As @BorisJohnson & @carrielbjohnson jet off to the Costa del Sol, @Coldwar_Steve has produced this
The man loading the boot is Tory donor David Ross, who allegedly paid for the PM’s Mustique holiday in 2019
Coldwar Steve is an important artist: the John Heartfield of our times

The truth is powerful
It’s why they try & hide it
Or distract from it
Or silence it
Like these women in Belarus striking fear into a bunch of secret policemen just by pulling off their balaclavas, artists can also unmask truths
Tyranny thrives in secrecy

You may not have heard of John Heartfield but his work will be familiar
He was sounding the alarm about the Nazi’s from the late 1920’s using humour to make visible their lies
He’s relevant today
Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.

John Heartfield’s 1935 montage,
“Hurrah, die Butter is alle!” (“Hurrah, There’s No Butter Left”) is a reference to Goering’s speech where he said: “Iron ore has always made an empire strong, butter & lard have made a people fat”
Was @BorisJohnson trolling us? #BuildBackButter

Hermann Göring was one of the most charming Nazi’s you’d be likely to meet
Funny, erudite & loved by his family & friends
He was also amoral & ruthless
A key architect of the Gestapo & the Holocaust he was held to account in 1946
But he’d lost long before Hitler’s armies fell
