This cartoon by Citizen Chicane is about British Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson‘s coronavirus mismanagement.
Boris Johnson accused of putting business interests before public health: here.
Why is Britain’s coronavirus response so poor? The Covid-19 failure has deep roots within the ideology of successive governments that have been committed to centralised, privatised solutions and hostile to the public sector, says SOLOMON HUGHES.
This 9 June 2020 satirical music video from Britain is a parody of the song Proud Mary by Tina Turner.

[17th-century Bristol, England slave trader] Edward Colston – Rolling to the River
The statue of Edward Colston sings.
LYRICS:
Left a good job in the city
Joined the Royal African Company
Worked my way up to Deputy Governor
19,000 slaves died on our journeys
Statue was still erected
But it seems some of you objected
Now I’m rolling, rolling, rolling to the river
Grave of enslaved African in Bristol vandalised in ‘retaliation attack’: here.
This 5 June 2020 satiric animated cartoon video by Mark Fiore from the USA says about itself:
Operation Photo Op
And here I thought we wouldn’t have troops on the street until closer to the election. The George Floyd protests have laid bare the underlying horriffic racism that has marred the United States throughout our history. Of course, Donald Trump is definitely not the guy we want in office to help heal our country’s racial wounds.
A perfect storm of Trumpism happened when the administration ordered police and military forces to violently clear peaceful protesters from Lafayette Park next to the White House, just so Trump could make a show of holding a Bible in front of St. John’s Church. The president finally behaved like one of the autocrats he admires. He’s a wannabe strongman who unfortunately just showed us he has the tools to be an actual strongman.
But it’s not just Trump, Attorney General William Barr, Jared Kushner and Mark Esper are all complicit in this attack on our democracy and their actions should not be laughed off as just “Trump being Trump”. In the United States, this sort of thing is illegal, I only hope our laws catch up with this band of criminals bent on undermining our democracy.
Stay safe, keep fighting for racial justice and watch out for troop deployments.
US cops shot dead black man passed out in a car the same day George Floyd was killed: here.
Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News promotes conspiracy theory that the mass anti-racist demonstrations are not caused by police brutality, but by the ‘Weather Underground’ (defunct in the 1970s): here. Probably, the puppets of anti-Semitic billionaire Rupert Murdoch base that on the fact that, today, there is a meteorological information internet site, called Weather Underground.
This 31 May 2020 satiric music video from Britain is called Katrina and the Second Waves – Flocking on Sunshine.
It is a parody of the song Walking on Sunshine, by Katrina and the Waves.
It is about people in Britain who think that the COVID-19 pandemic is basically over: because Dominic Cummings, adviser to Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson, violates public health rules against travel. Because Boris Johnson says people should go back working at unsafe non-essential-workplaces, some people think it is supposedly safe to go to crowded beaches; which may cause a second wave of COVID-19 illness.
The video says about itself:
I used to think lockdown was over, now baby I’m sure
And I just can’t wait to spend all day down at Durdle Door
Now every time I check on the guidance, it just says ‘stay alert’
I think that means: try to emerge from your day out unhurtNow we’re flocking on sunshine, whoa
We’re flocking on sunshine, whoa
We’re flocking on sunshine, whoa
And don’t it feel good!I used to think lockdown was over, now I know that it’s true
The government’s fucking atrocious, why can’t we be too?
The public loos are closed so I’ll just have to bury my crap
Like a cat
I already did my bit for the NHS when I clappedOh yeah
Now we’re flocking on sunshine, whoa
We’re flocking on sunshine, whoa
We’re flocking on sunshine, whoa
And don’t it feel good!

This 12 May 2020 satiric music video from Britain is called Summer of COVID-19 (Bryan Adams parody).
It is a parody of Bryan Adams’ song Summer of ’69.
The lyrics are:
I got my first real backlash
Tweeting out a racist whine
Typed until my fingers bled
It was the summer of COVID-19Those bastards ate a load of bats
Now I can’t play the Albert Hall
Pretty shit, man I hate China
At least my tweet is going viralI might be real old now
But this summer’s gonna last forever
And if I had the choice
(Redacted for extreme racism)
This is the worst day of my life
This 2320 animated cartoon by Mark Fiore from the USA says about itself
The Healthiest Man on the Planet!
There is nothing to worry about because President Trump is doing a tremendous job, right? Plus, it’s all China’s fault. And if it’s not China’s fault, the Europeans are behind our current virus troubles. After all, it is a “foreign virus.” Paging Stephen Miller!

This town
Let’s make it slightly like a ghost town
Try your best not to go the pub
This place
We’re considering a lockdown
But please don’t horde pasta
Too much fighting in the AsdaDo you remember the good old days before the ghost town?
We’d dance and sing and point at A&Es and have them shut down
(That one there!)This town
Let’s brief imminent lockdown
People leave town and the virus spreads
Probably shouldn’t have scrapped all those hospital beds
This place
Let’s make it slightly like a ghost town
Tests only for celebrities
Mortgage holidays
The renters getting hungryDo you remember the behavioural science at the Nudgestock?
I made some notes, just let me program them into Matt HancockThis town
Let’s make it partially like a ghost town
Unenforced, so insurers don’t scream
This place
Let’s dither on a clampdown
Herd immunity
Situation getting shitty

Bernie Sanders‘s Barney the Dinosaur tribute act.
LYRICS:
I love unions
They love me
Not so much the DNC
They want Michael Bloomberg, Mayor Pete or Joe
They’ll uphold the status quoI love unions
They love me
Not so much Team Hillary
If you ask me, they’d take four more years of Trump
They can take a running jumpI love unions
They love me
Less so MSNBC
They don’t like to hear about the CIA
Installing General PinochetI love unions
They love Bern
Don’t give Trump a second term
Which’ll happen if it’s Pete or Mini Mike
Don’t ask me, ask Dick Van Dyke

Potential slaughter

Home Office is ‘institutionally racist’! The way to end the ‘hostile environment’ is to bring down the Tories: here.
The move to appoint Andrew Sabisky as an adviser to the British government confirms the emergence of a fascist element in the Conservative Party. In blog posts and comments, Sabisky has said, “[V]ery real racial differences in intelligence are significantly—even mostly—genetic in origin” and that “it would be nice” if politicians paid attention “from the standpoint of immigration control …” He has argued, “One way to get around the problems of unplanned pregnancies creating a permanent underclass would be to legally enforce universal uptake of long-term contraception”. here.
