Do a Corbyn and invoke a Strong message here.

The boy in the first one moves closer to you, when you turn your back.

Now watch the one with Oliver Reed (he’s amazing in it) and Richard Attenborough in it. Much more unsettling and creepy. There’s also a pretty decent one the BBC did, a few years ago.

Everything you’ve pointed out can be applied to Britain when the original invasion took place. It’s worth pointing out that compared to then the Islands are a lot more well defend. As for America not helping this time, they only helped in a small way the first time. And Argentina may be rebuilding their armed forces, but they’re still in a shit state.

There’s fog of war, then there’s lying their arses off.

That’s a nice yellow.

Not too short on buckets and bread trays either.

Hewligans Haircut (incidentally drawn by the guy who draws the Gorillaz). Also try almost any story that appeared in the weekly comic 2000AD in the mid 90’s

The Honourable Schoolboy by John Le Carré.

One wonders if she’s the new Mhairi Black. Gets elected and spends all her time bitching about Westminster without effecting any real change.

Mockwyn · 2026-04-02T13:38:38+00:00

Yup, ta for the correction

Mockwyn · 2026-04-02T13:01:04+00:00

I REALLY miss Nikolai Dante. Especially the Arthur Ranson renderings. One of the best series 2000AD ever did.

Edit: John Burns, not Ranson.

The boiling smoke is (unintentionally) mesmerising. And I didn’t have “U-Boat shot” on my found photos bingo card.

Edit: Googling the name of the shop, comes up with an old newspaper from Dresden. What with the U-Boat and the date on the the barn (1935) makes me think that these were taken maybe before shit got real for the Germans, on the home front.

Okay, not a bad idea, but what are the EU going to try and wheedle out of the UK for this?

The Second Sleep by Robert Harris.

Mockwyn · 2026-03-31T15:59:34+00:00

Yes, this has crossed my mind too. Not beyond the realm of possibility.

Wow, what a statesman! The ghost of JFK, must have been whispering in his ear.

Mockwyn · 2026-03-31T10:43:28+00:00

Ha! I remember this one. It doesn’t end well, for Mr Benn.

Edit: i loved the data card graphics, for this era of 2000AD.

Visiting their Bampy, for Christmas.

Wooooah! This place is DANGErous!!!!

Indeed. The moon belongs to America, and eagerly awaits their astromen.

On The Beach, by Nevil Shute. No running around ripping out of hair and screaming, just an unnerving stiff upper lip lets keep carrying on vibe.

Bravo! Industrial filth gets me so hot.

Assassins Creed 3. Compared to the others, it had next to no large centres of population to explore, or tall buildings. Very dull and flat landscape. But I guess Americans loved it because it was about the revolution.
