@Miraz @theguardian I agree. And I usually love Chris Riddell. This is...clunky. Awkward. A creeping spectre with dripping blood (too much! Too soon!), a bogeyman to blame, when it’s clear that more alarming is the casual racism and tolerated expressions of hate that have seemingly been allowed to pass by, every day, without comment. Maybe we thought only “nutters” took any of it seriously. But our passivity in addressing any of this has now laid the foundation for this atrocity. Plus, of course, that abominable silver fern. NZ is trying, right now, really trying to understand and to face facts. Poking us with sticks rather than showing solidarity—or at least a little sympathy—doesn’t help.
