The satirical art of Miriam Elia has featured a number of times on the Daily Sceptic over the last two years, including the wonderfully apt image of Professor Neil Ferguson as Mystic Meg.
Now Miriam has produced the must-have sceptical souvenir of the pandemic: the COVID-19 commemorative plate. With a limited run of 200, the plate depicts touching moments from the lockdowns, such as the Imprisoning of the Elderly, the Arresting of Picknickers and the Banning of Childhood. She writes:
Do you feel nostalgic looking back at times we were imprisoned in our homes and going for a picnic was a terrible crime?
Would you like to commemorate this unique moment in our history in a special way?
Then look no further than the Dung Beetle COVID-19 Souvenir Plate.
Order yours today while stocks last.

Why protect only those sectors.
Why should the building trade, insurance or hairdressing be exposed to the risk of huge legal bills if staff (unions!) decide to make claims for offensive words.
Its always a slippery slope to authoritarianism.
Lord Young of Acton has taken his appointment to the Lords very seriously and is discharging his responsibilities with vigour.
Hats off!
The picture at the top of the article proves that things have got ugly.
” …..as long as that opinion is not “indecent or grossly offensive”.
And there’s the problem the law doesn’t clearly define “grossly offensive” only “cause distress or anxiety to the recipient or to any other person”
So anyone could say they were grossly offended. In that respect Lord Young’s amendments are as much use as a chocolate teapot.
What very sad, and miserable people the Labour Cabinet and MP’s must be. So dependent upon the support of those who would reintroduce Purtanism back into the country, whilst turning a blind eye to child rape and torture.
Stop press 2.1 Toby corrects himself and says I don’t think Angela Rayner is capable of thinking this through.
