I've offered to repaint the mural on the children's centre, painted over on the orders of Robert Jenrick, in the refugee centre at Dover. Presuming I get a positive response, if any other cartoonist would like to join me, you'd be most welcome.

Oh that’s so good. I hope you have an amazing response.

I already have. If it goes ahead it will be a mural made up of work by most of the finest cartoonists and illustrators in the country. And a lot of tea and cakes from the locals!
