Janey Godley 1961-2024: applying the emergency brake* to Trump

In Uncategorized on November 2, 2024 by kmflett

Its sad to see that Scots comedian Janey Godley has died after a long illness at 63.

She became known for her parodies of Nicola Sturgeon during the pandemic period. The context of those weird times needs to be taken into account of course.

Most particularly given the moment she must be remembered for holding up a protest placard during Trump’s 2018 visit to Scotland which stated robustly that ‘Trump is a c**t.

*Walter Benjamin saw revolution as applying the emergency brake to a world out of control. That is exactly what Janey Godley did in 2018
