David Hine's political tweets for the UK elections

Here's some tweets the British comics writer David Hine posted for the UK election. For example:

What a laugh. Those phonies, fully backing the Tories, is he saying? Please. He practically linked to a paper in one of the tweets below that's anything but favorable to the Conservatives. In fact, the New Statesman sided with Jeremy Corbyn of recent. Whether the shoddy BBC went against him, the notion the British press - largely left-wing themselves - was ever against Labour is decidedly ridiculous. With that told, Hine certainly appears to be on the Labour leader's side:

So he supports Corbyn, that communist who's sided with Hezbollah and Hamas, among other anti-semites and racists? Sick. And only explains why he'd be in the category of writers whose art you have to separate from the artist.

I don't think May is so great. But if he considers Corbyn better in every way, that's terrible and only makes a bad situation worse. Don't flatter yourself, Mr. Hine.

Let me get this straight. Is he against the death penalty for murderous criminals? If so, another groaner. Besides, didn't the London police just mete out the death sentence a few weeks ago to the jihadists who attacked Borough Market with a full-size van and knives? Those repellent Islamofascists deserved to be put to death for the horrors and murders they committed. How are monsters like the jihadists not a coalition of evil? If memory serves, Hine was one of the writers for Judge Dredd, Spawn and The Darkness, the kind of comics where the stars could end up killing criminals, so I can't figure out what Hine's logic is here.

And people like Hine cannot be contemplating a belittling of serious issues like the recent spate of Islamic terrorist attacks.

Here's another bizarre post:

Is that supposed to be some kind of attack on Churchill? Pretty disgusting. While we're on the topic, it's worth noting that Winston condemned Islam in his book, The River War.

But if he supports Corbyn, that ruins everything. The man's basically an ally of the wrong side, making him a poor choice. If only Hine would support Nigel Farage, but I've got a feeling Hine's against Farage for the very reasons I'd support the UKIP's former leader.
