(5 years ago)No satire, we're British” The cartoon on the front page of the French satirical weekly, Charlie Hebdo, was not well received by the British. It shows Queen Elizabeth crushing Prince Harry's wife on earth with her knee around her neck as in the case of an American killed by a police officer in Minneapolis. “Why Meghan [...]
“Why Meghan left Buckingham?”, is the title. The answer reminds you of George Floyd's last words: “because I could no longer breathe”. A “alla Charlie” comment concerning the interview in which Meghan said he was on the verge of suicide because of the way he was treated by the Windsor Court. From the interview with Oprah Winfrey, charges of racism against British kings also arose.
The British conservative press reacted furiously, but some of Charlie's recent sentences, known for his controversial cartoons about Mohamedi, also came from organisations fighting racism.
According to a survey by YouGov, the popularity of Prince Harry and his wife fell to the United Kingdom after the interview: 15 and 13 points below, respectively, in less than two weeks.
The cartoon, which mentions George Floyd's death, triggered protests throughout Great Britain: “Charlie Hebdo is false at all levels”, said Halima Begum, head of the anti-racism group, Runnymede Trust on Twitter.
“Queen like George Floyd's killer pressing Meghan's neck? Meghan saying he can't breathe? It reduces the problem and causes insults at all levels. ”
Enraged are also “Black and Asian Lawers For Justice”. According to them, it is a cover of scandalous, disgusting and fascist racism”, he said. For another anti-racist group, it's “a mediocre and ill thought response from Charlie Hebdo making the problem worse. This simple form of satire has no place in the fight against racism”.
