REGARDED as one the great comics writers, Alan Moore has gone on social media to back Labour on December 12.

“Here’s something you don’t see every day: an internet-averse anarchist announcing that he’ll be voting Labour in the elections,” he reveals on Facebook. He’s doing so because, he says, “these are unprecedented times.”

Having only voted once in the last four decades, “because leaders are mostly of benefit to no-one save themselves,” Moore is going to the ballot box this time to oppose leaders who “are so unbelievably malevolent and catastrophic that they must be strenuously opposed by any means available.
