Cold War Steve has been acclaimed as the Brexit Bruegel and a
modern-day Hogarth or Gillray. His Twitter feed, McFadden’s Cold
War, has become a cult phenomenon, with over 120,000 followers (and
counting). This book contains the prime cuts of his elaborate,
satirical photo collages from his Twitter feed, with further
exclusive, unseen new work. Begun as a personal reprieve from an
often-bleak political climate, Cold War Steve (Christopher Spencer
in real life) started collaging images of longstanding Eastender
Steve McFadden (aka Phil Mitchell) into Cold War-era scenarios,
using a £3 smartphone app while commuting. As ‘Brexit Britain’
begins to take shape his output has taken an increasingly surreal,
satirical turn – in what some are calling ‘furious absurdism’
– creating dystopian, absurdly funny Brexit-era landscapes
populated with a rotating cast of political, cultural or otherwise
newsworthy (or not) figures, and ever-present Fray Bentos pies. A
pitch-perfect marriage of Internet meme culture and the political
lampoon, Cold War Steve satirizes our increasingly
incongruous-seeming popularpolitical culture with quintessentially
British humour. In a time when the UK’s exit from the EU looms
large, Cold War Steve offers us a satirical escape from a world
that seems to have slipped its moorings from reality.
