Bonnie Prince Bob is a Scottish artist, filmmaker, and political commentator known for his uncompromising, far-left socialist critique of politics and media. With a BA in Fine Art from Edinburgh College of Art, Bob has built a following through his livestream series #WhatTheX, contributions to Bella Caledonia and Conter, and his leadership in the Capital City Crisis campaign challenging Edinburgh city planning policy. Fiercely anti-capitalist, anti-neoliberal, and pro-Palestine, Bob is massively opposed to Zionism and the apartheid state of Israel. His worldview holds that all party-political politicians operate under the same vested interests, making genuine concern for social or economic issues virtually nonexistent. He believes most mainstream journalism is recycled PR, and his writing reflects that cynicism — acerbic, sarcastic, and hyper-critical. Blending satire, polemic, and street-level sensibility, Bob refuses neutrality in favour of direct ideological confrontation. His top bands — The Fall, The Clash, Public Enemy, The Prodigy, and The Specials — mirror his raw, politically charged energy.
