Abstract
‘The Unholy Trinity – In the beginning was power; that is to say, the police and the military. And the only-begotten son of Power is Respectability, and proceeding from Power and Respectability is Money, the product of their mutual love.’ So begins Gill’s Unholy Trinity, a collection of short political essays that include topics such as ‘Europa and the Bull’, ‘Safe for Christianity’ and ‘Melancholia’. The satirical images accompanying the text are by Denis Tegetmeier, who was married to Petra, one of Gill’s daughters.
