In the raft one, does Osbourne have a fake/robot arm? Is he a cyborg now?

Guardian: IDS's bloodsucking universal credit formula. David Cameron and Nick Clegg give unequivocal commitment to deal that 'does what it says on the tin'. Telegraph: Indy: Daily : quote:‘Wonderful news. My boss has given me a reduction in pay.’ Tried hunting the other newspaper sites but its just depressing. The Sun is just a kind of CGI cartoon series about vampires, not political. You have to see it to believe it. Daily Mirror had just alot of comics, Can't access The Times and gently caress paying Murdoch. Morning Star last added one 9th December. Oh and I refuse to visit the daily sport or daily star. However have a Daily Express. Paul Thomas Paul Thomas has been the political cartoonist of the Daily Express since 1998. Prior to the Daily Express, he was pocket cartoonist for the Independent on Sunday from 1990-2000, for whom he also contributed both sports cartoons and the ‘Blair Babe’ cartoon strip. He was business cartoonist of the Evening Standard from 1990-1998, and political cartoonist of Punch magazine from 1987-1991, where he created ‘The Safeways’ strip and was also cartoon editor. He was a regular contributor to the Spectator from 1988-1998, providing several covers, spot cartoons and the ‘Wold Affairs’ cartoon strip. He was political cartoonist of the Sunday Telegraph from 1995-1996. Paul’s work has also appeared in the Sunday Times, The Times, The Independent, The Daily Telegraph, Private Eye and Shares Magazine. He has illustrated three books by Hunter Davies for Random House.

It is a delightfully disgusting piece of work. It very much reminds me of the best known scene in Junji Ito's glyceride.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad posted:No party in recent history has increased their share of the vote into their second term. Considering the conservatives didn't win the last election and now people have realised what they're like, it's not looking good for them. Thank gently caress. Here is an interesting chart that shows the monthly poll results for the last 20 years. Based on that I'd say the next election is pretty much up for grabs - mostly depending on how the economy looks in 2015 I imagine: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AonYZs4MzlZbcGhOdG0zTG1EWkVPOEY3OXRmOEIwZmc#gid=2

This gets asked quite a lot. He kind of morphed into the pink condom over time. But only in Steve Bells work as pointed out above. Side note some of theses sync over each other time wise. Originally he was just drawn as a human. Then he did Cameron and Osborne as 'ToryTubbies'. Then a Jellyfish. And then the Condom. The top image [48 hour on the go and still fresh one] he got the idea from when he met Cameron during the Election. He talks about what the condom theme is about.

Thanks for that incredibly in-depth explanation! I haven't been following UK politics that much, but now that I've been seeing some of the cartoons, some of which have horrifying pink condom creatures, this definitely seems to be something interesting to read up on.

Yeah, if Savile's abuse was as widespread as is claimed then it's nothing short of astonishing that it didn't come out until after his death. This one looks like it's asking how he was able to escape justice.
