I think it is more an illustration of making cuts to the military and weakening it whilst being involved in a conflict.

But it comes across as a parody of those arguments because the scenario presented is so utterly ludicrous. I'd be certain it actually was a parody if it wasn't coming from the Express.

Yeah, its making it out as if a terrorist group is more like an army which would be able to invade and take over a western country rather then just do terror attacks.

Fluo posted:Daily Heil: And it's actually a very subtle and clever joke - which makes me wonder if it's intentional. For those who are thankfully not au fait with pop culture: 50 Shades of Grey is about a sub/dom relationship and takes its name from the dom, Christian Grey. Hence, Cameron is being portrayed as trying to be the dom in Britain's relationship with Europe. But ask anyone who knows their BDSM, and they'll tell you that in a proper sub/dom relationship it's the sub who sets all the boundaries. So you have Cameron making himself look ridiculous while trying to show he's in charge, and it's actually Brussels who are calling the shots.

This is a Daily Mail cartoon so I'm going to assume that the intended meaning doesn't rely on a knowledge of BDSM relationships. Honestly it reminded me of the story Greek historians made up about how Xerxes had the sea whipped after a storm destroyed the bridge he'd had built so his armies could invade Greece. That'd be an amusing comment on Cameron's idiocy but again I'm going to assume that's not the intended meaning.

Pretty much over analysis of daily mail cartoons are a bad idea. As they don't know the whole BDSM as you said apart from "One person inflicts pain onto other". So I think they're saying Cameron is going to teach the EU a lesson. Which is insane. a pipe smoking dog posted:What's your problem with crosshatching?

I've never really fully worked it out as sometimes they post stuff that could be in the Guardian other times Stuff in the Daily Mail (but saying that the Guardian has some articles that could be mistaken for Daily Maily sometimes like the latest transphobic articles).

Guardian:  The PM has promised that making business pay its fair share would be one of the key aims of Britain's G8 presidency. Telegraph:  EU politics, but the football theme is because of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypUcymhjKo0 I guess Bob is trying to make it out you should feel sorry for the ballboy but he was quite a prick. Before the game he was bragging what he was going to do and he was wasting time beyond any respectable time. However the Chelsea player shouldn't have kicked him in the ribs. Aka both are wrong. Indy:  Daily Express:  lol'd as Telegraph is other way around. Fluo fucked around with this message at 12:23 on Jan 25, 2013 |

It's particularly funny, because the Chelsea player is Eden Hazard, a Belgian/EUlandian. Not really the right person to represent the good, honest and hardworking BRITISH ballgetter, Cameron.

Spiderfist Island posted:The fact that Osbourne also cut off Cameron's fingertip in the frenzy is a great touch. It's really a great example of "show, not tell" in cartooning - just from their expressions in the last panel we understand the positions of all three of them: Osborne looks very happy with what he's done; Cameron is upset, but only at the damage he's suffered; Boris is appalled - or at least he's appearing to be... And all of this is communicated with zero words.

Guardian: Holy gently caress..... where the hell is this going to go?   George Osborne and the 'spare bedroom tax'. The new 'window tax' where people just bricked up their windows. However since its spare bedrooms it will most likely be converted into a study or something if they're rich....... wait a second what about quote:In April the new 'spare bedroom tax' comes into force, meaning many low-income families and disabled people will be forced to move or face yet more cuts. The implications are frightening   Cartoon from yesterday, titled Your guide to the European referendum. Sorry that's the biggest size. Telegraph:  I think its related to lately there is been a lot of press talk about all different names of people who are being groomed / want to overthrow Cameron and become PM. The Indy Boris/Murdoch one is related to. Unless I've missed something about tennis. quote:Conservative MP Adam Afriyie has insisted he is "100% supportive" of David Cameron, after several newspapers reported he was being groomed as the next Tory leader.  quote:Starbucks rejects tax row threat after Cameron speech Indy:    Cameron cherry picking, wants all the bonuses of the EU thats good for Britain but nothing else. Pretty much never heard of compromise. And by "good for Britain" I mean tories. quote:David Cameron will use EU reforms to repatriate and weaken workers' rights, Frances O'Grady, the new leader of the Trades Union Congress will warn on Monday.  Triple Dip Recession http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/9826019/UK-heads-for-triple-dip-as-GDP-contracts-0.3pc.html Daily Express:  His popular went up 3 points. It looks like this.

There's just so much good stuff going on in the Rowson one! The triple dip-locoducus eating the curtains to reveal the elephants in the closed reading an IMF report is just too good. Not to mention the frightened Danny Alexander whimpering in a corner.
