Someone should do a comic strip about that time they found horsemeat in those beefburgers. That'd probably be pretty popular.

That thing is rad  Seriously though, look at that bird in the cartoon. Proud. Stoic. In the scene yet utterly apart from it. Why is it there? It's like a message. From the future. What secrets to life's questions does the Daily Express hold? Or maybe the bird is Diana

Ok there's a bird in every loving cartoon. Drawn by someone with more talent: http://www.express.co.uk/comment/cartoon/view/2013-01-30 I guess it's some kind of 'find the bird' game? It's not like they're buried in a scene rich with nuanced detail or anything. Maybe the cartoonist hates birds and someone at the paper keeps adding them in, so he furiously scans the picture looking for THE loving BIRD I KNOW IT'S HERE e: holy poo poo this guy is awful  He makes Mac's stuff look like works of sparkling wit and insight. I'm sure those birds are some kind of protest - just look at the expression on that one. I'm seriously intrigued now baka kaba fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Feb 16, 2013 |

The Mantel story is the best PR coup for Cameron in a while. All he had to do was say nice things about Kate Middleton and the Daily Mail's hysterical readers (who he might have lost a bit over Europe and gay marriage) are pacified, without any negative press at all. Perfect! In a just world he'd be called out for taking time out of a supposedly massively important trip in India to comment on a storm in a teacup and misunderstand it completely, while pandering to the press in the post-Leveson world. It is nice to see the other cartoons focusing on him screwing up in other ways though.

The line they're taking on this is sociopathic even by Mail/Express standards. Those kids apparently don't deserve proper housing so I guess they should all either live in one room and be grateful for it or the mother should do the decent thing and kill them all so they won't be a burden on the state.

I dunno how it is in Britain but unless you have a race horse or work horse your horse is worth jack poo poo over here. I saw one being given away on Craigslist the other day. Others are just left lose to run wild (in actuality to be rounded up by animal control and then auctioned off to the dog food company for a hundred bucks a pop.)
