Weirdly, the news outlets have also avoided the "saving kids' lives" aspect, in the headlines at least. "Wrestling with a shark" sounds like it was some fun activity he decided to do.0

Puntification posted:And the coalition extended the contract until 2015, making them just as culpable. The details have only really been leaking since after the renewal, though. The blame is therefore not equal, one way or another. If Labour didn't know how the results were created and the Tories did, then the Tories are worse. If the Tories didn't know, then all they did was not fix what didn't appear to be broken. If they both knew, or neither of them knew, then Labour are more to blame for being the ones who opened the door. It all boils down to whether the Tories knew the details, and given that this bunch wouldn't know where to find their arses with a labelled diagram tattooed on their leg I'm inclined to think they didn't.

Hmm true, quantifying the blame with the information available is possibly a wasted effort (also they are both terrible neo-liberal shits with little between them) and I should have just said "still culpable as well". I'm not sure ignorance should be a mitigating factor though since the minister retains the ultimate responsibility for the job atos is doing so if they didn't care to check they are incompetent.

This is interesting. The other day Murderion made the astute observation that the Telegraph cartoons tend to present the Government (or at least the Tories in Government), even when being critical, as the victims of overwhelming circumstance. While this cartoon isn't exactly Bellian-levels of the Chancellor in a bondage suit loving over the poor, it shows him on his own and without any outside forces intervening, while implying that everything he has tried so far has been an abject failure and that he is completely out of ideas.

He should have just drawn his usual googly-eyed bloke with a sausage nose and stuck him in the houses of parliament with a couple of wobble lines around his head. More and more I'm entertained by the idea that he's actually portraying this nightmare future with only five people living in the world and acting out 'historically accurate' scenes from the early 21st century for their alien masters.
