You can't be telling me that its very realistic that ghosts come flying out of a sinking ship towards a bed with Thatcher in the middle of the ocean [nightmares].

His style is grotesque and caricature for everyone.

Is it not actually a depiction of Thatcher's nightmares? Its not ghosts literally attacking her. Anyways, I am not exactly sure what you are trying to say in the expanded version of your post. Just talking about what?

No, I questioned the conclusion you came to, you can talk about it as much as you want but if you single it out negatively for things that frankly a lot of political cartoons do I'll make a note of it.

Are you saying the conclusion I came to is wrong? Or are you just getting angry that I didn't do it to every single one (which tends to be the Telegraph/Daily Mail/Express cartoons but sometimes Guardian/Indy) cartoon ever posted? Because I was pretty mad at a Steve Bell's IF.. cartoon before . If you want to be critical of every single banal bad opinion cartoon that generally are all the same be my guest and then I can nitpick on something you missed out on a cartoon rather then add to the discussion by talking about something I spotted in it. Not everyone sees the same thing, we're not all robots or Thatcherites.

I believe that your opinion, that it shows's the creator's political enemies to be bad people, but on the other hand that that is all well and good for a political cartoon. The worst are actually things like Mac which, as far as I can tell, typically say absolutely nothing.

Thanks again for keeping this great thread updated Fluo.

The recent Thatcher cartoons have really made me appreciate the lecture by Bell posted early in the thread.

The finale was great and it's nice to see them give a send up to Harry Goz. Murphy died the way he would of wanted, trapped under a soda machine with his spleen falling out of his anus.

It's inconceivable that it could be Self, as the speech lacks the appropriate level of masturbatory, sesquipidalian ornamentation and autophiliac prolixity

I'm not sure on this one, but I think it's saying that Thatcher was more decisive and assertive about international relations than Cameron. (Whether she made the right decisions or not is irrelevant I guess.)

Mr President, the physical reality of Prime Minister Corbyn is beyond your range of apprehension. If you'll just put on these PINKOVISION glasses...

Fluo posted:

Telegraph:

:confused:
That seems to be a reference to her statement on Rome European Summit of 1990, during which she vociferously argued against further integration with Europe. It was a speech that led to the resignation of Sir Geoffrey Howe, Deputy PM and Leader of the Commons, and very shortly to Thatcher's own downfall a few weeks later. I guess the Telegraph is hoping Cameron will fall on his own sword out of principle as well?

Given how lauding Thatcher hasn't helped his popularity a jot, it may as well be her holding it. Speaking out strongly against Europe would probably help him more than hurt him now within his own party though.
