Have you noticed that the Express cartoons are often extremely off topic sentimentalist shite. I mean the one about 'Kate's baby WILL be Queen'.. well yes. They changed the law a few months ago in case its a girl. It just reads like weird propaganda. And the Winnie the Pooh thing too I suppose.

I could give the terrible art a pass if the setups were clever or insightful, but half the time it feels like he just wants to make some banal observation that's popped into his head, like if you gave some crayons to your average right-winger on their lunch break and said 'here, try making a cartoon'. I sort of hope it's someone knowingly making awful cartoons and getting paid by a horrible newspaper for 5 minutes' work. Seeing how far he can push it before they realise he's taking the piss. The detailed birds always seem like a statement of integrity, completely out of place and showing actual care and precision. Like a secret symbol - yes these cartoons are intended to insult the reader's intelligence, welcome to Bird Club. And that Torygraph cartoon is a new low I think?

Qatada seems like a pretty unpleasant chap, but I don't really understand why he is being deported or why it's so important to deport him that we should ignore the EHRC. He hasn't been convicted of (or prosecuted for) any crime in the UK and the UK doesn't have an extradition treaty with Jordan (where he has been convicted of a serious crime). From a quick Google I guess it's under part (i) of this?Immigration rules, Part 13 - Deportation posted:363. The circumstances in which a person is liable to deportation include:

The cartoon's accurate in the sense that he's become A Big Deal just because they won't stop publicly fighting a lost cause. He doesn't even need to do anything except appeal any decisions against him - the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the government and the media does the rest. The oxygen and firelighters and lighter fluid of publicity. If they'd just shut up and banned him from using the internet or whatever, nobody would even remember he existed. Everything else about the cartoon is the direct opposite of reality though Guavanaut posted:I took it as a suggestion rather than an observation. A good cartoon. Good point! I assume that's what their nightmares are about anyway (it's not like they have a conscience between them) so we may as well make their dreams a reality baka kaba fucked around with this message at 13:20 on Apr 25, 2013 |

Gonzo McFee posted:Hey, at least they're acknowledging that Churchill also wanted to use chemical weapons. Yeah sorry was mainly talking about the idea of Churchill being on a £5 note and not so much about the cartoon! But Seriously, Churchill is so over rated and only remembered for "single handedly winning ww2" and everything else where he was a massive poo poo is just forgotten. Being against the NHS, being against pretty much all of Attlee's stuff. Being against Gandhi etc. quote:It is alarming and also nauseating to see Mr. Gandhi, a seditious Middle Temple lawyer of the type well-known in the East, now posing as a fakir, striding half naked up the steps of the Viceregal palace to parley on equal terms with the representative of the King-Emperor. Also the quote about gasing: quote:I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. We have definitely adopted the position at the Peace Conference of arguing in favour of the retention of gas as a permanent method of warfare. It is sheer affectation to lacerate a man with the poisonous fragment of a bursting shell and to boggle at making his eyes water by means of lachrymatory gas. I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes. The moral effect should be so good that the loss of life should be reduced to a minimum. It is not necessary to use only the most deadly gases: gases can be used which cause great inconvenience and would spread a lively terror and yet would leave no serious permanent effects on most of those affected ... We cannot, in any circumstances acquiesce to the non-utilisation of any weapons which are available to procure a speedy termination of the disorder which prevails on the frontier.
