Yeah, Qatada won the previous one but is now two behind, implying that May was already two ahead at that point? Shame, as it's not a bad comic in concept.

In fairness, the crimes were in some cases committed decades ago; most people won't remember the names of the victims. There's not really enough room on the slab for both the names and the information, and the image wouldn't work without a lot of slabs, so I don't see how Mac could have done it any other way.

Points taken away for two things, though - it's Douglas Vinter, not Vintner, and there are stones for two of his victims when he only killed one person (his wife).

Even when the TUC dog is supposed to be threatening he can't help but draw it with the same dazed half-grin at the camera that everybody else has, so it just looks like it's having a seizure. In fact, everybody in those cartoons looks like they're staging it for an amateur home video.

I think it's a take on the old "lonely housewife has affair with postman" joke. I was angry and confused for a second when I thought he was trying to say RM postmen just lie around having orgies all day and thus need privatisation to give them a kick up the arse, but then it clicked.

Now I want a briefcase with my job title on it too. :( Couldn't he have drawn some easily recognisable members of the cabinet or something instead? They're a funny-looking bunch, other cartoonists have great fun drawing them.

I also like the news stand, in English, no less, on an otherwise barren alien planet.

edit: and the fact that Britain is ENORMOUS compared to continental Europe. And Africa and the Indian sub-continent must be at the south pole (or they don't exist, wouldn't surprise me for the Express). And the three different planets with visible rings apparently all in our solar system to be that close to Earth. There's just so many terrible things about that cartoon, I keep noticing new ones hidden away.
