They are actually honestly advocating closed borders, and denying freedom of movement to other member states? Oh for fucks sake.

Daily Express "No new EU Migrants" campaign grows from a waste of stamps to an enormous waste of stamps, yet something will happen in government that was going to happen anyway to enable the Express to call this some kind of victory. Business as usual!

I doubt there's any real chance of it happening, but if the UK were to close its borders or strictly limit migration from the EU would there be repercussions like other EU countries no longer accepting UK migrants, or would they be happy to keep taking on our best trained and educated young people while the UK's skilled workforce slowly drained away? e: I feel like all we've got going for us at the moment is that we speak English, are conveniently nearby and are still somewhat less expensive than America for tertiary education (and degrees are shorter). I'm not really sure why else smart young people from the rest of western Europe would want to come here. big scary monsters fucked around with this message at 12:27 on Nov 5, 2013 |

It's pretty much impossible. Any migration ban/closing of borders would be overturned by pretty much every level of court. For it to happen we would need to leave the EU and almost certainly also withdraw from free trade agreements.

I know Alex isn't really a political cartoon per se, but I thought it was interesting that the Telegraph managed to put colour onto an otherwise black and white page, just to make the inclusion of the poppy noticeable (the logo is monochrome in the print edition). Obviously Alex's layabout artist son wouldn't honour Our Lads...

See my first instinct there was the guy talking sense is the protagonist, the two glib pinstriped City gents are FYGM types representing the whole problem, and the blaring red poppies on both of them, like part of their identical uniform, are a criticism of the way people automatically and conspicuously adopt that symbol as proof of their morality and good character But you said Telegraph, sooo

A reference to this story http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/a...er-8921699.html about an Ethiopian asylum seeker apparently being given flying lessons. (I say "apparently" because it's a Tax Payers Alliance story that's been sent to all the Tory rags, so who knows what the full story is there).

I've given up on the badgers, they just aren't worth it because two lines does not a badger make. The birds are always nicely done (loved today's owl) and the foxes are at least recognizably fox-like.

I don't even know if Paul Thomas should be in here - he barely flirts with politics, it's either a) some stupid poo poo about nothing that happens to feature a political figure (see above) b) the royal family does a thing c) a celebrity does a thing d) general xenophobia and prejudice e) some stupid poo poo about nothing that doesn't happen to feature a political figure
