Wait, Scotland and England already have actual border crossings with guards and everything? Why on earth would do they do that?

Not sure if you're joking but we don't. There's a pub and the trees go from round to pointy, that's about it.

There is a clearly marked border. With no barrier, no guards. It's just a line with some signs saying SCOTLAND and ENGLAND.

I had mistaken the boarder crossing in that cartoon for an actual boarder crossing as opposed to just the entrance to the NATO base. It wasn't a very good cartoon...

It always irritates me how whenever the topic is Scotland even the decent leftish cartoonists like the Independent go completely "hah, look at these stupid jocks and sweaty socks, trying to do things" bigoted.

If there's a line I've not seen it on the A1. There is a Welcome to Scotland sign though, and it's always amused me that there's no corresponding Welcome to England sign on the other side.

No it is meant to represent the fact there's a border, the NATO base sign is just to say one exists in Scotland, like Nessie and stags. You just mistook Adams for something other than a lazy stereotyping Tory hack, that's all

Bell's usual rendition of himself is in the person of Monsieur l'Artiste. It's certainly not a million miles away!

I've just realised that it's also got a pretty big resemblance to how he drew Gerry Adams: (This is from 1996, and it was the first half of a glorious extended setup for one of the best jokes Bell's ever done)

Did Paul Thomas have some traumatic experience involving Romanians a couple of weeks ago, or has he always been this obsessed with immigrants and I didn't notice? Maybe it's just that the royal family hasn't done anything interesting lately to distract him.

Maybe it's just that the royal family hasn't done anything interesting lately to distract him. Like Fluo said, they alternate bland inconsequential Little England coverage and outright nasty bigotry and drum-beating. It's the fact they can go between the two so smoothly that makes it more disturbing. Right now they're literally running some Slawen Raus campaign, which is probably why Thomas is so indulgent lately

 Obviously the best way to satirise the media saturation of a specific show is to represent cynics as achingly lacking in any kind of intellectual curiosity about its fantastical subject when it appears in reality.
