I don't think I've ever heard the phrase "job creators" said with a British accent.

I'm sure some of the other tories have started using it too, it seems to me that they are increasingly trying to import US phrases and talking points because they've realised the American right are way more effective at messaging than they are.

I don't even think they're being that clever, frankly. They're blaggers, just winging it and making the right noises. Stealing talking points from anyone they judge Knows What They're Talking About.

Maybe I'm massively underestimating wages in journalism, but would any of these cartoonists even be affected by the 50% rate themselves?

Surely Revolver would have been a better choice to parody since it actually has the song Taxman on it. Which was complaining about tax rates under Labour, no less.

I don't really expect Telegraph readers to be Beatles fans, they most likely think of Yale Quartet when thinking of 1960s music. Speaking of music I was just thinking this the other day then someone linked me this article from 2011 on pop music now: http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9373000/9373158.stm

Mr. Flunchy posted:Why is Cameron drawn so crappily in all these Telegraph cartoons? That could be anyone. Express you mean? He's a poo poo artist. I know it's kinda sarky but really I don't think there's much to it. I don't think he ever really gets the part about caricatures where you're supposed to exaggerate features or insert them into references and the like.

Hasn't he drawn him like that for so long that people automatically know it's Cameron now? I'm sure he said something along those lines, that he'd become just as recognisable to regular readers as an accurate caricature, so there was no point changing it to make it more accurate. Seems fair enough to me.

Yeah he said he actually draws Cameron badly on purpose, and everyone recognises him now so it's kind of his 'funny thing'. No word on why he draws everything else badly (except celebrities)

Urgh, every single time they comment on Scotland, even the Independent... Carney's not "burst" anyone's bagpipes, all he's come out and said is "I'll set it up once you two agree on what to do, but you've both got to make concessions to each other and actually talk about what to do instead of playing silly buggers *glares at Osbourne and Darling*."

Zephro posted:Most of the London press has a visceral dislike for Scotland, and yet take the idea of independence as a personal affront. It makes no sense. I'd guess it's a sort of residual imperialist mindset, where they believe Scotland rightfully belongs to the British Empire and not the ghastly savages that actually live there. They may hate the place but Scotland being in the UK materially benefits England and independence would reduce England's remaining power and wealth.

God drat it, those Express cartoons just... Eurgh. Can we just not post them? They have never been well drawn, made a funny joke or made an incisive point, nor will they ever. Even Mac at least has a vaguely charming art style and something that might be considered a debateable opinion, if you squint. There is nothing to redeem the Express cartoons; they're too lazy to even have fun sneering at.
