Oh right, I stand corrected. Is this a regional thing? I don't remember running into these in Scotland except for German beer.

Only time I've seen them up here was the Greyfriars pub in Edinburgh (which I'll recommend for reasons other than the glasses as well).

Man, that is horrid. Clegg looks like a blow-up doll or a rent boy and Farage, I don't even know what he looks like - not Farage that's for sure. I feel like he's trying to sell me a used car.

These are just loving strange today. The Mail one is nothing I have heard of and can't for a frigging second think is relevant to anyone, anywhere, and the Express... What the hell has Cameron got on his desk? Is it a keyboard, because the screen is to his side. MAybe its one of those play dashboard things you can stick on the back of the car seat to amuse children. I don't think anyone has a Direct Line/Bat phone, either.

That's how a desk terminal at a manager's desk would often be laid out the last time that Thomas saw a computer. Keyboard in natural typing position and stowed away when not in use, terminal off in the corner to allow your important people-facing chats, single comms cable running to a wall socket linked to the building mainframe. He obviously believes that the office has not moved on since the early 90s (maybe the Conservatives do too?)

For the love of all reason Thomas, UKIP HAVE NO MPs! If you were trying to depict a gothic Brussels, then yes, some occasionally show up but not in Westminster. Maybe its a way to make Express readers think they are already in power. Or it may just be lazy bollocks.

She was actually wearing high heels so that's hardly the worst aspect of that cartoon. Oh noes, an unusual looking individual! This is clearly an unpleasant situation!
