"Hoi" means "the", if even little state-educated me knows that, the Times journos' parents might want a refund on their school fees. Though this is a pretty good cartoon, I feel a bit bad pointing that out when they print something quite funny for a change.

I like Stephen Collins a lot more when he does vaguely political stuff, the 'polite middle-class conversations except someone is a dinosaur' thing got kinda old

I thought Rowson had dropped the fag but it's there next to the pint! I also thought he'd left out Clegg for a minute :witch:

oF ME GETTING HURT,


I don't live in Britain so maybe I'm missing something, but there seems to be a strange fascination with UKIP among cartoonists of all stripes. Honestly, looking at their electoral gains they don't sound all that impressive, I mean maybe they can replace the Liberal Democrats as the party that comes in third but the way they're being portrayed in these cartoons it's like Nigel Farage is about to throw the Beerhall Putsch or something.

Even cartoonists who would normally spend their time making GBS threads on the Conservatives and mocking Cameron seem to portray Nigel as a looming threat, which is weird when he's just a clown who could never be Prime Minister or probably even leader of the opposition. It's kind of the way the Americans reacted to the Tea Party and Sarah Palin, only with even less chance at success.

Part of it is he's just really cartoonish anyway, which makes him easy fodder for hack cartoonists. Draw a face, add fag & pint, you have yourself a Nigel Farage.
