a: holy poo poo that's an amazing Fartrage b: now I'm annoyed I had to console a friend of mine over some real life bullshit rather than go to Rowson's book launch party on the 19th, the "Giles-meets-Gillray creche of children and puppets" is a loving perfect metaphor for the coalition.

I like how all the others refer to actual policy mentions, whether they support it or not, whereas the Express is just 'Better Future!' Paul Thomas is consistently terrible.

Er, yeah ... probably not the poem I would have used, considering the rest of it. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand; A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born? I particularly wouldn't have framed the words in that way, where it appears to be saying that ISIS are "the best".

Changes it from an utterly milquetoast "hooray, a speech!" to a rather biting one about Cameron's UKIP woes; I actually like it a lot. His base is unhappy, some of them even to the point of open rebellion, but all he can hear is praise. Literally A Good Cartoon.

Yeah but look at his deathly pallor, his unseeing stare, the lack of Thomas's trademark pointless movement lines that appear around every animate object... Thomas is out for the kippers

What's he even saying? Cameron's speech was average? Yesterday it was the best thing ever. Nice to show how remotes work though, people probably aren't familiar with these newfangled 'flat screen televisions' that only the poors get The Steve Bell video is great, I always like his behind the scenes stuff, especially of PR events. If you watch the news you get the final stage-managed result, seeing it from the outside (like in the video with Cameron and the fish packing, way in the distance) is always a good thing

He's saying Cameron good at speeches, Milliband bad at speeches. Milliband has to aspire to average because he's so bad ahahahaha, also he's fat (?). Anyways, check out that thumb.

Anyways, check out that thumb. Yeah but he's not - he's saying "maybe one day you will make an average speech!" I get what he meant to say, he just hosed it up (again) Also if that's his thumb what's that stump? Where's his other finger?

Speaking of automatons, from that Clegg/May linkquote:Mrs May had said that cases involving threats to children's lives and others were dropped because of missing data. For anyone outside the UK, this is the level of discourse our Prime Minister is able to get away with. He routinely describes things his party does as 'right', because other things are 'wrong'. Often no need for a justification or explanation of why or anything. Beep boop this is right, the alternative is wrong, thank you next story. To the point where this can be the tag line - "Cameron says this is 'right'", content-free journalism baka kaba fucked around with this message at 02:13 on Oct 3, 2014 |

In all fairness to Bob, that was a good Clarkson in that even though it doesn't really look like him because I immediately went, "Oh, thats Jeremy Clarkson," even before parsing that yes he is also driving a car and the Argentine thing just happened.
