Ersatz posted:In this instance we're meant to sympathize with the Guardian reader - the cartoon is about petty judgments people make regarding each other's lives, based on trivial indications like purchasing habits, that sustain a false sense of superiority. He's definitely not saying "muesli and The Guardian, lol". Hmm petty judgements based on purchasing habits you say!  I'm not really being fair, I was just googling around and a lot of his non-political stuff is great too. It's just the guardian stuff lately seems to be hitting a lot of milquetoast 'middle class bugbears' notes Also since there's no Express at the weekends let's all enjoy some classic Thomas

Has he switched sides after someone looked disdainfully at his trolley in Waitrose? I really think he should stick to the vaguely political stuff, his style is much better when it's covering something with teeth The guardian hates and actively mocks it's own readership - if you're not solely reading it for the Bell/Rowson cartoons, the crossword and the occasional funny Charlie Brooker piece it's an exercise in self-abuse full of self-hating filler garbage and clickbait op-eds by pond scum like kelvin mackenzie.

How the gently caress are people not able to see that Collins is using self-deprecating humour? Is anyone in this thread actually English?

Cloud Potato posted:Express: Of course, they had bigger problems, now - how would they grow food without sunlight? How would they stay warm? Temperatures were already 40 below and plunging by the hour. But, like Dave and the newspaper, unable to understand the calamity that had befallen them, the government sought relief in the old certainties. Slagging off the Europeans might bring some brief comfort, but it wouldn't bring the sun back. Dave's hands begin to shake. He walks over to the mantlepiece, hoping that one of the photos he keeps there could steady his nerves. But some fucker had built the fireplace ten feet tall. Outside, the wind howls.

Zephro posted:It's been days now, and still the endless night shows no sign of ending. Dave tries to read the papers, hoping to find comfort in the familiar ritual, but the unnatural gloom outside the windows cannot be ignored. For some, the strain is too much. A pudgy-faced man in a pinstripe suit cracks visibly, sweeping his red box off the table, jabbing a finger and making some incoherent, irrelevant remark about the EU. It's grim. They've already resorted to burning bongo drums to keep warm.
