While i'd like to think people had finally got fed up of the Tories and the hellish future they want us to experience (literally turning the class system into homeowner/renter) it's more likely that he's just seen as ineffective at executing his right ring agenda. Lots of really charming people angry that we're still in the EU, still have human rights and still aren't lynching the paedoislamic gypsie hordes. It's why the Tories consider defection to UKIP a bigger danger than Labour. Future historians of Britain will name this period the "Era of mass English prickery and general hysteria".

Hah, "Always stays left". Adams has also cocked up this rollercoaster graph joke, in a really dumb way. Quality is ever increasing, while money fluctuates but generally rises. It wouldn't be hard to actually make that joke work, flip the graph's line horizontally and then swap the labels on each axis, and you'd have a BBC perpetually funded by more and more money, which creates varying but generally decreasing quality work. But hey, who needs to think about what they actually get paid to draw?
