Cloud Potato posted:Telegraph: The first dream came to George Osborne on February 2 - more than a month before FUCKUP picked up the vibrations. He was, as usual with him, aware that he was dreaming, and the vision of a gigantic pyramid which seemed to walk or lumber about meant nothing and quickly vanished. Now he seemed to be looking at an enlargement of the UK economy; it was so detailed that he began searching it for the fiscal irregularities at every 23rd quarter. To his surprise, they were missing; instead, there were other irregularities at each 17th quarter. "What the debt …?" he asked - and the pyramid returned seeming to speak and saying, "Yes, the debt." He jolted awake, with a new concept, the 2015 Budget, coming into consciousness, and began jotting in his bedside pad.

Going by the spikey hair on the right-most face, it's May and Hammon and the message is "Top Gear is poo poo."

Hammond is too little to be a bully (Mexican rant notwithstanding) and I think May may genuinely be too boring to ever be malicious. His Twitter feed is certainly getting rather maudlin.

The Salmond in the Jennings cartoon is awful, I thought it was Cyril Smith at first and some more had come out about Paedogeddon.

I find the endless "Ed Miliband is Wallace" cartoons from the Times really annoying; am I the only one? They hardly ever seem to have a point beyond "Ed Miliband looks silly; you can tell he does because we've drawn him like a plasticine man in this otherwise unremarkable situation", and there are about ten thousand of them.
