Mac is going to be completely insufferable from now until about June, whatever the result. And after, but at least with the occasional bout of charm.

I'm kind of amazed/appalled that he's being so nakedly partisan. Perhaps he just doesn't have the imagination to be otherwise. Also no one commented on my Jak post.

I always got a Giles book for Christmas as a kid, but one year got a Jak book instead. Also : learning that Giles was actually fairly left-wing, but held his nose and worked for the Express because they paid him lots of money.

Maybe we were politely ignoring your suspicious depth of Jak knowledge! Don't forget Mac is an old man who does 'comedy' for the right-wing trash paper. If he doesn't go full UKIP he'll at least be shouting at Labour for being marginally less reactionary than the Tories. I'm just looking forward to him getting more and more bitter and vicious as Labour gain ground

Am I being overly sensitive, or is a cartoon where the punchline is "haha, I bet this guy I don't like suffers from mental illness" super lovely? Especially given how vicious the rumours about Gordon Brown were.

Don't really follow UK politics besides reading these cartoons, but wouldn't a bunch of fat cats freaking out over the relatively milquetoast Milliband only help give him some legitimacy with the not-stinking-rich demographic? I don't know the mood of the man in the street in Britain but I would assume they wouldn't be moved favorably by the grousing of the wealthy.

Nation of shopkeepers and other petty bourgeoisie, remember. The whole 'job-creator' schtick has a lot of traction here as well. Mark Steel's response to the letter is pretty good.

My only knowledge of Poldark is other people talking about it. But there have been quite a few. Oh, right, it's not the smuggler one, it's the other one.
