Dimitri the Russian oligarch sits on his boat and worries that the left-wing Greek government are going to crack down on his tax avoidance, while the Greek peoples are represented by a qualified accountant who lost her job due to the financial crash, and is now working as a maid just to put food on the table. A good cartoon.

Dimitri seems to be reading the sports section With Adams it's hard to tell if he's actually making a critical political point about what's happening to Greece, or if he's just rummaging through the collection of Greek tropes and using the players that fit baka kaba fucked around with this message at 01:52 on Jul 14, 2015 |

Johnny boy, as an aspirational wealth creator, inherited not only his father's title and vast wealth, but also his non dom tax code. This despite the fact that he is effectively living in the UK. As wiki, via private eye puts it: quote:He has non-domicile tax status and owns his media businesses through a complex structure of offshore holdings and trusts which entail him paying almost no UK tax on his income, investments or wealth.

Mac is such a fucker. He should release an illustrated guide to the peoples of the world, as drawn by some dickhead who's never left the home counties - he's clearly based the greeks off some tax exile he knows that lives out there, which is sort of charming in its own fuckwitted way.

You can hunt deer with a shotgun using a slug. Can as in it would work and would give you a clean kill. In the UK you're supposed to use an expanding rifle round of at least .240 calibre though.

Crosspost from the other thread - you're getting the full post this time instead of just the comics because a) 1066 and All That and b) Tony Hancock. If... 8-11 June     If... 15-18 June     June of course saw the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta. For those who are unfamiliar with the Magna Carta (either due to sleeping through GCSE history or being otherwise impaired by being Not British) we'll turn to the standard text, 1066 And All That. quote:Magna Charter Wor Dave used this momentous occasion to further push the notion that Human Rights are bad, but British rights are good. The last couple of strips contain a few If... regulars: The Penguins immigrated from Argentina during the Falklands war and usually stand in for the British underclass. John the Monkey is a bit of a chancer and wheeler-dealer who usually represents some official function or other as needed by the strip - his existence completely outside the law here is a little against character. Chief Constable Gerald "Badger" Courage (with the face that looks like a sideways bum) of course represents the humble British copper in all his nobility and human fallibility - here's an early appearance from John and Courage back in the 80s:  And lest we forget: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNZosqiJISs

It's time for The Week In Cartoons hooray hooray, come back Cloud Potato we love you uhhh let me know if you want me to timg these things, I have a fairly wide resolution so my screen privilege desperately needs checking The Guardian: (with thanks to the comment sections for some of the source links) Saturday 18:  Ministers have launched a cross-party review of the Freedom of Information Act that is likely to be viewed as an attempt to curb public access to government documents. After Roy Lichtenstein Monday 20:  Buckingham Palace has refused to be drawn into the debate over the royal family’s private archives amid mounting pressure to release historical documents following the publication of a video showing the Queen performing a Nazi salute in the 1930s. Tuesday 21:  48 Labour MPs defy the party whip and vote against the welfare bill at its second reading. Wed 22:  The leadership’s failure to oppose benefit cuts is a misreading of the electoral runes and a damaging revelation that the party has nothing positive to say. After this thing (Kraft durch Freude) Thu 23:  Former PM warns against current frontrunner Jeremy Corbyn’s campaign, saying there is no logic in party moving back to tax-and-spend policies of 1980s Fri 24:  John Prescott, the former deputy prime minister, used an interview on Thursday to describe Jeremy Corbyn as a “great guy”. His Master's Voice Sat 25: (woah cartoons from the future that's right internet we have that power)  Labour is conducting a “startlingly retro” leadership campaign and is at risk of going back to the politics of the 1950s, Yvette Cooper has told the Guardian. After this thing by Walter Crane, which is a glorious thing to behold The Independent Sat 18:  Tim Farron elected leader of the liberal democrats. After Magritte Sun 19:  Mon 20:  Tue 21:  Wed 22:  Thu 23:  Fri 24: (warning: huge)  (cut off at the bottom but there's nothing missed)The Telegraph Sat 18:  Mon 20:   A Golf Thing Happened, one of the few times it raining in scotland was considered newsworthy I guess The Daily loving Mail Tue 21:  Wed 22:  "'Stay vigilant, men. If Osborne brings any building speculators snooping around, you know what to do.'" (Apparently Osborne is planning to sell of MoD golf courses? The MoD has golf courses?) Thu 23:  Fri 24:
