I don't really understand what's going on in the Nightmare on Downing Street Thing? Is it just Director Died? Or does it reference something I don't get. They could've at least dressed up Corbyn as Freddie, you'd think.

Just like the movie, the "immigrant threat" is just fiction. AGC

The cartoon is "A Nightmare on Downing Street" not "Nightmare in Britain", the joke is clearly about Cameron being scared of the immigration crisis, not about immigrants being a threat to Britain. The only question is whether you are supposed to view Cameron as being the hero of the piece, rightfully scared, or the villain who only cares about having to deal with something that might hurt his popularity.

While I have a similar reading, I didn't bother to post it because its quite a mean point and "boy, these refugees are a real political nightmare" is still quite a bad position to hold.

Finally borrowed a laptop off a mate. Update quality should improve. Cartoon quality can never be guaranteed. Guardian:  "Steve Bell on Tony and Cherie Blair – As former PM criticises Jeremy Corbyn‘s ‘Alice in Wonderland’ politics, more emails emerge suggesting his wife lobbied Hillary Clinton on behalf of Qatari prince" After Tenniel. Telegraph:  EU referendum: Farage says immigration will be key Independent:  Times:  Mail: Mac on...The migrant crisis  'Sorry, can't stop. I'm trying to add another seven years to my life'. Mac on... NHS give aways  'Well honestly. The NHS pays for a fun packed, health giving holiday and all you can do is moan!'

That looks more like Corbyn's just woken up and is trying to work out why his kidnappers have put such a bizarre glove on his hand.

I'm not sure if the Mac is an 'anchor marriage' thing or a 'migrant crisis is happening and some middle class children are unmarriagable thing' but gently caress off Mac anyway.

Kegluneq posted:I think I must be horribly misreading the Adams one or something. It reads to me like 'sure, there's a dead child and that's very sad, but the big picture is that countless hordes of migrants are swarming our shores and they're getting here just fine'. The final outer frame does indicate that they are all fleeing warfare, but I'm finding that negative impression hard to shift. :/ If you look closely, there are several people drowning on the edges of the boats, so I think it's more 'there have been many more people dying that haven't been photographed'. Though I don't blame you for assuming the worst, given the sudden U-turn of half the papers deciding that human lives are now more important than the Migrant Menace that was apparently going to destroy us all.

And yeah, I am still sceptical. The Sun lasted about two sentences before plunging back into we-must-save-a-few-of-the-'Good-Ones', and Cameron accepting 'thousands more' (jfc) migrants is being considered a sea change (so to speak) in attitudes to migrants.

Yeah looking again on a bigger screen I think you might be right, I thought people were hanging off the boats but they're just dangling their legs and chilling. Praise mostly withdrawn!

I found this on twitter. I'm not entirely sure who published it, maybe I don't want to know. (This is about the Scottish Parliament going back into session, these are the leaders of the Scottish parties - from left to right, Willie Rennie of the Lib Dems, Kezia Dugdale of Scottish Labour, Nicola Sturgeon, and Patrick Harvie of the Greens, who does usually wear clothes, honest. Ruth Davidson of the Scottish Tories is excluded because I don't know, maybe the artist hates the Tories)
