This morning's If is about the Lib Dem conference: I usually prefer to do a weekend roundup but rest assured, I'll post straight away if there's something appropriately amazing.

Well, Adams is more attacking Ashcroft, which isn't too awful as this is all basically a tantrum by him for cash not equalling political influence. Brookes' I could almost read as defending Corbyn if I didn't have all of Brookes' previous work on the subject for context. I guess nobody can directly defend Cameron at this point (except that guy from the Spectator) so the best they can do is point at someone else and say "look, they're also a poo poo!"Cloud Potato posted:Yesterday's Independent: The joy and inner contentment that comes from a renationalised railway is comparable only to the deep bliss of romantic love, a good cartoon.

Having consensual sex with a black woman in the 1970's gets far more press ire than bumming a pig in the gob to get into a secret society.

I am glad that people are more concerned with dead pigs than actual issues. The Times cartoon is quite funny, though.

Calico Heart posted:Please tell me what world you live in where David Cameron loving a Dead Pig doesn't take precedent I do find this bit of non-news funny and enjoy pig puns and what not, but ultimately it's still non-news. Even if Dave fucks his roast every Sunday, it hardly has any bearing on Tories' policies and the country's life. If Thatcher hosed a pig, I'm sure she would be less loathed today. In collective memory facts (or myths) like that often completely overshadow everything else. Who knows, maybe in fifty years people will only remember Hitler's missing testicle. So maybe it's all a carefully planned PR stunt. Like with that American politician who tried to cover up his affair with rumours about him being gay.

Rowson's just come back from his holidays so we might see something from him this week or after the weekend. Here's a 2009 cartoon of his that he tweeted out in the interim: (After William Holman Hunt) Based on context I'm assuming that this is about the expenses scandal and Brown is throttling then-Speaker Michael Martin, who to be fair pretty comprehensively hosed up by abusing expenses, failing to declare interests and then trying to use Parliamentary privilege to block the release of any incriminating information. Cameron is high on the hog (complete with taxpayer-funded duck house) along with (maybe) Ruth Davidson, who Party Boat fucked around with this message at 11:20 on Sep 23, 2015 |

It definitely could be. But I'd surprised if it was just because nobody knew who she was in 2009: she didn't get elected to Holyrood until 2011 (& then 4 months later became Scottish leader which is some turn around) Can't work out who else it'd be though.

Can anyone help me identify the person on the far right in this Dave Brown cartoon? It's from the end of February 2011, if that helps. That's Ben Ali, Mubarak and Gaddafi respectively, but I don't think the last guy is an Arab Spring leader unless I'm forgetting someone.

wuthering posted:That's probably it! It would certainly fit the theme at least, although this cartoon was published 28th February so the timing is a little odd. That's definitely old Biffo. The February date matches up with the 2011 election when his party took a drubbing at the polls - he'd already stood down as leader so it's probably more a comment on FF getting destroyed in the election more than anything.
