Chiunque può essere Luther Blissett, semplicemente adottando il nome Luther Blissett

So... the punchline to today's cartoon is an in-joke they had in the office?

Again, Mac might have terrible politics, but at least he never just does "here is some pictures wot I drew of luciana berger doing a poo poo, send me a hundred quid".

Honestly the "out-foxed" thing reads pretty clearly, although I didn't get the Beatrix Potter riff and assumed it was simply a reference to the Tories typically being pro-hunting. I'd probably have gone with Norman Thelwell before Beatrix Potter:

You're asking Coohoolin, so the answer is invariably 'SNP strong'.

Corbyn has voiced some criticism of SNP, and frankly, aversion to nationalism in any manner is not unexpected from a socialist.

Corbyn has towed the party line 100% on the issue of Scotland. Giving him poo poo for that is hardly a Coohoolin exclusive "thing", I've talked to a lot of people up here that were excited with his election to party leadership only to be extremely disappointed to hear the very same poo poo both regional and central labor have been saying for the last few decades, which by the by is at least part of the reason they lost Scotland to the SNP.

I still don't get how someone can draw a cartoon, like Key Labour Figure Escapes Osborne's Trap But Walks Off A Cliff, and then someone else does the exact same joke, and it's not even the same day, and they still go 'yep that'll do'

I mean I can get behind the commitment to half arsing things and getting away with it, but you'd think someone would notice

Nah, it's OK, but thanks for the offer. For the most part it's just open bookmarks, view image, drag and drop onto imgur, get links, paste, add names and extra info, post. The main sticking point at the moment is the Indy's new site, which covers the cartoon in links back and forth through the gallery. Have to get the image from the page source code.
