Cloud Potato posted:Guardian Australian Sport: The joke here makes it sound like Bill Leak is the Australian Mac. Conveniently for readers looking for an easy cipher, that's pretty much exactly what he is. http://www.sbs.com.au/comedy/article/2015/12/15/lets-take-leak-all-over-australians-cartoon Here's a few of his greatest hits: ("muslims are all violent and irrational, except (mildly progressive tv host) Waleed Aly, who is effeminate and unwilling to criticise people of his faith") (this one is particularly hilarious because it turned up on the front page of a national paper with the headline "SMASH THE RICH, SAVE THE BASE" in response to a budget by our equivalent of Gordon Brown-era Labour - apparently "not renewing Howard-era tax cuts to the rich" counts as "communism" these days) and a twitter dedicated to decoding all the horrendous bullshit which turns up in the pages of some of Australia's biggest-selling newspapers... https://twitter.com/BLeakEksplayned

I may be misreading this, but I can't help but wonder if Boris's new job is a means of getting a potential challenger out of the way long enough that he embarrasses himself sufficiently that he is no longer a threat.
