Why is Trump debating Jeremy Paxman? edit: oh gently caress a page snipe, do I have to do a thing in this thread? Ok I can't draw, so i'll do an imagination cartoon - picture this: Boris Johnson, and he's dangling from strings like a puppet, and we can see who is controlling him, and it's Jean Claude Junker and Angela Merkle - but it's ok, because Nigel Farage is holding a big pair of scissors and he's riding a gleaming white steed which has a union jack saddle and you can see his socks too which are also union jacks. But oh no! You think he's coming to cut the string so Boris will be free, but actually he plunges the scissors into his back. It's about that tweet from today you see, where Nigel said that Boris should keep his promises when he signs international treaties DaWolfey fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Oct 1, 2020 |

It sounds like it needs at least two panels. It might be too complicated for some readers

Here's the plan, you replace Boris with the British Isles and cut the second panel entirely, then we publish it with your name on it.

It supports their "reopen everything" position. They're attacking Boris for being insufficiently old-Boris. His time in hospital obviously ruined his pristine and perfect conservative mind.

Yeah, Blower is bashing johnson for daring to restrict anything anywhere rather than his being a massive tory, same as Bob. if the economy is bad it's only because boris has neglected to let a deadly virus overrun the entire population in the name of number go up, this is his only flaw.

Yeah, but by putting 'Conservatives' front and centre it's associating economic damage with the tory party, normally Blower (and Bob) would only dare to jump hyenalike on an already unpopular tory and leave it at that.

It is, but Blower could have changed it to something 'humourous' like 'Boris Bluster' or something. Leaving it as is thematically ties 'Conservatives' to 'economic devastation'. I'm sure he'll be back on his bullshit tomorrow but it's an unusual choice.

Might be a dig at them for letting him. Inspiring the backbenchers to react with a "not ALL conservatives!" type of thing.
