all the other terrible things he's done is stuff they've already argued was perfectly acceptable back when they wanted to keep him in office to get blamed for things, so now they have to pretend that this party is totally an unforgivable offense that made them all see the light and now he needs to clear way for [insert replacement tory bastard for the next X years]

The party is the perfect scandal for the press to stick the knife in because its broadly apolitical and (so-far) none of Boris's possible replacements have been implicated.

There were a fair few personal stories when it first broke from people who missed things like funerals or seeing loved ones one last time in the hospital or missing the birth of their child because they followed the restrictions, and it is genuinely a slap in the face that he was yukking it up and getting hammered with his mates at the time.

It's far from the worst thing he's done, but unlike all the finance crimes and hate crimes and the absolute bungling of brexit at every turn, it can't be dismissed as "just politics."

The British press is a blight upon the earth and operates entirely on the financial interests of Rupert Murdoch, but this is a thing that pisses off even whatever you'd call a british centrist.

As you say, it's also a breach of DECORUM. Ghoulish policies affecting brown people or trans people or the poor can be easily ignored by comfortable status quo centrists but to breach decorum this way, especially in the UK, that'll get their goat.

Quick formatting request, Raised by Birds: could you not include a carriage return when you quote the branco captions? I'm manually copying them into the kellies nomination interface, and that gets them translated across multiple cells (and it turns out there have been a lot of Branco nominations).

I could. When Branco uploads them to his own site they include a title and caption, I've been doing the bold and new line formatting to try and keep them distinct, but just bolding the title might work as well.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
Absolutely, and that will save my aching wrists a surprising amount of toil. I've already had 10 Branco nominations so far, so it all adds up. Thank you for being such a great comicsource!

Progress: I'm at about 100 nominations, but I also realized I'd forgotten to start from the end of the posts and work forward in time from January. Hitting a certain cartoon that got about 12 separate nominations was a good reminder (since the first nominator for a cartoon in a given category is the one that gets the credit).

Clay Jones was drawing Trump holding a green cup with a purple lid for a couple of years, and recently Branco's been drawing Biden with the same cup. Is that a common design? Or did Branco pick the colours from Jones' cartoons?

Yeah exactly. I don't understand this right wing idea that burglars like breaking into houses when they know people are home. They might break into a house where someone is home and they didn't know it, but in general it's easier to burgle when you don't have to worry about being caught. So like you said, all those houses are doing is advertising "We have lots of guns you can steal!"

It's not about what the burglars want it's about that tingly feeling they get when imagining shooting people.

Why the little insert panel? I thought it was a guy on the TV at first. I hate it when he does this sort of "multi panel" comic. He could have done two linked speech bubbles here and the joke would have been fine.

Also I know this might just be a simple pun but I suspect Al is upset that the government is issuing commands at all? Does he not know what a government is?
