CWS is mid-2000s photoshop threads for people who weren't there the first time round. And I think that's good and fine, even if my only ever thought on seeing them is "where's the goatman?"

Yes, that's definitely what took the optimism out of politics... Johnson's false promises. Particular chutzpah coming from that loving pair.

That's Evgeny Lebedev, aka evil Rylan. Supposed Putin plant who runs massive social events.

Controversial because (A) when Russia was discovered to be bad by the political centre, a bunch of celebs who were being loud about it were pictured leaving his big fancy parties; (B) appointed to the house of Lords, possibly because of: allegedly (C) has a bunch of kompromat on (at the time) foreign secretary Boris Johnson, after Johnson slipped his MI5 handlers at one of Lebedev's Italian parties, parties where there were a lot of escorts, coke and prostitutes doing the rounds.

I keep getting missed calls during work from a London number that the google says is Labour membership relations. I think they've finally noticed I stopped paying.

Maybe I should start liking more tweets calling for tactical voting, proportional representation, ending the drug war, Wes Streeting to be deported to Eritrea, etc.

Embed going away will be good for my consumption of Twitter (IE: Entirely through these forums) as it'll force people to screenshot tweets before they're deleted

You have to admire the sheer Bolshevik energy of the Labour Right: you're either with them and 100% with the program, or you're a problem to be dealt with.

Pity the Labour Left are so bloody nice, could have done with some of that attitude 2015-2019.

I wonder if starmer has ever done anything at all creative or practical, I can't imagine him doing it. He seems like he would fill out a form and stand there holding it just waiting for the result to happen.

Look at this heel, I'm sure I've met this type many a time at uni. Probably the singer in a poo poo post-punk band but put aside all those childish things post-graduation in favour of locking up black kids.

I fear like a lot of political cartoons its kinda developed its own internal logic and references to the point that most of the time while i get the general gist i feel like i don't understand half of it. Like when you check in on martin rowson and you gotta decode whats even being said because every person depicted is some exagerated pig/snake and half the panel is taken up by a fur lined teacup with eyes

Sometimes cws does just come out with a very striking and clear message, but they cant all be winners. It can be like that poo poo express cartoonist that did a weres wally with animals in every strip for a while too, like you're looking past the nude boris johnson to find the hidden ross kemp.

Yeah that's the guy.
Can't remember the name of the film though. The only bit of it I ever saw is when they put it to the muppets theme. I'll see if I can find it it's funny. He looks like a muppet.

There's this absolutely loving massive bastard they had on display in the Scottish national museum when I was there some years ago. I think they said it was probably ceremonial because I don't see how you could use it as a weapon.

That sword is completely unusable but ngl that's a cool idea for a handguard. Apart from clearly being dangerous to your hands and therefore impractical.
