On one hand, the EU's policies on GMOs and artificial ingredients are the most moronic David Icke "they will modify our chromosomes" bullshit I have ever read. On the other, those are the parts that these dickheads support, it's the bits that mildly inconvenience them that they're against.

That can't be Ed Miliband - they usually give Miliband a massive hooked nose, which apparently isn't anti-Semitic because they fully support Israel in killing all the Palestinians they want. Any example of a Miliband, by Adams:

The parents are shown as professionally dressed workers, so this isn't making GBS threads on the poor. I think the right-wing are realising how expensive childcare is, even for the Middle and Upper-Middle Classes. Plus, this is a nanny, not what most folks are trying to get - a place in a nursery which would be, like, one adult per 10 or 15 children. Mac's usually an utter piece of poo poo but this is a pretty tame cartoon.  But "gently caress off, Mac" is the learned response.Edit: the Sunday Telegraph may be the worse one of the lot. I don't think the new leader of the NI Parliament is quite that much of an undercover agent and it looks like the royal picture binned is of Queen Elizabeth II - I don't think they've heard the news.

It's making GBS threads on the care class and the idea that "if you give money to that lot, they'll drink it away" and also "working mothers leaving their kids with other people are bad women."
