That's a pretty good Osborne, actually. Just the right amount of sneering disdain. Only needs a little bit more smugness and it'd be perfect.

This one's not bad, actually. Cameron did start out talking about austerity until 2015 or 2016, but now it's triple dipped the economy he's talking about it lasting until 2020 instead of dropping it like a sane person would. I'm honestly surprised to see the Torygraph print something so openly critical of Cameron.
I interpreted it as Cameron being smugly confident that he'll see off his challengers (Boris, Osborne and Gove) and remain PM until 2020, when there'll be another election.

Oh god, the thought of the Tories still being in power until the end of the decade fills me with dread. :smith:

Sadly, very true. My parents live in Spain, and although they do eat local food, they hang around exclusively with other Brits moaning about immigrants and how much Weetabix and Marmite costs in another country.
I had some friends who moved out to Spain to "live the dream", and came back after a few years because they hated the expat community so much. They described them as whining, racist, nosy, hypocritical backstabbers - so, Daily Mail readers, then.

Said it before, but why the gently caress does Brown always draw the early 40s, smooth-faced, slightly pot-bellied but otherwise average-build George Osborne like a Ken Clarke-style overweight bruiser?

So the Times (prop. R. Murdoch) is saying straight out that Cameron is a dead duck hedgehog and the Tory election campaign is full of poo poo? Interesting...

I always got a Giles book for Christmas as a kid, but one year got a Jak book instead. :smith:

Also :smith: : learning that Giles was actually fairly left-wing, but held his nose and worked for the Express because they paid him lots of money.

If you look at some of Bell's old stuff, like the Thatcher CYOA
Unless he did one I don't know about, the Thatcher CYOA was drawn by Hunt Emerson, not Steve Bell.
