That's from Collins' other gig at Prospect Magazine (who they?). He had a great one there about Milliband's field of disinterest, but I can't be bothered to find it, so have this weird one about Jeremy Hunt He's also got a book coming out soonish, so watch out for that. e:"collin's" Mr. Squishy fucked around with this message at 01:34 on Dec 15, 2012 |

Along with talking about how he still wants to cut benefits for the wealthy, Clegg's been saying that the country should be thankful to the lib dems for all the heinous poo poo they stopped the conservatives from doing. This claim is ridiculed as Cameron's depicted as a mad axe-wielding bastard with Clegg a useless prophylaxis failing to stop the cuts.

Private Eye calls them the Daily Sexpress, because it's a tabloid, or sometimes the Daily Diana, because they (or more particularly, their proprietor) are still loving obsessed.Noreaus posted:I hate to be the one on this side of this, but it's really weird seeing these "Hurr maybe they'll turn up in cardinals's outfits" cartoons. I don't doubt they are anything other than "A Thing Happened", but it's...odd. Because if it were somebody allowed to wear a veil or some such, the cartoons would be people turning up wearing a burqa or some such, and they would be terrible cartoons. On the surface they'd both be dumb, goofy jokes. It's the context of widespread anxieties about Islam, with the burqa in particular being viewed as a sign of radical Islam, that gives your hypothetical cartoon its bitter taste. Christians don't face anything analogous, so it's just a dumb, goofy joke.

It's tying in to the recent news story about horse and pig being found in supermarket beef burgers, and some lingering conceptions of the EU trying to interfere with the Great British Sausage. e: possibly also the politics of compromise being likened to ground meat to boot.

Scarfe of the week I couldn't read the sign on the horse, so I squinted really hard and realized it's in french. So now I can't read it and my eyes hurt. Zephro posted:Is the Indy one meant to be a half-hearted League of Gentlemen reference or am I reading too much into it? I can see what you mean, but it could go either way. It doesn't really make much sense and he's pretty good at attributing references.

Vince Cable's still rumbling on in the background. He's a pretty hard man to fire, as he'd apparently take half the party with him (he once described his quitting as "the nuclear option"). Last time I heard of him doing anything as a business secretary was him shrugging off the more-generous Olympics opening hours drifting into permanency, despite his avowed insistence that they would be a temporary measure.

Jedit posted:Cameron isn't as out of touch as this cartoonist, who has only a passing acquaintance with reality. The reason bankers get most of their money as non-performance related bonuses is because tax on bonuses is easier to avoid. If such bonuses were limited, do you think Bankers would just leave the money on the table? I guess the point of the cartoon is kill all bankers.

When was the last time you actually saw someone in a tweed suit? Maybe a secret underground of such sartorial throwbacks constitutes the Express's readership. Anyway, at a guess, I'd say it's a Red Kite in silhouette.

[quote="Fluo" post="413314831"] What other challengers approach? There's the Bojo balloon, Gove with a lollypop, Murdoch with Farage as a headband, but who's the skinny man with the OBR pillow, or the gnome? Also, the bed's made of Clegg and Osbourne (who's awake to the threats) is using Danny Alexander as a pillow. Indy:  I don't like this one. Fixating on shoes as a symbol for May is a bit misogynist.
