The UKIP thing was from 2010, from waht I understand Farage has been denouncing that manifesto ever since. I'd be more interested to know what their non clown-car manifesto looks like if they ever get as far as printing one, as UKIP policy is currently interpreted by the general population as all things to all Englishmen.

It is the true mark of the master cartoonist to state in plain text in a picture that the subject was wrong.

Look at this doggerel from Steve Bell using imagery, satire cultural references and implication:

The Amateur could have just written 'Thatcher was wrong' on a drawing of a gravestone and made the best political cartoon ever.

Not gravestone, though. A carton of milk.

There's more to it than that. The Vatican didn't have a policy of blocking all divorces as most people seem to think. Just a few decades earlier they had granted a divorce to Louis XII. The reason the pope refused to give Henry a divorce was because of the influence of the Habsburg Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V. The Habsburg's were hoping that they'd be able to extend their empire to England by marrying his son Philip (the one who'd later send the armada) to his, then only heir, Mary. This all went wrong for both parties obviously, but Henry was quite right to withdraw the English church in this case away from the power of Rome.

To be precise, marriages can only be rendered null and void (i.e. the marriage never existed) in certain cases like mental illnesses, infertility, etc., which is totally not a divorce. :v:

I like how with pretty much any other artist this caption would make the cartoon sympathetic towards the working class, but Mac can't draw someone below the median income without making them grotesque and so manages to avoid making a good cartoon of any sort.

No, you see, he was trying to portray them the way Conservatives perceive them. Fat-lipped minorities, overweight skinheads and single mums, and mentally ill children living together in harmony.

Oh get to gently caress

Meanwhile 42% of French people oppose printing cartoons of Mohammed but I don't see any sinister French people glaring from under a beret and twirling baguettes. I searched for 'charlie hebdo poll' to look for a general figure and yep this story comes up and yep the entire media is reporting it as 'British Muslims sympathise with terror atrocity'

There are several statements regarding this in the British poll. One of them is 'Organisations which publish images of the Prophet Mohammed deserve to be attacked' and 11% of respondents agreed with this. There's also 'I have sympathy for the motives behind attacks on Charlie Hebdo' with 27% support. Both those statements are not about whether or not cartoons should have been published or not, but about respondents' reaction to the attack. So while I agree that media as always go with sensationalism and the cartoon has a hint of islamophobia to it, there is evidently a certain level of sympathy with terrorists among British Muslims.

E: makes me wonder what a similar poll among other religious people might have revealed. I know at least one practicing Christian who would have probably agreed at least with the second statement and in the French poll Sarkozi supporters were more in favour of not publishing offensive cartoons than left-wing voters.
