There is an old saying:

Those who can, do.
Those who cannot, teach.
Those who cannot teach, train teachers.
And those who cannot train teachers, administrate.

I don't believe there is anyone in any position in any government in the world who is actually qualified for the job, Chancellor/Secretary of the Treasury least of all. Anyone qualified to run a national economy is in the private sector making tens of millions a year.

Maggie is that you? Go back to bed dearie.

It seems that if you want UK cartoons, you must choose between lameness (that guy), Nazism (mac), and pure filthy horror (Bell/Riddell/Scarfe etc.)

He's not really a political cartoonist, is he? Not reliably. Maybe you could post the ones where he peripherally mentions something political and leave out the ones where he is having an existential conversation with a bird or something.

Why are you getting so mad at Stephen Collins, SedanChair? It's a quirky Saturday morning stable that brings a smile once a week in between the mass news of depression.

If you had wanted to avoid depression, maybe you should have used your time in the bardo to negotiate being born somewhere other than the United Kingdom. Also I've seen enough criticism of perfectly well-drafted Corgis that I'd like to spread the criticism around a bit.

It's totally William Hague. It's such a competent William Hague that for the life of me I cannot understand why he draws Cameron as a cross between the Duke of Windsor and Prince Harry.

I nearly pointed out the niglet thing, but I knew nobody could handle it. It was the same when Bell drew Wendi Deng as an inscrutable Asian swordswoman with buck teeth.

No, that was actually kinda racist, so that's a completely different thing. This is more like the charges of anti-semitism.

Yeah, Bell didn't mean anything by this one, I meant that the similarity is posters unwilling to consider the possibility that bearded Marxist saint Steve Bell ever did a bad thing.

So nothing is wrong about this cartoon, but we should take a moment to think about how much of a poo poo Bell is just apropos of nothing? Weird. I guess I'll start: his views on matters outside the UK are often simplistic and liberal.

The mugs on his website are not competitively priced!

Seriously though, if you see the word "niglet" the gears ought to start turning for a few seconds, at least. "Nige" doesn't sound like "Nig" for example. But my critical process absolved him in this case :)

Y-you guys understand that Prince Harry is not on our radar at all, right?

Like, he is not on the radar of serious people. He is not on the radar of celebrity chasers. He is not the subject of any viral videos. We are NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO HIM. For some reason the assertion that Prince Harry is interesting to us is the most offensive thing I've read in this thread.

In fairness, a look of perplexed shock is really the only expression he can draw other than those belonging to labored caricatures of specific people. And, apparently, vengeful gay militancy.

It's really typical that you would cite a lack of competition between cartoon sources as a reason to continue posting his drivel. Cartoons are to be enjoyed by everyone, they are a natural monopoly and there's no reason to post any cartoons other than Steve Bells.

You thought you could have the acerbity of British satire without the cloying, suffocating British inanity that fuels it? Suffer to know it's real.

In fairness, the crimes were in some cases committed decades ago; most people won't remember the names of the victims. There's not really enough room on the slab for both the names and the information, and the image wouldn't work without a lot of slabs, so I don't see how Mac could have done it any other way.

He could have shot himself.
