He's basically every original character in every fanfic ever.

Plus there's also the whole "someone saying something I disagree with followed by one or more panels of me this original character beating them up" structure which has been an angsty webcomic standard since the dawn of time.

Hey guys the usual :britain: guy is moving or lost or has finally realised the futility of a life of reading political cartoons, so here is what's been going on in UK cartoons for the past week, because I know you guys all like impenetrable levels of in-jokes and references to art for little reason other than to show off that the cartoonist has been to university.

What's happening this week, for context: Our poo poo left wing party that pretends to be on the left while just being slightly less bad than the right wing party has a vote coming up for its highest position. An elderly, socialist candidate who nobody thought would win has been running on a platform of actual left-wing policy and the internet and nerds on Something Awful have been going crazy. I'm sure none of this makes any sense to people in the USA, but try to imagine such a thing. The difference at the moment is our guy, Jeremy Corbyn, actually has a considerable chance of winning it turns out - and our old friend Tony Blair has emerged from his office in Hades this week to warn against voting for people who say what they actually believe in. Also, someone dragged up a photo of the Queen giving a Nazi salute in 1933 when she was like seven.

let me know if you want me to timg these things, I have a fairly wide resolution so my screen privilege desperately needs checking

The Guardian: (with thanks to the comment sections for some of the source links)
1
"Ministers have launched a cross-party review of the Freedom of Information Act that is likely to be viewed as an attempt to curb public access to government documents." After Roy Lichtenstein

2
"Buckingham Palace has refused to be drawn into the debate over the royal family’s private archives amid mounting pressure to release historical documents following the publication of a video showing the Queen performing a Nazi salute in the 1930s."

3
The Labour party decided to abstain on the Conservatives' welfare cuts bill because they are spineless and useless, 48 rebelled against their party and opposed the government like they were bloody well elected to do, including The People's Glorious Lord And Saviour Jeremy Corbyn. from left to right: the three other leadership candidates (who abstained) ranked roughly from least to most right-wing, Harriet Harman, acting Labour leader who had this whole great not-opposing-the-government idea, and Tory ministers George Osborne and Ian Duncan-Smith.

4
"The leadership’s failure to oppose benefit cuts is a misreading of the electoral runes and a damaging revelation that the party has nothing positive to say." After this thing (Kraft durch Freude)

5
"Former PM warns against current frontrunner Jeremy Corbyn’s campaign, saying there is no logic in party moving back to tax-and-spend policies of 1980s". That heart transplant thing is an actual quote from the speech.

6
"John Prescott, the former deputy prime minister, used an interview on Thursday to describe Jeremy Corbyn as a “great guy”." After His Master's Voice which is the mascot of a chain of music stores over here, or at least it will be until they go under because of the internet

7
In usual Martin Rowson style, explaining everything here would take a goddamn essay, but it's apparently after this thing by Walter Crane, which is a glorious thing to behold. Reference also made to the quote by 70s Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson "This Party is a moral crusade or it is nothing."

The Independent

8
Some guy called Tim Farron is elected leader of our useless third party which is in even more of a shambles than Labour, somehow. After Magritte

9

10
David Cameron really likes blowing poo poo up.

11
That's senior government figures taking the place of the royal family in 1933. Some Things Happened, Tories Still Shits.

12
That's Corbyn coming in - in the bed is Harman in bed with Chancellor George Osborne.

13

Warning: huge image ahead
14
Climbing up the hill in the shadow of the Corbyn-cano are the three bland soundbite-drones also in the running for Labour leader. There has been talk of one of them standing down so as allow for a more focused Us vs Corbyn debate. That this would make no difference whatsoever given that the leadership is by preferential voting doesn't seem to bother people, and many column inches are being filled with the spokespeople for each of the three campaigns sniping at each other. Party Unity.

The Telegraph
15

16
Seagulls are loving evil and will try to attack you and steal your chips while you're at the beach. They should be sent to warzones to die.

17
A Golf Thing Happened, one of the few times it raining in scotland was considered newsworthy I guess. Also the general meme running around the media that a left wing Labour party would mean a guaranteed win for the Tories. If this sounds sensible to you please go to the UK thread because we're all starting to agree with each other and it's getting boring.

The Daily loving Mail

19
"'Stay vigilant, men. If Osborne brings any building speculators snooping around, you know what to do.'" (Beats me. The Ministry of Defense has golf courses, apparently.)

I can't decide if it's that or mocking Europe for being stuck in the past and thinking in terms of protecting their people against the dreaded Other with big walls and castles. I have no idea.

The Secret Jew Gold idea has already been mentioned, but my favorite is that WTC7 had the plans for 9/11 itself. Because they just didn't feel like buying a shredder, I guess.

Combine this with destroying WTC7 being the whole point and you get a plan whose whole purpose is to destroy the records of the plan itself. This I'd happily believe as I have a thing for recursion.

The fact I've had to wait so long for UKPol Pig Issue cartoons may be a bigger scandal than the event itself

The story broke with the first editions of one newspaper, by then all the other papers had already had cartoons done and sent to the printers. Most of our cartoonists are just published in one paper so the schedule generally lines up with newspapers coming out. It's 10:30pm here so hopefully we'll be getting tomorrow's cartoons soon.

new Bell, on the Liberal Democrats and also the other thing



for those not following british politics, the liberal democrats were in coalition with the Conservatives up until recently, and were generally seen as putting up very little resistance to terrible Tory policy. One could almost say they let the Tories gently caress them. Also Steve Bell from the Guardian has been given a fancy press pass to specifically follow the Lib Dem conference and he'll be damned if he's going to let a little thing like pigfucking distract him too much, apparently.
