I wondered why he'd done them the color of pre-war Luckies, but it turns out that's what they're actually going to look like. When I heard 'plain packaging' I automatically assumed white or brown. Any idea why they're going with olive green?

Apparently they're going to ban slim cigarettes too, and I have no idea why.

As part of an incrementalist attempt to stop nicotine use altogether, ending a more popular category of product would make sense.
Is that actually their end goal? I thought the general consensus was that harm reduction and attacking the most dangerous ways of consuming a drug rather than the drug itself was the way forward now, and that eradication and a 'drug free world' are pipe dreams.

Nah I think he retired a while back. But they used a crusader knight he drew as part of their Brexit cover without paying him, which is always a point of contention with artists and especially as he's solidly Remain.

They probably owned the copyright for everything he drew during his tenure as political cartoonist there, but it's an expected favor to at least ask if you're going to reuse one in a new campaign or different context. They didn't legally have to, and they obviously didn't, so he's been poking fun at them on Twitter.

Yes, specifically putting (((these))) around somebody's name is supposed to indicate that they're part of the Jew World Order of rootless cosmopolitan bolshevists among alt-right and far-right shitheads.

The Most Good Cartoon. Even uses classic propaganda devices to say Corbyn has the masses behind him, even though I guess being the Graun it's supposed to be anti-Momentum.

On twitter, Rowson admitted the cartoon "mystifies even me a bit. One of those that seemed a good idea when I started..." but then got back to arguing with people who said it was sexist/pro-eugenics somehow.
Eugenics isn't an explicitly bad thing in an of itself. Involuntary euthanasia of the genetically infirm is an extreme, but I don't see the problem with having a strong social taboo against having children with your first cousins for multiple generations until the chin gene completely disappears.
