They missed a trick by not making Corbyn the old father time of year 1970-something.

Mac and the Daily Mail actually hold a blistering hatred for people richer than them (her maj excepted) but it always surprises people here because they also hold hatred for people poorer than them. When gas companies were in the news there were a few popped eyeballs here at a Mac toon of e-on board members debating whether they should jack off onto �50 notes or just gold bullion.

(why is gideon eating a facebook f?)

Facebook's coming to terms with paying tax, scrapping a weird thing where they routed profits through Ireland to take advantage of their lower corporate tax. Of course this is a PR decision on their part, rather than any enforcement by HMRC, and (possibly) a dirt cheap one to boot, so it's a thin little bone tossed to the Chancellor like a dog.

Surely by this point it's 'after about two dozen other newspaper cartoons that thought they were being clever.'

Though it's hack as gently caress nobody thinks they're being clever by mimicking Goya, the guy's not obscure.

We might get lucky and have a terrorist attack or something else to relieve the monotony but we're into the Purdah period which prevents the government from making last-minute announcements to make us all happy to be in the EU.

I'm lost.

What I know is:
- At a ENG vs RUS football game, the Russian fans charged the stands with fireworks and MMA gloves starting a riot/mob brawl
- Who everyone is. And they're shirtless and gross.

Mysterious:
- Is there some Brexit vs. Putin angle I missed? Why are Gove and Boris sheepishly drinking? Scared of Putin?
- Everyone's pockets (?) are turned out and there's money(?) on the ground, which Cameron likes (?) or he's grabbing it(?) or dropping more (?)
- or Putin has white hanky in his back pocket because he's gay and into circle jerks (unlikely)
- Marseille is on fire or experiencing a localized dust cloud/mist phenomenon

It's a rumour that Putin is pro-Brexit. He's not said anything publicly but he's opposed to the EU and there has been a little suspicion about Russian money in the Leave campaign. This has been reciprocated in a small way by Boris backing Russia over Ukraine. So it's calling the Leave guys hypocrites for supposedly being nationalistic but quite happy to kowtow to foreigners when it suits them, by having them sidling away with their backs turned. It's also showing Dave as a political lightweight who can posture all he wants but doesn't have the muscle to do anything. It's broken glass on the ground, the dust is tear-gas, haven't a clue about the pocket-lining, I guess it's some football code about being DTF.

edit: christ. The frames on panels 6 and 12 are meant to mimic the frames of the comic. What national cartooning awards are available in Britain?

Not sure that's right, if that was the point he'd colour the gutters black or even just outline the panels. They're definitely meant to resemble nets though.

nobodyssweetheart posted:

It's curious how some cartoons have Nigel Farage as the Brexit "star" and some have Boris.

Nigel before the vote; Boris after?

During the campaign, Farage was the most interesting thing going, you never knew what the racist would say next. The Breaking Point poster was all him for instance. Now that it's over, he's not got a lot to do. He's one of the few politicians who doesn't have a leadership challenge to worry about, and until he starts agitating for us to fire article 50, we won't be hearing from him. "Smug man still happy" is not news.
