Fearless posted:Is the trend of some artists to depicting the UK PM as a gross looking red thing a reference to anything other than ruddy cheeks? Bell's version was an evolution from depicting him first as a jellyfish (IIRC it was over something Cameron said about political transparency) and later becoming condom stretched over a dead fish head, and then finally a pink condom. I vaguely remember something about Bell finding his rubbery flushed skin androgynous or something too. Rowson's is Cameron dressed as Little Lord Fauntleroy. The rest are because Cameron is a red-faced rubbery looking bastard, mostly.

Cliff Racer posted:Not really sure how you turn what Saudi Arabia does into a pox on the British government though. It's more that the government has turned a blind eye to Saudi Arabian human rights abuses in exchange for arms deals for quite some time. Arms which have very likely been used in the continuing suppression of the general populus, in addition to just ignoring flagrant human rights abuses. Also because the former ambassador tried to justify the execution of 47 people: quote:Sir John Jenkins said: “Do I think the sentences are justified? Certainly the people accused of membership of [al-Qaida], particularly given what has happened over the past 18 months with these attacks by Islamic State inside the kingdom, I can understand why the Saudis reacted in the way they did.” Oh well, these notorious human rights abusers executed far more people than our favoured notorious human rights abusers have, oh I guess that's alright then.

It might evolve along the way, or he might drop it. It took a while for him with Blair (IIRC, he started off as Bambi, then gained Bell's Thatcher gaze), and Cameron.

Found this trying to look for May's latest trainwreck interview with Andrew Marr: The Sun  They apparently watched an interview from a parallel dimension. "Theresa May was newly improved and robust during her Andrew Marr grilling — now she must wake up and take on the threat of Jeremy Corbyn and the EU The Prime Minister transformed into a feisty and confident leader during her appearance on The Andrew Marr Show"
