Today I discovered that BoB used to do cartoons for the Morning Star. Y'know, the paper that used be owned by the Communist Party of Great Britain, & that still adheres to the line of the Communist Party of Britain.

Can't quite wrap my head around it.

Buzzfeed? Sucker. I go directly to Twitter for my well considered views on current affairs.

(Seriously though, it was just a joke about how most politoons are bad. Though I certainly won't cry for the death of the press either because of how much harm has been done by them.)

I know I shouldn't be surprised at this point but that last Bob Cartoon is an amazing example of twisting anything at all into an incoherent anti-corbin statement. You can't scrap trident you fool, those nukes protect the NHS from cyber crimes!

Aside from anything else, it's not even Labour Party policy to not replace Trident. But BoB is literally the worst so of course he misrepresents that.

Green shouldn't have been accessing content like that on a work computer, but the whole thing with the police leaking information from an almost decade old investigation is dubious as hell, and should rightfully be criticised.

Broadly speaking you are right and it all seems a but dodgy but on the other hand the people of this country need the government to collapse ASAP to get a competent and compassionate team in place at Downing Street yesterday.

May losing both her close ally Green and the idiot Brexit Minister Davis would be a huge blow. Especially as it'd mean Davis on the backbenches, being an obstructionist like other Brexit fanatics.

Kind of odd that "Stasi" was used, as that was the East German secret police guys. I'm a USAer so I have no idea if Corbyn has/had any E. German connections, or it could be Mac is stuck in time somewhere prior to Jan 1992.

I don't really understand how it happened but suddenly they've moved from the Czechs to the Stasi as the handlers of Corbyn. Despite the people in charge of the Stasi archive saying it's bollocks.

I don't understand the Matt one.

Even considering his usual standards of 'acceptability'... what's the joke? Seriously, I don't get it.

It's very much "a thing happened". A beluga whale was spotted in the Thames a couple days ago & I think it might still be there. The "joke" is the idea the whale came so far from its normal waters to check up on the status of Chequers, which everyone knows is a shambles & basically a zombie.

It's poo poo and Matt is poo poo and gets paid £650k a year and I'm glad his art is being posted in this thread to make it harder to forget how much of a hack he is.

Are Boy Scouts (or their equivalent) as super-religious as the ones here in the States?
I have vague memories of having some prayer or something when I was a Cub Scout (we're talking 25 years ago so my memory is faint) but considering our teacher in P5 and 6 made us do the Lord's prayer every morning it didn't seem off putting to this unbeliever.

But this decade they've formalised it to be fully open to non-believers.

It's a pity we won't see the return of Egg-mouth Clegg since the old, not-ginger bastard has "retired" from frontline politics. Was Thomas responsible for the Sheik of Wales? In my mind's eye it was drawn in his style.

Yes, he was definitely a Sheik of Wales guy. He's definitely less racist than Mac, although few people are more racist than that old fart.
