Maybe we should just change this to the Rowson Thread (Occasionally Guest Starring Steve Bell). I swear the rest of them are actively getting worse. It's depressing.

The Prime Minister is ethereal, a ghost. The election has slain her, metaphorically; her authority is now as thin and insubstantial as smoke. Here she's even lost her human form, and is barely recognisable. Also, Rowson did a "the is a spectre haunting Europe" joke a couple of weeks back:  The imagery has continued ever since. On the floor, we see a basket of "austerity strait jackets"- discarded, presumably, by the now naked bo/gozza duo. Instead, they have adopted little Maoist caps the likes of that which is usually seen adorning Corbyn:  Are we to assume that these two are now staunch socialists, brave men of the people? They stand in the centre, holding a cornucopia or horn of plenty:  It contains top hats filled with gold coins, perhaps representing the wealth of the rich? Beneath the pair lie a doctor (nurse?), policeman and a fireman; the emergency services, stricken. Jaws slack and gimlet eyes staring into heaven, they appear close to death, if not dead already. Boris saws away at the horn, apparently intending to feed these poor unfortunates from the bounty of the horn- but not, note, from the open end, stuffed and overflowing with wealth; from the smallest possible part. Even as he does this, Boris tramples his patients, in a pose not unreminiscent of the incubus in The Nightmare:  Boris and Gove are turned towards the viewer, as if seeking approval. (Read: Boris and Gove are trying to play to the masses by discarding austerity, but are still Tories, and are unlikely to offer anything substantive relief to those suffering its effects.)

Cerebral Bore posted:What's with the Torygraph and inadvertently making Corbyn look cool as gently caress? They need to make him look like a genuine threat. So they have to present him as powerful and dangerous. Angepain posted:seriously how could anybody who's remotely aware of scottish politics as of the past ten years or so possibly think destroying the scottish labour party and deposing its leader was a bad thing. even if that had actually happened, that is She was for sure for def not pushed, my ~*~*~contacts~*~*~ say. Everyone's actually kind of pissed that she left so suddenly.

Cloud Potato posted:Guardian: This one stumped me, I have to say. The actual wikipedia page on the Hunt painting was helpful: quote:In the Royal Academy exhibition catalogue Hunt wrote that "the scene was painted at Oosdoom, on the margin of the salt-encrusted shallows of the Dead Sea. The mountains beyond are those of Edom." He painted most of the work on location in 1854, but completed the work in London in the following year, adding some touches in 1856 before it was exhibited at the academy in that year. Though Rowson doesn't seem to be identifying Corbyn with the scapegoat, exactly. Allied with, perhaps, placed in the same position, but the goat remains separate- identified with the Jewish community? Provocative, at any rate.
