I'm wondering where that's meant to be in the second panel?

I got confused for a moment there, too, but apparently it does snow in the Middle East.

To the surprise of nobody, everyone in Mac's idea of heaven is white.

Because of all the PC policing he avoids drawing any black people not to be called racist again.

There's still one bearded man in a turban, though.

The bleeding boy seems a little like Cameron, but frankly who knows with political cartoonists. The fact he's bleeding suggests some reference, though.

I've spent five minutes trying to decipher what the landmarks are supposed to spell. First I looked at the silhouettes, then at the negative space, but to no avail. Then I thought that maybe they are supposed to be a graph of Boris's approval rating, but it's not that either, clearly.

I like that Adams had to obscure all the options because he doesn't actually know anything about gender identity and couldn't be bothered to let a little fact-finding get in the way of an easy idea he could knock out before lunch.

Russia is still Communist right? Haven't checked on them in the last thirty years, but pretty sure heard from someone that Russia was bad, so it makes sense that they are still Communist. *nods and draws a Corbyn*

Except the revolutionary flag was just solid red. This is clearly a Soviet flag, and depending on the position of the hammer and sickle, and the star, it's either Lenin's flag, Stalin's flag, or Krushchev's flag.

E: Actually, it looks like it's missing the star altogether. This is... a false flag.

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.

That is the joke, I reckon.
