Interesting to see the differing takes on identical cartoons there.

Telegraph :100% constitutional
Times: 100% disastrous
Indy: 100% authoritarian

Can't tell if Mac is being ironic. Gonna assume not.

I can't see most of the images in this thread or other threads, no matter what machine I'm posting from.

Anybody know what esoteric part of the SA forums I've hosed up?

They are mostly hosted on imgur.com, is that blocked for you for some reason?

With a new year around the corner, what are people's thoughts about banishing Mac from the thread? It feels like they are getting ever worse, they are never funny and make everyone angry. Thread would be better off without them IMO.

There was a recent BBC article about exactly this. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-41724321

Adams clearly making a bold and visceral statement about systemic tax evasion on the Isle of man.. a good cartoon?

Army is diversifying its recruitment campaign by not 100% targeting white working class straight men, therefore army of soft gays or something.

Funnily enough, the leather biker stereotype in the Village People originally came from the postwar gay leather scene, which was heavily brought about from gay WWII veterans returning home, so in conclusion gently caress off, Brooke.

Recognition of the contribution homosexuals have made to the army over the last 70 years despite ongoing discrimination via a nod to the postwar gay leather scene... A good Brooke?

Arguing against press regulation is generally a good thing though, the UK has some of the most restrictive press laws already.

Adams really is the worst. It's just 'labour bad' every day regardless of what is going on in the news.

PS thanks Cloud Potato.

PPS are we going to have a new thread title for 2019?

Matt's last 3 have all been vaguely anti brexit, a change of mind?

Is Juncker known to be a drunk?
So many of the cartoons show him with a bottle of wine or inebriated.
Or is that just because he's ~European~?

Blower really is poo poo eh? I mean the whole point of political cartoons is to satirise and critique our leaders but blower is straight up propaganda.

I took it as a commentary about how both main parties are promising huge amounts of investment without really explaining how they'd pay for it. ie 'they're both as bad as each other'. This is Adams though so maybe I missed something...

I just thought the morricone play on the old Western trope of 'this town ain't big enough for the two of us' and social distancing was quite clever.

Is Paul for or against a return to sit-down family meals around the table with an open fire and candles? I can't tell what stage of the brain smoothing his conservatism is at now.

Not sure, probably both given the quinoa market sign on the other side.

The cat breaking the glass in that cartoon is surely an artistic peak for cartoons in general.
