One part most of them are relatively new at front-bench politics and haven't yet done anything truly image-defining, one part Steve Bell is a very very lefty man and has literally caricatured Corbyn as an unironic Jedi knight, which is a slightly more sympathetic treatment than Tony Blair or Neil Kinnock got. edit: have a look at these Ifs from 1996, two years after Blair became leader of the opposition http://www.belltoons.co.uk/bellworks/index.php/if/1996/3891-15-4-96_MIDDLECLAWSS http://www.belltoons.co.uk/bellworks/index.php/if/1996/3892-16-4-96_MIDDLECLAWSS http://www.belltoons.co.uk/bellworks/index.php/if/1996/3896-22-4-96_REDEFINEREDEFINE He's just figured out the Prescott-as-bulldog gag, and he's also just noticed that Blair has Maggie's mad eye, but he hasn't really started to zero in on serious caricatures of Blair and Mandelson, and the Gordy is just A.N. Person. He's just got the human faces at the moment. Trin Tragula fucked around with this message at 12:51 on Apr 15, 2016 |

MREBoy posted: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. The Stasi thing is a reference to an even more made-up attempt to imply that he was also a Stasi collaborator, based on the following line of reasoning. 1). He went on a motorbike tour of the DDR in the late 70s or early 80s with Diane Abbott 2). This would have meant the Stasi would have opened a file on him because he was a foreign tourist and politically active and very left-wing 3). This would have meant the Stasi would then likely have tried to make contact with him to see what could be arranged because why wouldn't you 4). This would have meant that he would have happily informed on the entire British population to the Stasi, it stands to reason, look, he was already selling us out to this Czech fella... Unfortunately it's complete bollocks; they did go on a motorbike holiday, to France. Which as far as I know, is not in East Germany.

Cloud Potato posted:Guardian: The title at least is an allusion to St Petersburg–Finlyandsky station, often known as Finland Station (because it was built by a Finnish company as the terminus of their line from Finland), where Lenin got off the train when returning to Russia in 1917.
