    March? Labour will hang on as long as they can, damaging the country in the process, probably until June.

    Lord Fondlebum of Boy says:

    Not a bad likeness of Nicholas Parsons, or is it Piers Morgan? – but apart from that, fails on every level. It needs a headline to explain the “joke” and a speech bubble as well, and the “joke” itself – heir / hare, how hilarious – is excruciatingly ass-wiping unfunny.

    I hope Guido doesn’t pay for the shit he runs from these two useless witless ladies’ front bottoms. They are truly shite.

    He’s not on his own, much more of Brown’s antics and we’ll all be ‘Doolally’!

    Let’s hope the twat believes the polls and goes for an early election.

      Prince William is not up for election.

      Gordon Brown is, but he’s not featured in that crappy cartoon.

    He looks a bit like a thin Denis Healey….

      albacore says:

      I immediately thought “Healey”, now a nonagenarian baron, too.
      Former Communist Party member, founder member of the Bilderberg Group, lifelong pal of “political rival” Heath the great betrayer, minister in the Wilson government that devalued the pound sterling, caller-in seven years later, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, of the IMF, etc, etc.
      Is the cartoon supposed to represent Cameron? More dead sheep than March hare, judging by the Tories’ record as official Opposition; but equally heir to Healey if the sheeple are silly Billy enough to vote in yet another Lib/Lab/Con trick globalist.

    Tapestry says:

    Hares aren’t mad in March. They’re mating. They only look mad as they tear around the place, trying to impress potential mates.

    Labour election strategists don’t agree.

    They claim current Conservative lead is about 8%, and that with 5% coming back from Lib Dem and 3% from UKIP, they can still win outright, sod the Hung Parliament narrative.

    The only way that could work is if they get access to the overnight ballot boxes.

    Which they will have if ”Election Night” is to be cancelled.

      Beezley says:

      Moreover, hares don’t have tails like that. Or pink bellies. Nor do they sit up and beg. In fact they are fine animals, one of the traditional beasts of the English wildwood, and should not be traduced like this — implying that they have learning difficulties, when they can and do often outwit the lurchers and greyhounds of the cruel and loathsome shits who think it fun to tear them to pieces; but worse than said implication is to associate them with a politician of any stripe whatever.

      FFS.

    Tracy Imam says:

    Oh! I get it now. Rich and Mark are making an observation on the ineffectualness of the post modern political cartoonists, as compared to the cutting edge of past masters like Lancaster and Giles. The barely recognisable features of the subject, lead the viewer to reflect on the shallowness of our modern democratic representatives, when put up against the great characters in the history of Parliament. Only sketching Gods could lend such subtlety to the medium of satire, whilst also exposing the moronic appreciation of the audience, who are unable to pick the majesty apparent in the mock crudity of the artform.
    Or, it’s just shite.

        Now now, Andy, don’t you know it’s bad form to criticize another fellow’s illiteracy on t’net?

        P.S. One exclamation mark will ever suffice. Any more and people will think you’re a twat.

    Has Campo dyed his hare (geddit?) ginger? Is he going for (yet) another minority vote? He should stop trying to please everyone and come up with some policies that court the Tories.

    EUphobe says:

    It’s clear from the polls that tree hugging, cast iron Dave has failed to seal the deal. Though to be fair he has helped to increase UKIP support. Time for a change of leader before March with a cast iron guarantee of an EU in-or-out referendum before the end of 2010.

    Fees Office Clerk says:

    “Gordon Brown is to set out new plans to tackle roadside bombs in Afghanistan”

    He’s going to drop his flabby fat body onto to each one before they detonate!

      Grumpy Old Man says:

      My God. After failing dismally as an economic genius and watching his environmental strategy turning into rat droppings minute-by-minute, he’s now going to turn his brilliant mind to military activities? Truly, the British must have done something unmentionable to be afflicted by such a man.

    BBC Reporter says:

    Following yesterdays vicious attack, Silvio Berlusconi is expected to pick up some sympathy support to boost his flagging personal ratings.
    With an election looming in Britain it is reported that Labour strategists are arranging a Silvio ‘event’ to be staged in early March. It is believed that Gordon Brown will be ‘attacked’ in a similar manner by a person dressed up in an Eton School uniform. The ‘assailant’ has yet to be chosen, but it can be revealed that an X-Factor series of auditions will be rolled out in January, where several million people are expected to step forward . A panel of judges led by John Prescott will pick the lucky winner.

    City of Vice says:

    O/T – I listened with increasing incredulity to some guy from the new ‘Independent Safeguarding Authority’ quango on Today BBC R4 explaining how these chumps – Ball’s underlings – can set about ruining people’s lives using gossip and hearsay – not previous convictions – as the basis for their potentially life destroying deliberations, investigations and ‘decisions’. No pesky courts or juries here.

    Even Luvvie Jim Naughtie, who was doing the interview, sounded taken aback.

    Having seen politicians and their mates in action close up, particularly of the sleazy Labour kind, we all have much to fear. This is the route to New Labour’s Stasi state. A file will be set up for you if you misbehave.

    Note to Dave. Scrap this crap when you get in.

      genghiz the kahn says:

      Has the Guardian bothered to allow comments on this illiberal measure, has Clegg spoken up, has Call me Dave thundered in the wings, I have a feeling that MPs hadn’t srutinised this and it came through without debated.

      Can someone confirm or refute this?

    World ‘losing faith in debt-laden UK’: Bank’s warning over the nation’s credit

    The Bank of England today warns Britain is in danger of losing its ‘credit standing’ with international investors. Many are worried about the vast quantity of government bonds that will have to be sold over the coming years, the Bank reveals in its Quarterly Bulletin.

    No cartoon on earth could be as funny or surreal as fat stupid Gordon wearing his stupid helmet, five sizes too small flak jacket, and stupid untucked billowing, baggy, shitty shirt-tailed shirt. He makes Mr Bean look like James Bond. He is a cockhead and a freak and a fucking wanker.

    How?

    HOW?

    What corruption imposed this man on us?

    Eileen Critchley says:

    I’m really excited about the prospect of a brand new government – out with the old and in with the new!

    Time for a radical new approach, big grown up decision making, dynamism, go getting flair! Oh these days will seem so dark when we look back! Its our time now, it’s a time for families and small business, aspiration and liberty.

    Of course they’ll be major cuts in public sector pay and pensions, we’ll strip away all those years of waste and nanny state nonsense in an instant. We’ll start to look out for the little guy, the guy who wants to get on, to better himself!

    And I just know that all those new MP’s will set the place alight with their radical ideas and political courage – what a breath of fresh air!

    I for one can’t wait until May! Mark my words, things will be so different in May!

    • 85
      Beezley says:

      Yes, Eileen, I agree completely. It’s so exciting! Out with the old and in with the new! At last we will see peace, justice and fairness restored to this our land! Not that Labour is to be regarded as bad in any serious way — they’re just a bit misguided, trying to do their best for us, but somehow it’s gone wrong.

      I especially look forward to reading of the exploits and opinions of such luminaries as Michael Gove.

      Ted bundy says:

      The great pity is that there so no Government in waiting to carry any of those things out. Only the spineless and cowardly Cameron who will be taking orders directly from his Brussels puppet masters and Common Purpose friends.

      BillyBob ... reduce our carbon footprint, stop immigration? says:

      Agreed, they have so much ammunition but for some reason they are reluctant to use it or are scared……..gain the popular vote and go on the offensive, pleeeeeeeease !

      • 90
        Agent 99 says:

        Gents there is no point in using the ammo right now. No one gives a shit this close to Xmas and the good points made will only be lost in the turkey and tinsel. Its all about strategy and yes I am also wanting the Tories to tear Labour a new one but it has to be done at the right time.

        So get Xmas out the way. Get to the end of January when the Q4 figures appear (which will show a massaged + increase of course) and the credit card bills from Xmas start dropping through the letterbox and then just as Labour go on the offensive line of ‘Dont let the ‘babee eaters’ risk the recovery (ha ha)

        LET FUCKING RIP WITH ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING AND KEEP IT GOING DAY IN DAY OUT NON STOP EVERY NEWS PROG EVERY PAPER STRAIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES!!!!!

        Its all in the timing you see and occasionaly ‘events dear boy events’.

    Sir William Waad says:

    I see Cameron more as the Frog Footman, unfortunately, always waiting on the doorstep to be let in. (“I shall sit here, on and off, for days and days….”) Brown is the Queen of Hearts, permanently angry, vindictive and destructive, a foolish figure rushing about giving orders that nobody obeys. Toenails is I think the Mock Turtle. He was a REAL reporter, once.
