      Ruffley was greedy – but if it really was a suicide attempt then the cartoon’s kicking a man who’s already on the floor.

      Very nice boys. Why the fuck does Guido keeps posting your cartoons? Are you his nephews or something?

      Do let us know if either of you have a personal tragedy and we’ll all come round to take this piss.

          • Susie says:

            So badly drawn I thought it was supposed to be Gordon Brown. It doesn’t look like Ruffley at all.

            Anyway he paid it back and his claims were disallowed — ok, maybe he shouldn’t have made the claims in the first place, but most of the other MPs were too. At least this shows he’s got a conscience, unlike some. Are you listening Moran, Blears, Smith et al.?

          • Biffo says:

            AND a politician who was more than happy to trough it while he could – no doubt his only regret is being found out. Sorry, can’t feel any pity for freeloaders like this.

      Up sh1t creek says:

      David Miliband thinks that Labour left a great economy, so much so that the cuts the Con-Lib coalition are making now is “vindictive”, surely we should instead print more money to prop up the public sector…. savers…. who cares about them, they were stupid to save for a rainy day, they should have all their money take to bail out the feckless. That’s more or less the Labour line all their MP’s are pushing before the coalition budget.

        Zed says:

        The feckless HAVE alraedy been bailed out.
        My thoughts are that numerous banks and institutions offered sub-prime loans to the feckless.
        Only if they failed to meet their proomises or commitments then the contract is broken and their houses were reposessed.
        Unless this happened then the bank’s investments were underwritten.
        ie. No bank bail-outs.
        So… we now have to pay for the feckless once again – they were a major part of the crisis and now the rest of us pay for it again.
        Now, why should the feckless have their “schools, hospitals and benefits” protected or be excused from paying additional tax to correct the situation ?

        • 264
          Kill all bankers too says:

          Banker is aware of the feckless so he knows he will get a default. Yet he continues,makes him feckless in the least and a criminal at the other end, me I say both

      Look here!

      We’re a couple of guys (interns?) on a government-sponsored apprentice scheme for a Satirical Cartoon – Content & Composition – Level 2 – examination we’re doing and Guido is kindly supporting us in our endeavours!

      And it’s not easy – what with having between us – no sense of humour and a profound lack of any talent in the drawing department

      Our mums think that all things considered – we’re rather doing well

        not really a lot to say now after the election

          Can't remember my moniker says:

          Its a great problem with politics, and other thigs in life, that the many big things that were bad under Bliar/Broon eventually became so obvious to all that they got the boot. But some of those big things (not all) stated off as small, almost unobservable ones. They then developed a momentum of their own and became monsters.

          Here we are, with nothing much substantive (until tomorrow), but somewhere out there, there are new monsters incubating right now. CGT is one, but people are already howling over that. It’s the ones that people aren’t howling about, until they find that they have been stitched, that we need to uncover.

          Guess my point is, there is something worthwhile to do even now. The problem is finding out what exactly it is.

    I am not a fan of rich & mark – but any one who criticizes a cartoonist subject should be shot.

    Ruffley ran for re-election he is a public figure – he can fix that in an instant… if he chooses not to then he is fair game.

    If we aren’t careful we may end up with a full blown mental as PM, and that would be disastarous we could end up at war all over the place, bankrupt etc…

        I’ve not been following the news either, but do you mean to say this guy not only missed the live rail but he missed the train, too? I mean, trains are like, you know, big.

        Surely if you’re going to top yourself, you make some sort of effort to get it right, and you’d really actually have to work pretty hard to get “jumping under a train” wrong.

      lets squander $45 trillion on an imaginary threat - to make carbon traders billionaires. says:

      I think we should all ‘Rail’ against Guildo for being on the wrong ‘track’ we should ‘signal’ our displeasure and ‘guard’ against making ‘second class’ ‘points’. A true ‘conductor’ of mirth would perhaps show Ruffley as a ‘sleeper’ with a guard standing in ‘station’ over him. A ‘first class’ cartoonist would ‘mind the gap’ between good and bad taste but with ‘tunnel’ vision and wanting to ’tilt’ against authority he probably thought the subject matter was just the ‘ticket’. Some will get up a full head of steam but some will say he was lucky to miss the train.

            And Anonymous, if you read my previous posts, you will see that I am independent politically, as I have criticised the tories more than I have praised them. I do consider the coalition government to be far superior to the previous malevolent labour maladministration and it was very important to get labour out of power.

            If UKIP had stood any chance of getting more than about 4% of the vote in my constituency, I would have voted UKIP. But they came NOWHERE here, beating B&P by only one vote!

        What the FUCK happened to Rooney? Standing still on the pitch and just watching the ball dribble past him on several occasions. Letting the Algerians take the ball off him at will… Lampard was just as bad.

        In-fact the whole team (bar maybe the goalie) was just abysmal. WTF happened to them?

        They deserve the folllowing joke:

        All future televised England matches have been moved to the Gay adult channel – this is because the sight of 11 arseholes getting hammered for 90 mins was far too explicit for terrestrial television.

    I find most of your comments on your website entertaining but this is totally unacceptable.
    Could only be prepared and publised by people with no empathy for others or those who have never experienced pure pain.

      Look I agree with you about both the low quality and bad taste, but if we’re really that offended then we don’t have to visit do we? His sponsors would leave etc etc.

      If you really think GF is that big of a twat and that your that offended then stop visiting.

      I think its tastless crap, and that GF is acting like a wanker to put it up and I wouldn’t put it up on my website – but then it’s not my, highly successful, website is it?

          ST says:

          I agree, and I take your point about (my non-existant) wife. But where do we draw the line, what about those Mohammed cartoons is that acceptable or not and why?

          As I said, if this appeared in some shitty chat room we’d write GF off as a sick, tasteless mentalist venting posionous bile into his keyboard and think nothing more of it. He’s successful that’s why you feel the need to demand he takes it down, if he wasn’t you wouldn’t. How do you stop this blog being successful? Answer: stop visiting.

          The alternative is we have to run everything by you to make sure it is not offensive. It would be nice if GF and Rich and Mark had as much empathy as you and me, but clearly they don’t, the question is how strongly do you feel about this? I don’t like it, BUT it won’t put me off visiting as I am clearly not that morally outraged.

          ANYWAY:-

          What I’m saying is we have the power to turn Guido into an unimportant, rambling lunatic (who I imagine would also probably soil himself) – so come on chaps we can do it!

          You only want freedom of speech restricted based solely on what YOU find offensive? FUCK YOU!

          On and For the record, I also find this “cartoon” to be sick and in very poor taste. But Guido has EVERY RIGHT to post it and YOU have every right to condemn it. But NEITHER of you has the right to stop free speech of others.

          Guido can, of course, censor whomever he chooses on his own site, that does NOT prevent free speech, as those who he does censor can easily post elsewhere.

          My own Brother killed himself in 2001. I am therefore particularly sensitive to humour based around suicide or attempted suicide. I do not find it funny AT ALL, However, I would NEVER attempt to BAN someone else from enjoying that humour if that is what they find funny.

          Fucking hell, what happened to live and let live, and defending the other persons write to objectionable opinions???

          DM, if YOU cannot handle freedom, FUCK OFF!

    DEAR RICH & MARK
    Can I suggest you swap roles? It can’t get much worse. One of you can’t draw very well and the other one has precious little wit. Or do both of you have to put your combined brains together to eek out these ideas? The only entertainment value usually to be gained from these is trying to work who they are meant to be (even with the help of the crashingly unsubtle clues).

Also, as he did it at the terminus where trains are going slow & he’d bought a return ticket seems like it was more a sympathy ploy (akin to Prezza’s bulimea stories) than a serious attempt to top himself.

    People committing suicide under trains are amongst the most thoughtless, self-centred bastards imaginable.

    If they want to top themselves they need only buy themselves several packets of readily available drugs, take to their beds with a bottle or two of whisky and send a second class letter to the coroner detailing where they can be found before they start stinking the place up too badly.

    Delaying several hundred thousand people by hours, causing untold trauma to the poor train driver, platform full of witnesses and ambulancemen, firemen etc that have to bag these fuckers up just because they’re having a bad day or a shit life displays such a thoughtless disregard for others that if this was a suicide attempt then we should wait until he’s better and then toss the fucker under a freight train at 4am in the morning where he can cause the minimum of disruption.

    As for anthropomorphising MPs – in my opinion you couldn’t kill enough of them or toss enough of them in front of trains.

    That way they don’t disrupt a million people trying to get home on a Friday night.

    The trains could be dr*ven by psychopaths who wouldn’t lose a wink of sleep. I suggest ex-MPs.

    According to Wikiwoodles, he was a spad to that fat fucking Bilderberg c-unt, Kenneth Clarke, and then became an MP.

    The parasitic sack of shit has never had a job!

    David Laurie (whats up Ducky?) Ruffley is a dirty evil malignancy eating taxpayers money. He is utterly worthless shite, and so incompetent he failed at throwing himself under a train.

    The NHS will now sped tens of £1000s on the bastard giving him gentle therapy, while gangs of psychotic nutters stalk the streets with axes because there is no money to treat them.

    Die next time mugga fugga!

    Thank you for reminding me why I avoid your blog. As somebody who’s suffered severe depression, I think your taste stinks. I was tempted to post this anonymously; but if you want to have a go, come ahead.

    You have to wonder how different his blog would have been if Ruffley’s suicide attempt had suceeded?

    Or, for example, if a member of your family had done something similar and had a “satirical” cartoon on it?

Norman Tebbit has a humble brag:

“We Maastricht rebels were derided and abused for opposing the single currency by the wise, clever, Guardianista soft centre left establishment from whom we now hear so little on the matter.”



The last Quango in Paris says:

Mr Bryant and Mr Watson managing to make the whole hacking affair look like a farce – the more they moan the less I care about the whole subject! So partisan it beggars belief at all costs. They cannot rise above it ! If I was to call the PM a ‘liar’ I would want to be VERY sure.
