Ai Weiwei in China fighting the taxman…
“Under totalitarian rule, no one is protected by law. We will all be the same helpless victims. When a country insists on its lies, it’s time for an artist to bring forth change.”
Ah! Monika says:
Google-eyed-Dave
I haven’t got a clue?.
It’s Andy Coulson isn’t it?
Enjoying his retirement while laughing at Dave’s new Beeboid Spindoctor fucking everything up this week.
Is it Mickey Dolenz, drummer with the Monkees ?
Neither has Polly Toynbee!
Well it looks like Alan Rusbridger cept I’ve never seen him in shades.
“Rich & Mark’s” should be renamed “Poor and Splodges”.
Oh yeh… and who – at 7am – are the three jokers (not) who actually ReTweeted this?
Dustin Hoffman in the hammock, Dennis Waterman leaning on the tree, and the Men In Black on the phones. Easy.
As to why, that is the question.
Actually I think its supposed to be Boris Johnson in the swimming costume – looks younger than the dessicated Toynbee.
On my island, I don’t have to worry about the petrol taxes. Labour raised the petrol taxes, then have a nerve to blame the coalition for the price of fuel.
It was Alistair Darling in his 2009 budget that raised fuel duty in 2009, and put in place rises in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013. Yesterday on the BBC, Ed Balls seemed to forget what the Labour chancellor did when in gov…. never let facts get in the way of a Labour rant.
One of the problems is that when you get thick Labour party supporters like John Sopel (who is clearly out of his depth) they always conveniently forget what Balls, Darling and Brown did.
Year ‘zero’ again. During the Labour years, time was reset to start in 1997. Now time has restated again in 2009.
More frightening is 63% buy this stuff
in Barnsley. Good grief.
Ed Miliband just this morning trying to make cheap shots on the price of fuel in the UK. He seemed very keen to not be reminded of what the previous Labour government did when pressed in the interview. Presenter Sian Williams went off-Labour message…. oops.
The trouble is that none of these bastards actually have to pay for fuel. If they do they pass it on to us as expenses. Next time ask the ‘scunner’ if he will give up claiming fuel expense payements to ‘set an example’. The silence will be deafening as for that cow Williams she is so far up Labour you can almost smell it in Scotland and when she is carted up the M6 to Manchester it will be even worse !!
Is it Chris Myers?
Aye up Willie, i were thinkin that mi sen, looks like thi pal.
Ee Baa gum. It Takes me back te our days (and nights) in Bar Rain.
How many did tha sup when tha were a lad on deliveries doin tha Saturday job fur thi dad, do tell.
I’m Free………
Now smoggie tha knows tha wud, don’t too excited lad
I’m Free……
Is that Polly Twaddle in the red swimming costume?
Yes I suppose it is but not exactly a likeness.
Honestly my cat could do better.
Really, I could and I’m totally shite at drawing.
It is. She can’t go swiming and get back safely because pods of dolphins will keep nudging her out into open water, thinking she is trying to beach herself.
9/11 was an inside job.
Wuv.
That’s a “yes” then, cripple.
If Labour had a problem with tax havens why didn’t they do anything about it when in government?
They did. They let the Inland Revenue sell their offices to a company baed in a tax haven.
If’s that’s pretty polly in red then I’m confused it look like that Welsh Bevin fella
Aneurin “Nye” Bevan that’s it.
Same Labour, same hypocricy. See this:
“I remember Mr Bevan parking his Rolls Royce in Ross on Wye hotel garage and redressing in an ordinary suit and catching the red and white bus to Tredegar!! Was he afraid to show his wealth to the persons he represented?”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/southeast/halloffame/public_life/aneurin_bevan.shtml
Comment on the BBC ffs! They would normally suppress this sort of thing. I have taken copies of the page in case they ever do.
It’s a good “story”
Like five or six other similar stories about Bevan that are easy enough to find if you care to look. Just coincidence, I suppose?
As good as the broadcast that did not know the difference between Bevin and Bevan.
welcome to lefty paradise island (leave all honesty on the boat) de plane de plain??
There’s not much to That Tuscany, is there?
OK what Twat forgot the champers and caviar
It’s a desert island. Four people, five and half coconuts, they won’t last long. Is that the point? Is there a point?
Of course their’s a point ,R&M get critiqued for their “art” every Monday by a gang of rabid individuals whose knowledge knowledge of a quality cartoon is zero, It wouldn’t suprise me if Giles was doing these cartoons he would be called a masochist for trying to entertain and teach the baying mob on this blog.
The baying mob have every desire to be entertained on a Monday. That is why the talentless and ineffectual duo get such a shellacking. As to being educated- you must be a product of Ed Balls’ Childminding, Propaganda and Dole-scroungers Training Estasblishments to find any educational value in R&M.
BTW for your education, Giles died in 1995. He was the only reason for buying the Express and the world isa poorer place without him. R7M could do worse than spend a couple of months going though his works and working out what makes a cartoon funny, insightful and satirical.
I was reading a 1966/67 Cartoon book at the time of this comment and thought I wonder what others would say, if I compared R&M with Giles , I bought a couple from a car boot for 50p yesterday as I try to collect them, I’ll just pick myself off the floor , if you don’t mind :-/
Dave’s finally said Gaddafi has to go after a week of utter chaos in downing street and this shite is what passes for topical political comment.
Pitiful.
As have every other leader, you pillock. You have to wait till you’ve got all or most of your citizens out of the country. I only wish Blair, Brown & Precott were there with their cronies on a freebie.
And everyone knows it’s Dave’s fault they took so long to evacuate you shitlicking retard.
Now fuck off and go back to sucking Dave’s cock you sad little twat.
Ah, keep up the good work Blog Dickhead.
The Coalition must breathe easy every Monday morning and lick their wounds. But it can’t last much longer even than Gadafi’s regime with this relentless trolling onslaught. One more Youtube vid and an expletive, I fear, may be enough to bring it all crashing down.
I don’t even live in Britain but I spens all day here talking wank about it’s politics.
I’m the saddest wanker in the world!
Ha, it is awake! Seems a bit punchy this morning though, resorting to dusty stock retorts.
Bless your little cotton socks!
And only a Hunt like you could whine on about a set of turds who thought it clever to serve a mad dictator. Still, you leftist pieces of shit do like to do that.
Fuck off.
Splooooot.
He actually added…..”NOW….! ” which of course shows that he means it ???? Meanwhile Obama says “This is your FINAL warning!” Hillary says “The US will off ANY assistance to the opposition to remove Gaddafi!”
AND finally you know things are pretty serious when they wheel out that old schmoozer Bliar to warn Gaddafi that it’s “last orders” or something of that sort…..so that probably means….another week of the West issuing further pretty serious warnings to Gaddafi…until he just gives up from boredom
Bruce Forsyth and Lard Prescott with a couple of suits???
Quentin Tarantino or Ray Davies
That looks like Hague’s wee ‘friend’
Doesn’t it just… and he’s on a swinging bed getting ready to suck something!
Is that Polly Toynbee or George Woodcock in red?
Elton John with paps.

Pass that over here, lad !
Okay ya. Would you say that that is an appropriate joke to make when people are starving and front line services to the elderly are being slashed as a direct result of bankers’s bonuses and the Tory-led government’s cuts?
Yes, or nooo?
Morning, Ed.
Hullo.
Today I am going to wear some pop socks for a special treat.
Goodbye.
My client has no recollection of the deficit.
Today I am going to waste my life posting inane wank about the politics of a country I don’t live in.

Here is Saif Gaddafi machine gun in hand on video encouraging his “troops” to go out and kill…
On the same day that Mandelson was shamelessly saying on British TV that the same Saif “should have called him”…
Blair, Mandelson, Jacob and Nat Rothschild and others have blood on their hands
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1361294/Peter-Mandelson-defends-Colonel-Gaddafis-clan-saying-Tony-Blair-right-make-friends.html
Their true colours really showing now.
mandy is obviously touting for the job of spinner extraordinaire to the gad afi family. His income streams must be slacking off.
I’m making loads by selling arms in the middle of a bloodbath.
No wonder nell loves me.
That’s right !! I never knew the Libyan leader or any of his family. Don’t even know them by sight. Never gave them ‘investment advice’ either.
He’s a bit late if he thinks he’s going to do that.
bliar and brown sold weapons to every dictator and would be dictator they could contact, then brown in a moment of insane inspiration decided to use the SAS as a training corp and loaned them out too, to the likes of gad afi’s khamis brigade to sharpen up their killing skills.
You really should get away from sitting on that tribal seat and figure out the damage that’s been done by people using your name and stop guessing what a hedge fund “invests” in, If you have any information that you know this is happening bring it here.
Nat is my best friend you wotter!
Shouldn’t there be a bonfire under that hammock?
I see the Mail’s picked up on GPs being the biggest obstacle to cancer treatment.

I’m sure that will improve once they have more budget responsibility (n’t).
When will I get my bonus from theGuardian group’s hedge fund profits Guido ?
Now that my hubby is no longer on the State’s teat I need to refill my coffers
I do have three houses to maintain you know…not cheap…
Note to the BBC
Please invite Mr Rushberger and Guido to debate the Guardian’s protesque hypocrisy
This would be real news
Oh there are plenty of other anti-capitalists at the Guardian. Seamus Milne is even more strident and hysterical than Polly Toynbee (no doubt fuelled by his deprived upbringing at Winchester) and there are also regular loons like Hutton, Monbiot and Ashley before you even get to the real weirdos who are allowed to guest on CiF.
Hypocritical hoons the lot of them.
True, but as a pair of objectionable hypocrits representitive of the futility of the chattering classes, pollytwadle & moonbat monbiot do take some beating.
Milne is the worst – he’s basically SWP.
And this morning on CIF we are treated to Chuka Umunna telling us that: -
‘We’ve had enough of people going into politics for self-aggrandisement’
No trace of Irony. Simply breathtaking!
Urgent message to our hedge fund managers
Can you tell me how much we have made so far this year ?
Do you publish the figures ?
We need confidentiality for obvious reasons…
Shut up
Guido got this one spot on.
“… Guido Fawkes was largely right. It is a vintage piece of Rusbridger-ese, a veritable masterpiece. The exact allegations are never considered. Instead we are treated to a lot of high-minded mumbo jumbo whose inner message is that The Guardian cannot be at fault because it is The Guardian.”
Evade, avoid, con. Am I speaking about money or editorial policy? Does it matter to them?
I hope they’ve still got all that bullion I gave away.
O/T for you Guido
Heard on French radio this morning
“Brussels will not accept a renegotiation of the terms of Ireland’s EU/IMF bailout until Dublin gives up “fiscal dumping”….”
EUSSR…
I wonder if Ireland in their present peed off temper would go for a 3rd referendum imagine the damage and the bargaining chips they could get out of that, I would have thought they would be in a great position as they had a referendum which the country said a firm no, then they were forced to have one again, by doing that the EUSSR has left themselves open,whatever the treaties they have signed say.
Ireland defaults. The European banking system takes a hammering as well as practically every other EU financial institiution. I wonder who holds all the aces?
What genius.
Before this staggeringly biting, incisive, ahead of the curve satire I had not fathomed how hypocritical the Guardian/GMG were.
But now I can see! Brilliant! Yes! The likes of Scarfe truly have nothing on R&M. Nothing!
If there is not a Pulitzer for cartoons, there damn well should be. This groundbreaking illustration of truth – with its modest ‘Cartoon’ metatag – is a game changer, and we all witnessed it here. Today.
If onlt Private Eye hadn’t already hammered the Guardian for their hypocrisy countless times this would be truly groundbreaking.
Use your own moniker mate.
Agreed. I must prefer OTT sarcasm.
Quite so! indeed I would cancel my copy of the Gardy with immediate effect apart is the fact I don’t take it, nor any other for that matter, I get the specific news I want from the WWW without all the other moronic irrelevant crap the press prints.
Indeed if I feel the desire to read anything trivial or moronic I visit this site, its a cut above anything the british press can muster!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/sep/04/tax-avoidance-george-osborne-cuts-hmrc
The Guardian’s Tax Gap report showed the vast scale of corporation tax avoidance. Meanwhile, a meagre 100 HMRC inspectors do their best to police the entire country’s employers for compliance with the minimum wage.
Britain is historically a nation of relatively compliant taxpayers, but that is changing. Lord Oakshott, the Lib Dem Treasury spokesman, told the Lords: “Tax-dodging in Britain is a deep-seated, pervasive, pernicious disease … Highly organised, aggressive, abusive tax avoidance which used to be a marginal and rather spivvy operation, that was frowned on by the main banks and shunned by top accountants and lawyers who were mainly concerned with reputational risk, has now mushroomed out of all recognition.”
…and then Gordon came along with his stealth taxes….
When taxes are oppressively high and Government has a deliberate programme of wasting them, it is a citizen’s duty to reduce their impact.

I do hope george is going to go after that money that seif put into the LSE in order to buy his undeserved MA and Phd, as well. Because that money also belonged to the lib yan people.

Guido Fawkes Next Target of “Anonymous” Hacker Group !!!!!!!
Frankie is now in Manchester – working to pay for your giro.
They needn’t bother. It’s already been tried by the best hacker on the planet, Top Boy, after he left this site in disgust. Some regulars may remember this…
++TOP BOY HAS HAD ENOUGH OF GUIDO RIMMING THE HOUSING BENEFIT CHEAT DAVID CAMERON AND THE CRACKHEAD GIDEON OSBORNE++
Well he threatened to crash the site ages ago but nothing’s happened at all. Except for some rather petty amateur trolling and moniker thievery it has been business as usual.
If Top Boy can’t hack it then those Anonymous wankers might as well keep their powder dry.
this whole Libyan thing has the whiff of a Gadiffi Blair wife swop mix up
The Guardianistas are only following the example of their hero, Karl Marx, who speculated on the stock market – although Marx lost his shirt.
…..and then wrote “Das Kapital” in a fit of pique. It figures.
Or Scottish Socialist Donald “father of the nation ” Dewar, who died leaving behind a shares portfolio worth 3million. These included shares in privatised companies which he protested about at least publicly.
You can see a statue of this hypocrite in the “boardwalk empire” known as Glasgow.
I’m 100! Fizzy orange time.
I get the impression that Clarkson is not a fan of Lord Prescott. Just a gut feeling.
I would prefer not to feel Prescott’s gut – in any case I’m pretty sure my hands aren’t big enough.

How is Toynbee so rich?
Well it can’t be because of the wages she’s been earning. She’s spent much of her career at the BBC and the Guardian and given their stance on fat cats I’m sure neither would pay extortionate salaries for little return.
“Polly is the high priestess of our paranoid, mollycoddled, risk-averse, airbagged, booster-seated culture of political correctness and ‘elf ‘n’ safety fascism”.
Old City family business called Jessel Toynbee
Discount brokers in the old days…
Plus mum and dad, husbands etc
Owning a discount broker wasn’t ‘work’. It was a licence to print money and then go out for a long lunch. The Old Lady used to take care of their salesmen.
Exactly
Give us a clue Pikey
Its Rushbridger you ponce
At last…….we finally have a celebrity edition of Desert Island Discs!
The Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) cursed the man who wears the clothing of the woman, and [likewise] cursed the woman who wears the clothing of the man
It’s clearly some arseholes from the Grauniad and that’s all we need to know, to be frank! And it is topical satire, after all…
Shrewd investments, stocks and shares, and high interest savings accounts. Oops, I meant, I’m not rich, you evil Tory. I live on a basic wage. I feel the pain of the ordinary working folk. Let’s sing The Red Flag.
I wonder who has more money? Polly Toynbee or David Cameron. Oh yes, I know …. it’s little diddy David … the arms negotiator of the year.
Cameron has money because he earned it, nothing to do with the arms trade which Blair exploited with deranged zeal, including selling loads of weapons to his pal Gaddafi. Toynbee may not be as rich as Cameron, and certainly nowhere near as rich as multi-multi-millionaire Blair, but it’s rather odious that she and her well-to-do pals take a superior attitude over taxes and cuts when their employers made out like bandits by using the very same procedures and legal loopholes during the financial crisis that they attack others for using.
Toynbee may not be as rich as Cameron
I’ll bet she is, though.
Is Cameron as rich as Sainsbury?
… or the Hinduja brothers, Mittal, Lord Paul, Ecclestone ….
123, that ‘honour’ must go to Blair, surely?
Didn’t Gad dafy’s son describe B£iar as a ‘close family friend’ ? Didn’t the whole B£iar family holiday in Libya for free ????
He is a ‘Saif’ pair of hands

I note that the blog post on the Guardian website by Mr Rusbridger telling Guardian readers that it is OK for the Guardian to avoid tax because: “We am special, we am” does not have a comment section.
That’s not a blog post, mush! That’s just a special pleading whine!
That’s easy for you to say.
Capitalism, eh? You can’t live with it but you just can’t live without it.
This is because capitalism is natural and real, whereas socialism is artificial and unreal. ‘Better pay and conditions for the workers’ is real, but class-based social analysis is just a mind game.
10:40 was supposed to be here.
Excuse me!!
who is advising Cameron on how to dress?
during his recent visit to an oil refinery in Egypt he turned up in tight jeans and walking boots, can’t someone sort him out with some correct clobber so he doesn’t look like an accountant on an audit
A suit would have been ok as he is the PM or some Helly Hansen Workwear (preferaby worn in)
I can’t believe his people let him out looking like that
Rejoice, rejoice….Liam Fox informs us that UK forces are sweeping up the last remaining nationals of our ‘partner countries’ in Libya.
Who are these ‘partners’ that our forces are putting themselves in harms way for…and at our expense?
