Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…
“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”
Harold Macmillan says:
” Evans, dear boy, Evans “
Why is Gordon Brown in Gideon’s biopic?
That’s not Gordon.
It’s Elton.
Look at the wig.
Elton gave me aids
You’d be deaf without them. How’s the driving these days?
Andy would be better off sticking to polo.
Elton caught it from me.
Clegg claims this weekend that he is going to get tough on chief executive pay. Does this mean he will start by speaking to his misses? She has secured a £500,000 EU gravy train job. Uk tax payers already pay too much in the EU pot without her adding to the bill. Does Clegg have no shame?? Or is this to butter him up to support the EU takeover?
He was going to get tough on politicians- he was going to shut he gate of Westminster until he cleaned up politics. David Laws, Huhne, Cable Handcock and others shows us he is full of bullsh1t. He was also going to prevent any rise in student tuition fees and abolish them in one parliament. EU students are provided free university education at the cost of the UK taxpayer.
Does anyone out there believe a word this man says?
Clegg is obviously compromised. It would not be allowed to happen in business, yet in our murky political world, sadly this selling out og the nation for ones own game seems the norm.
Hang the treacherous bastard
Tory MPs have accused George Osborne of disparaging Margaret Thatcher’s record by suggesting her ‘Iron Lady’ reputation for always sticking to her guns is a myth.
The Chancellor reportedly challenged her economic record in a private meeting with Conservative MPs who claimed the Coalition was losing its nerve in the battle to slash spending.

Why does this cartoon have ‘Osbourne’ looking more like Robert Maxwell of not-remotely-lamented memory?
It’s not a very good cartoon if it requires a caption to know who it’s meant to be about.
Oh arse, it’s Monday.
Cameron is throwing OUR money at the Euro, the government and Bank of England are cooking the books to depress your wages. Cameron is the bankers friend.
Didn’t Cameron make a cast-iron guarantee that he wouldn’t use our money to prop-up the euro?
Cameron wouldn’t know how to tell the truth if his life depended on it.
In this sort of thing “Cast-iron” Dave really is the heir to Blair.
Lots of high-profile popular announcements followed by backsliding, u-turns and inactivity.
Remember the bonfire of the quangos?
Cameron’s only plus point is that he is not Brown. He is certainly not a Tory.
Don’t worry, the Limp Dem’s are there to defend the right to a referendum. They will, won’t they??
Will someone please get rid of the dutchman. He really is annoying.
Cast iron fractures reasonably easily!
Ay with a good sharp tap with a sledge hammer
“Clog” Iron
John Pilger.
http://www.newstatesman.com/uk-politics/2010/08/pilger-blair-iraq-britain
Pilger is a nasty, sanctimonious, lefty twat. (And he has a funny name!)
Pilger taught Hari all he knows.
And a lying twat. He once had a made up story involving me on the front page of the Daily Mirror.
Bloody Hell! I’m surprised Tone found the time to write a book – he’s been a very busy boy according to this account!
Why is Jeremy Clarkson wearing pearls?
Why is Jeremy Clarkson wearing pe-arls?
Is it George Michael. Is he dead yet?
Not Long Now
It’s Guido
Yes, it’s George Michael.
Or maybe Elton.
Louise
It is Handycock. He used to like dressing up as a woman and mooching about the flat in my clothes. Together with the viagra, it used to turn him on.
Ok who the hell is it and what’s it all about and who cares?.
It seems to be something to do with this from the Daily Fail :
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2069634/MPs-fury-George-Osborne-says-Margaret-Thatcher-Iron-Lady.html
So not only are Skid and Mark shit cartoonists, but they use the Mail comic as a resource. That explains a lot.
The thought crossed my mind, I think it is supposed to be Ozzie as a cross dresser in Maggies clothes, maybe with the thought if he dresses like Maggie he will get all the attributes of the old lady
Its got nails – it can’t be Gordon
And two eyes..
And a hairy chest.
At least, I don’t think Gordon’s got a hairy chest.
…..actually he probably has a hairy arse.
No he actually is just a hairy arse.
Not hairy, as worn smooth from repeated sessions on the rocking horse.
Modded – Fucking small green things.
As I was saying – is arse has been worn smooth by multiple sessions on the rocking horse.

I’ve got Spielberg and Soderbergh competing to direct the film. I’ve got Leonardo DiCaprio phoning me every half hour as he really wants this lead part. I have stopped answering the phone to the money men. They will have to wait to see who is successful.
The only bugger I can’t get hold of is Billy.
Who would have thunk it that once he got famous, he would go to ground like this?
Has Billy run off with Sir Aston Martin, then?
Of course! To Le Mans…
.don’t you mean “to Les MEN?”
I was trying to be subtle… I managed not to mention David Brown.
Alas, our tryst was short-lived … the love that cannot spell its name …
It is an extreme form of dyslexia that manages to emit I lace words instead of Oscar Wilde.
Is George Micheals pnumonia really linked to Aids?
Maybe it was caused by something that he ate.
The moral fabric of this country has totally collapsed.
Harrumph; an imposter!
Sure that isn’t Guido? Dark hair, double chin? I didn’t know he went in for drag, but you learn something new everyday. Not from watching the Leveson Inquiry, perhaps, where we’ve learned nothing new any day, but you never know what you might find out about the people you admire. Not that there’s anything wrong with drag, you understand! (*COUGHS* poof *AHEM AHEM*)
It’s definitely Guido. Think Rich & Mark are taking the p*ss at Guido’s expense. Either that or they just got a whole lot worse, which is nigh impossible.
Well it’s the usual, guess who is depicted in the cartoon.
Never underestimate the ability of shit cartoonists to swim further into the cess pit.
There’s no pigeon shit on his head.
” ‘Dye! Dye! My Darling!’,” Your Ladyship.
Why show Osborne when Cameron would be better skewered by the comparison? The thought of Dave’s great wobbly Spam face coming out of the top of a neat blue dress is revolting, but in the context that would be all to the good.
Dave can’t do it. He’s too busy being Empress of Russia
No no no.
Dear God. The last few weeks had shown distinct signs of improvement. This is just weirdly unrecognisable.
There are pavement artists in the Leicester Square area who produce better caricatures rapidly and at a reasonable price.
*Don’t interrupt him. He’s been attempting to memorise Margaret’s speeches again*
Surely that’s Ian Paisley’s speech he’s working on?
WTF is a Fady, least of all an iron one?
The closest I could find on Google is Fady Maalouf, a Lebanese-German pop singer.
Is that the latest fashion in abaci that George is sporting round his neck ?
Maybe he was at the Bullingdon Bukkake Ball and got a pearl necklace.
Oh dear ! Are those the kind of circles he moves in ?
Well spotted.
Is the Bullingdon Club the UK equivalent of Yale’s Scull and Bones Fraternity
Propably the other way round, old bean. We’ve had a problem with aristocratic gang culture in this country for centuries. IDS is going to sort it out by writing to thier mothers.
Starting with Attaniout Ikeneego?
george isnt the problem here.
Well, if he ain’t, he’ll do till the problem gets here.
Bernard Breslaw?
Why the fuck is Russell Grant dressed up like a business woman? Or rather, why is this newsworthy?
The Conservatives are more concerned with borrowing money which British taxpayers have to pay back, but is not used on the British….. on no, it’s used to bailout the feckless Euro and PIIGS.
Don’t worry – Cameron will be gone in 6 months. Either that, or the Cons will be gone for 20+ years at the next election.
It’s tempting to accelerate the panic by saying something cod-statesmanlike along the lines of ‘…and Britain herself will be gone forever’.
Nonsense. No country is set in stasis. We won’t be tomorrow what we were yesterday but something recognisable, if subtly different, will still be here. And our politicians will still tend towards dissimulation and malignant narcissism.
What a load of fucking garbage.
We are not now what we were.
Once we were a decent country unpolluted by hordes of brown and black people who are totally alien to our way of life.
wishful thinking
Agreed, in any case we only have a conservative/coalition government in name they are in fact rather nasty capitalists grabbing all they can while claiming all wrong doing in your best interests, in short denying everything and grabbing your money!
As always a crooks first port of call for fleecing is their supporters the weak unwary and the gullible
All in it together (unless you are in the shit in which case you are on your own).
True conservatives are not in Government!
“Hypocricy”? “Mirred”? A product of Nu-Labour educashun?
We hace discovered Billy’s job – writing headline banners for an Indie TV news prog.

must be N*o Gu*do at his day job.
Poor. Very poor.
Just, no.
It’s so poor, in fact, that Mark Andrich hasn ‘t put his URL on it, like he usually does with his execrable cartoons. I surmise he knows this one’s an even bigger pile of poo than his other efforts.
Where?
To-day in Parliament MPs of all parties can demonstrate that they put the rights of the British Citizens (whom they were elected to parliament by) over the rights of US Citizens and vote massively in the debate tonight on the US/UK Extradition Treaty to repeal and amend it so that UK Citizens enjoy the same rights as US Citizens in regard to extradition.
Until this a is the case none of us is safe from extradition at the whim of a US Court merely on indictment and without the need to set out the case in a British Court .
When in Opposition both Cameron and Clegg made many comments about the unfairness of the treaty and that they would repeal/amend it when/if in government and yet we see the Prime Minister, whilst saying publicly that there is a free vote, does not stop the Government Whips urging his Cabinet and those in government to vote down the measure because….it would upset the Americans!!! We have seen the spectacle of the US Ambassador to the UK interfering in domestic politics and lecturing us on the need to keep the treaty unamended.What colossal cheek!!! Can you imagine the brouhaha if the UK Ambassador to USA lectured Congress on what laws they should and should not pass?
No….. Every MP should realise that their foremost duty as a Member of Parliament is to protect the rights of those who elected them, not foreign nationals and anyone, from the Prime Minister downwards who votes against or abstains is telling us that they put the rights of US/Foreign Citizens above those of the UK and not one, and I mean not one, who does so should sit as a MP let alone Prime Minister or Deputy Prime Minister.

“When in Opposition both Cameron and Clegg made many comments about the unfairness of the treaty and that they would repeal/amend it when/if in government”
Calm down dear, it was just an aspiration.
Bit like that referendum promise then.?????
Legacy of Blair. He could never do anything right. Still he managed to win three elections – says a lot about us.
Truly sheep led by Donkeys !!!
Looks more like that Paddy Doherty gypo currently tupping Mr Speaker’s ewe…
If the Speaker were a man he’d do something about that. If he had any friends they’d help him. It must be lonely looking like a cuckold and realising that his new friends in the Labour Party don’t care less about him and the old friends he betrayed are all laughing at him.
Still – he’s got his portrait and his Coat of Arms, hasn’t he.
Is it Neo-Guido after his early morning vodka gargle?
Is it Billy, showing contrition and embaressment having finally been awarded the Monday morning caption contest?
Are you new here?
Come on Cat. Credit where credit is due. Billy has been ‘trying’ for ages!
I think it was the Monday morning caption contest? bit that sparked that burst of indigestion, Mr non.
I was one of the first to express astonishment and delight as seen here:

It is good to see the younger generation doing well. It can’t be all down to gnarled and hoary old bounders…
It is Billy. The pearl necklace gives it away.
Seeing as the real Billy casts pe arls before swine, maybe we are correct
Please tell me you’re not paying for crappy looking cartoons Guido
Has Lisa Minelli agreed to play Osborne?
Bonnie Langford.
Hmm. OK So what is georgie porgie going to uturn on?
So poor I can’t be bothered to comment.
Oops, just did. Is that a U-turn?
Another cold day with north westerly winds bringing in showers of rain, hail, sleet and snow. Further accumlations in northern areas, especially for western Scotland but northern England and Northern Ireland may see some snow on higher ground. The best of the drier and brighter weather in the south east of England
You are a one man show.
Have you been to spelling class, Billy?
It’s either a fake Billy or he has been taking lessons on cutting and pasting.
How can one be cast as Iron when they are giving in to the E.U instead of standing up to the Brussels bureacrats?
Are EU thinking what I’m thinking?
Beats me. I’ve watched open mouthed as cameron has fallen over himself to plewase merkel. Where’s his backbone?
The name Cameron will be a byword for treason and treachery for generations to come.
Not while Im still here it won’t.
I see the “cartoon” is living down to our expectations.
Rick Astley?
Why is Shakin’ Stevens in a political cartoon?
Is it Misha B or that Robbie Savage geezer? They look alike to me.
Is it Michael Portillo in drag?
What do Rich and Mark do for the rest of the week?

Private sector workers pay tax to the government who pay their workers who put money into the pension scheme who invest in small business.
Better still, private sector workers invest in small business.
That’s about 50p per business
In Strathclyde it’s about 100 quid per business.
There’s no private sector to sp*eak of at all in Fucking Scotland. Unless you count corner shops selling Buckfast or fish & chip shops selling deep-fried confectionery. The rest of the economy is all Scottish Ministry for This, Scottish Executive for that, NHS, ScotRail, council, SNH, tax credits, incapacity benefit, mobility scooter suppliers etc etc.
Even the private business that does exist is massively supported by subsidies hence all their windfarm, solar installers and the rest putting in solar shite massively subsidised by the tax-payer.
Even ten years ago public spending in Fucking Scotland had tipped over 50% of GDP. Scotland is finished – whether they know it or not.
Can’t wait for an independent England. How to encourage Wales?

Tony Blair receives the 2011 Louis Vuitton Middle East peace prize
http://flic.kr/p/7vxjJ5
Don’t think that link will work but its our very own bliar receiving an inappropriately upmarket trophy for his’peace’work as the middle east burns around him,
Doesn’t it make you proud to be a fellow countryman of his?!!
He created a war and then created a rather nice job for himself as Peace Envoy when it was obvious that his party would not win the election.
You couldn’t make it up.
I hope,for their sake, Rich and Mark never give up their day job.
Is it that Aussie, normally sporting a pink mohican on sky news?
They don’t think that’s going to get them out of their euro black hole do they? Poor fools!
VAT here upped to 23% a while ago Nell and it has made very little difference. When you have a lot of sun, you ignore all financial down sides elsewhere.
How is Norfolk today- Got the tobbogan out?
For Gods sake, stop giving me ideas
Vote of thanks to Irish Government… UK shopping bonanza in the run up to Xmas as mass exodus into N. Ireland to snap up “cheaper” bargains…although ironically the UK taxpayer is supporting Irish economy with £ billions of bail-out funds !! However we should refuse to accept euro’s and insist on sterling as the euro is about finished whatever the Franco-German axis thinks
Not satisfied with the billions we have already given him Mohamed the Karzai
the EU will need to give him another 7 billion a year to keep this fantastic country in the manor they are accustomed to when the troops are withdrawn. The place is a shithole full of prehistoric nutters .we should have nuked the fucking place 10 years ago and saved a lot of lives and money Within a couple of weeks of the withdrawal , the Taliban will return and take back control of the country
then they will set about executing everyone they suspect of collaboration with the west including all the troops and police the west have trained and their families relatives etc !
just read this shit !

How do you pardon a rape VICTIM?
You force the victim to marry him !
that way there’s no crime !
he get’s released and she then gets stoned to death for having premarital sex !
Justice in action !
It’s not like the good old days.
We used to get stoned and then have premarital sex.
Having done that, there wasn’t any point in getting married any more…
Mornin mate
I see the government cutbacks are now starting to hit the quality of the Skid@Mark cartoons as well !
PS ! never thought the words quality and Skid@Mark could ever be in the same sentence !
Today we do it the other way round.
Intercourse first and the stoning becomes a community get together afterwards.
London Muslim’s conspicuously quiet on this one.
Perhaps he’s busy wanking himself silly over how wonderful his religion is.
Follow the £money
If the cartoon was recognisable, it would affect the Monday morning stats.
= no E pson adverts!
There are Epson adverts?
Right. The suspense is killing us all.

These so called cartoons are really the low point of this blog
Did you see that black comedy last night where Cameron had to do the business with a sow. Theresa May fed him with a Viagra beforehand. Needless to say it was Channel 4 and not the beeb. Best prog in years.
If you didn’t see it you must.
Asking other posters not to spoil the story-line
Will Channel 4 be inundated with irate viewers aka the Clarkson “Scandal” ? I thought not !!
I didn’t see it but this ‘sow’ wasn’t Diane Abbott was it?
Chester white one.
Paul Merson wearing a dress, back in his coke addled heyday.
Did someone say Cartoon?
Bliar and Brown should be arrested for detroying England as well. About time a law was passed that stated if you indulge in any of the following you can’t be an MP for England.
1. A Shirt lifter
2. One eyed
3. Scottish
4. Have worn a Nazi uniform
5. Have a serious speech impediment
6. Have a face like a character made from Plasticine.
7. Left-wing, Liberal, Green, or otherwise pro-EU.
Ref your number 6). I put it to you that Morph would have made a much better MP or indeed PM than that maggot Brown.
7 A beard.
8 A fat gut.
9 Speaking as a dwarf.
10 Having a record of destroying rare cacti.
7. Taken Philosophy, Politics and Economics as as a degree – the political equivalent of media studies.
The next Labour prime minister was a protege of Gordon Brown.
Lord help us.

Oh. It’s the only one they have done today.
