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.”
Focus group time. says:
The thing that Dave needs to work out is which group is more likely to vote Conservative. Mad swivel-eyed loons or mad homosexuals wishing to get married.
Is it David Bellamy?
Frank Dobson ?
hope boys and girls in the city are wide awake today
Got to be. The twat was quite innocent compared with the vultures of nowadays.
Despite a series of senior political posts Dobson still lived in a rent subsidised apartment in a very nice area of central London. He’s as greedy as the rest of them.
Regulation of the banking system. I hope they have had permission off MAGGIE, her Government started the Gambling machine and allowed the Fraud on Endowment mortagages debacle, The legislation to steal Private Pension Pots. OH how that Lean company Taxation legislation and the running of the FTSE 100 Companies by a bunch of yes SIR.
Funnier than M & R
The Fraudster Political Class have bankrupt the countries banking system. He he he. Oh What a massive shame for the whole UK Europe USA Ponsi Scheme War Mongers. Bliar didn’t work that his Police State Phoney Drug war would collapse when the OIL price rocketed and sucked the spare cash out of the economy, destroying private businesses. Thought they are clever when OIL got to $147 a barrel and made the exchequer 36 billion in 2006.
Should have listened to Churchill, Better to Jaw Jaw than to War War.
Endowment mortgages?
Been around since the 70′s at least. Must try harder.
Labour lost. Get over it.
The whole lot are a Shower of Shit. I wouldn’t Vote for any of the Scum Bags. The whole ponsi self serving State is going to collapse around its own ears. It wont take a revolution, as we have already had one. The one that destroyed the rule of LAW and the sanctions that would have held these self serving State sponsored Terrorists to account. Maggie, Bliar, Mandelsoum Cameroon. Milibum All the Same. Dont any one of you get it.
WTF is this toon supposed to mean? and who is the bloke in the red togs?
Santa.
But why would Santa hack a missing girl’s phone. He needs a delivery address.
What? You mean he only looks like Santa. But whilst he knows that NoW have been blamed for this, he is really Plod and ain’t saying nothin’?
Uncle Albert from Only Fools and Horses. Must be softening us up for yet another unfunny Christmas special.
WHO ME ?
http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/08_02/uncalbertDM1308_468x376.jpg
Well grappul me grapenuts.
No it’s me.
*yawn* ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Best one yet
You are on drugs, right?
*Rick and Mark in disguise*
no. no; it might indeed be their best one yet.
are you really saying that somewhere out there is a good one?
If you support the theory of an infinite number of parallel universes, there’s a remote chance that yes, somewhere there’s a good one.
It is inadvisable to make claims for which there appеar to be no grounds.
There’s not a lot of coffee in Brazil.
…..
No, I guess you’re right.
I should cocoa!
No! Don’t start me….
Is it Xmas already?, doesn’t time fly while your trying to guess what the heck an R&M cartoon is about.
It has something to do with phone hacking and lists, could it be Guido having had news that the Guardian dropped a whoopsie by saying NI deleted phone messages, a sort of gotcha, beyond that I am as baffled as you.
Is it Frank Dobson ?
er spooky (same time)
It’s Vince
Poor depiction of Vince Cable
Why is it tagged Cartoon?
In case we think it’s just the random scribblings of a deranged mind?
Oh, wait – it’s Rich and Mark.
It’s got to be someone in the public sector.
He can still afford a cup of cocoa.
Because it’s a preparatory drawing for a piece of non-realistic art in the hope it will be satirical or humorous.
Is it Billy Bowden the greatest umpire ever?
Nah. Peter Willey is without doubt the greatest umpire ever.
I like Willey too.
Brent Fraser Bowden has just given you the crooked finger of death…
You like everyone with that name, after all you are a Willy
Even funnier than I. Oh Rich and Mark. Can’t wait to meet you guys.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
Is it Brian Blessed?
What colour sleigh might that be?
Why is Oliver Reed drinking cocoa?
I thought it was James Robertson Justice, then again I have been watching GOLD all weekend
Leverson recommends a ‘Santa clause’..
as J Chief a loophole (legal egal) once said : de sanna de clause !
So do I.
So do I.
A ‘sanitary clause’ should really clean things up..
Not in the NHS it wouldn’t.
Heres one for discussion during trekkie fans coffe break tommorow .:)
Having just watched J J Abrams re imagine of star trek this evening as excellent as it was , did anyone consider that the romulans were a bit thick ?, having travelled through a singularity back 25yrs as there planet had been wiped out by said supernova which spock was just too late to save in his super advanced craft , why didnt they just zoom of to romulus and tell them to evacuate planet in 24 yrs time ? been a lot less trouble all round in my view .
I mean what ave the romulans ever done for us !
appart from the aqueducts , sanitation ,roads ………… Ill get me coat
Very good point , they could have told the Romulans to evacuate.
Wouldn’t have made any difference though, it was the Klingon world that blew up.
Why does the Rich and Mark section keep turning into a trecky convention?
Live long and prosper Mr Machine.
Ah b*gger! it was Romulus.
I’m not a full time trecky, I only wear the outfits on occasional bank holidays.
Something to do with fixed points in time & the Blinovitch limitation effect
The great mystery of the…Star Trek franchise is how…they let me get…away with all that hammy…acting; I…chewed up more…scenery than…a swarm of…termites.
And I still don’t get why Kirk, Spock and McCoy always beamed down to the planet, leaving a half-drunk Scotsman in charge, who kinna ge’ th’ ship up ta warrrp-speed when we needed to haul ass, because “she could blow apart–the ol’ girl’s nae built forrr tha’ kind-a acceleration, Cahptain!”
And how did a Captain from the Bordeaux Region spe*k more plummy English than most British?
And how did the Klingons manage to evolve ridged foreheads in 20 years?
Not that I really gave a shit about any of this, mind you– hey, it was a god-damned paycheck, and I cashed in; got a problem with that?
Saw a prog about the space shuttle earlier, there was some guy in that who looked just like a Klingon. Is there something NASA’s not telling us ?
Star Trek – the “Crossroads” of Space Opera
There was another problem with the plot – having arrived at Romulas too late, didn’t Spock try to stop the supernova after it had already destroyed Romulus?
On the bright side, at least J J Abrams didn’t fill every moment of the film with random music from his iTunes collection. (If you’ve ever seen his execrable Alias series, you’ll know what I mean.)
It’s the Rt Hon Lord Justice Brian Leveson with a false beard; since he already has the red robes, all he needed was the facial hair to effect the Father Christmas transformation. The “NotW” on the lists– who’s “naughty,” who’s “nice,” determined well in advance of Dec 25– is the dead giveaway.
Beeb reporting Kim Jong Il has died!
I told you I was il.
Classic.
I salute you, sir.
Yes. Brilliant.
Kim Jong Il will be succeeded by Kim Jong Un.
Just how long
Will it take Jong Un
To become a wrong ‘un?
Maybe with a bit of luck he will turn out to be Kim Jon Cinq.
(You rike my Flench pun?)
Ich bin seit sechs warten.
Gehen Sie weiter, sagen, dass es in latin.
Police had to keep an unruly crowd away from Kim’s corpse lest those starving Koreans resort to cannibalism. (Unconfirmed reports say the crowd wouldn’t have got much, as the police had already helped themselves.)
The world is now a little safer. now if Santa could arrange a similar fate for the mad mullahs of Iran….
I expect the old boy would be a bit stringy at 69.
Still, plenty of fat to chew over.
What a shit cartoon. Good that alcoholic Christmas oblivion will rid it of my mind shortly
Christmas repeats of Uncle Albert in Only Fools and Horses will remind you of it though.
Christmas repeаts of Uncle Albert in Only Fools and Horses will remind you of it though.
BTW, why doesn’t Guido spend less time down the pub and get his fucking mod sorted?
I’m so ronery.
Is it Sally Bercow doing a handstand?
It’s Piers Morgan in disguise preparing for Leveson.
would I look good with a beard?
I thought you had one already?
What’s that in the mug?
Osama Bin LadenMohammur GhadaffiKim Jong IlMugabe would round the year off nicely…
Good things come in threes as my mother used to say. Mind you she said all manner of utter bollocks so we might yet get lucky.
Add Brown, Bliar and Campbell and 2011 would be a great year.
I would prefer to see all three of these in front of a jury first
Guilty. The sentence is ‘death’.
Jesus-fucking-Christ.
Leave my £200 alone its feezing here at the moment.
You’ll need it to buy a train ticket to the evacuation ports when the balloon finally goes up.
not according to the EU socialists Dave will give us another 23 billion FFS
Not if he wants to be re-elected he won’t
He would go from being the bravest to the dumbest over night !
You little English pig-bastards, you are le scum de la Monde!
How we hate you! All of you! We French spit in your little English faces!
By the way, can we have another 25 billion quid?
Yeah and you can send your French ‘project managers’ bedding in at RR Associates to pass on UK/ American Nuc Subs details home as well!
Uncle Sam has not been impressed.
What do the French really want from the UK in this Eurozone crisis? The papers today say EU officials want UK taxpayers to contribute 30 billion euro to the new eurozone bail-out Fund at the IMF, the same amount as French taxpayers.
Sarkozy also knows the UK alone would pay up to 80% of the total Europe-wide financial-transactions tax, which the EU Commission says would raise 57 billon euros per year to help pay down eurozone country sovereign debt.
So really, France wants the UK to pay a disproportionate share of the euro-zone “rescue”. Sarkozy actually claimed “victory” manoeuvring the UK into that isolated position at the last EU Summit, claiming the euro crisis was caused by London-based financial markets and not eurozone countries living beyond their means.
It is extortion in the grand tradition of the French farce.
It is certainly not about solidarity, fairness and pulling together in a crisis – as our dear, but tragically naive Nick Clegg would have UK taxpayer believe. By singing Sarkozy’s tune Clegg obscures the real issue for UK taxpayers and voters – who created eurozone sovereign debt crisis and who must now pay. Prior to 1904’s entente cordiale that would have been labelled a treasonous act. Non?
Why does the BBC insist on giving us the opinions of failed Liebore politicians on the current economic situation when they are the ones who got us into the situation in the first place?
Possibly because the ‘journalists’ are lazy scum who learned their craft by re-writing press releases under the last government. They do not have any contacts outside their own tiny echo socialist echo-chamber.

Ripped off from The Spectator which was wittier.
Ed is going to the funeral
yvette cobblers spouting off in the mail on border controls does this boot ugly, stupid minger think we don’t remember who opened the borders to all the foreign shite in the first place!
North Koreans are just big cry babies !
no clip yet available covering the death of Kim jong-il, apparently he was the world’s greatest golfer, 7 hole-in-ones during a round of golf
the feat was apparently witnessed by 17 or so of his bodyguards; so it must be true
Must have cost him a bob or two at the nineteenth.
Apparently he hadn’t latched onto coffee as a money-maker :

No shit?
Woe is me ! My role model is dead !
Thank fook next monday is a bank holiday and the toon boys will be too full of Christmas pud to draw anything.
Is Steve Kean the Gordon Brown or Ed Miliband of premiership football?
Who are Browm 7 Miliband?
Who are Brown and Miliband? ( if at first…)
That doesn’t look like Ed Balls
Why does Wiki say my birth name was Yuri Irsenovich Kim ?
I think it’s time that these cartoons had a written explanation to save valuable time trying to guess what they’re about.
My cv is in the post. Is North Korea near Aberdeen?
