23 Feb 16 - 09:37 AM (#3774523) Subject: BS: Today's Times political cartoon From: MGM·Lion ... by Peter Brookes, under a strapline reading "By your friends shall you be known...", shows Boris Johnson as a sheepdog embracing Nigel Farage's leg, while a trilby-hatted grey bearded man holding a cigar & a glass of whisky sez "Me next, Bozza". I shame to appear so out-of-touch with current affairs; but who is this guy meant to be? Help welcome, please, for the helpless ≈M≈ |

23 Feb 16 - 10:20 AM (#3774535) Subject: RE: BS: Today's Times political cartoon From: MGM·Lion Ah, thank you. It does appear to be the egregious Galloway, judging by his wikipedia picture. Not sure what the point being made is, tho! Has Galloway been trying to recruit B Johnson to something-or-other, then, or what? & what particular form of obsequiousness has Johnson been offering Farage? I am not a lover of Brookes's work, as it happens. He draws like an angel, but I find his point often [as here] somewhat obscure. & he loves to fill his drawings with far too much shit -- I mean literally: he draws excrement at any & every opportunity. I have complained several times to their Reader Feedback service about this, & have been told by them on enquiring that I am far from the only such objector. I just wish I didn't find the Times's one the most satisfactory daily crossword, & their letters page generally the most engaging. & old habits die hard. I have been a Times reader since those far-off days, way back in antiquity, when it was a paper for a gentleman to read! back before that bloody Oz got hold of it and handed it over to Charlie Gorbals to ruin. Eheu! ≈M≈ |

I suppose, Guesticles, that were I to criticise David Cameron in any way at all, for overseeing the destruction of the NHS shall we say, you'd accuse me of anti-Etonianism.
