Wow! Not sure whether liking the cartoon constitutes an offence in itself, but the cartoon certainly does. If this were - say - the Israeli Government lined up in a similar form, then I have no doubt the cartoonist and Times editor would be on their way to Belmarsh by now.
Turns out that being a raging TERF isn't the vote-winner JK Rowling thinks it is Maybe something to consider for Sunak and Starmer...
This is Jared Bernstein in the USA he is the chair of their Council of Economic Advisers. This is the main agency advising Biden economic policy. Apparently he was a Jazz bass player and a progressive so I don't feel as strongly against him as I was at first impression. I can go with a bass player advising the government how to spend the peoples money. Beats an economist, we have seen their track records.
The Grauniad sacked their cartoonist for less Of course, that cartoon was daring to suggest Benny the Blackshirt might not be a good person...
As a member of the SNP I obviously don't like the cartoon but I don't want it banned. It's always good to see others opinions and much safer to have arseholes exposed rather than hidden and making nasty smells.
There has to be limits though surely? Lynching politicians - even if you disagree with them, steps over that line. And I get your argument, but we are not talking about some closet keyboard warrior on social media - this is a cartoon in one of the most 'respected' (I use the term advisably) newspapers worldwide.
No. the limits should be decided by the observers. Do you want our politicians to decide who can print what? **** that. If you are offended that's you problem, people have the right to be offensive. We live now in the age of the internet that gives us the chance to trawl for the truth and now at last we can see the liars for what they are.
Not unusual for a bass player to have a skewed view of finance. Most I know spend money they haven't got on yet another bass....
Hmm, where have I seen these exact same tactics before ...oh wait, now I remember please log in to view this image
