TOON TUESDAY #99

Starmer was given a relatively easy ride last week, with most cartoonists choosing to focus on the Middle East.  There were also plenty of space travel references with regards to the Artemis mission to the far side of the Moon.

And so we begin with negotiations on the disastrous Iran conflict that is dismantling Trump's presidency and the movement he created, raised the cost of living for every single family across the entire West, killed thousands of Iranian civilians (including over a hundred schoolchildren in a single strike) and achieved nothing discernibly positive.  Nobody wins...

MEME MONDAY #76

The scourge of Islamism remained at the forefront of last week's array of memes.  We may as well pump them out before we are locked up for 'Islamophobia'...

Mon 23 Mar - 216 shares.  One week on there have been no charges in relation to
the Golders Green arson.  A little odd for such a high profile incident
Mon 23 Mar - 123 shares.  Velleman is also involved in Marxist group
Hope Not Hate, which gets most of its funding from trade unions and has
close ties to the Labour party.  Interesting to note that despite Netanyahu's
wars currently raging across the Middle East, Velleman's parents somehow
managed to fly in from Israel for the sentencing
Mon 23 Mar.  The algorithm didn't like this emoji poll and
distribution was limited.  Of the few who responded, 93 opted
for the angry emoji against 31 deluded souls for the teary emoji
Tue 24 Mar - 1 share
Tue 24 Mar - 76 shares
Thu 26 Mar - 9 shares.  One wonders whether the wee man is angling for a spot
on the Westminster gravy train through his new best pal Zack
Thu 26 Mar - 225 shares
Fri 27 Mar - 358 shares.  Best comment hands down - "I thought
that was the FA Cup for a second"
Sat 28 Mar - 166 shares
Sat 28 Mar - 249 shares.  Rayner remains the front runner in betting markets to
succeed Starmer, although the Labour leadership process takes so long that it
could be the autumn before Starmer's successor is confirmed (assuming he
resigns in May, as expected)
Sat 28 Mar - 92 shares.  The Met always downplay attendances, but the
comparison between their estimates in terms of Saturday's clown show against
Yaxley-Lennon's 'Unite the Kingdom' are damning for the left.  As has been shown
by their lacklustre counter-protests in recent years, the left can no longer
mobilise the numbers they once did
Sun 29 Mar - 77 shares.  Some questioned the accuracy of this meme,
but Karl did his research.  Western Europe is changing alarmingly fast and
burying one's head in the sand helps no-one but the colonists

Five Facebook Stories were published last week, including another alternative design for the 'Diversity Is Strength' series.  Karl feels that the Pepe Clown World design is not quite appropriate for some of the worse crimes.

TOON TUESDAY #96

The war on Iran and its consequences dominated last week's toons, with some artists bringing Angela Rayner's insurgency into the equation.  Rayner reportedly delivered a damning speech to Labour activists in a Westminster boozer last week, albeit she did not actually name the dear leader she was obliterating.  The following quote appears to suggest she is very much gearing up for a leadership challenge after May's looming electoral disaster:  "The very survival of the Labour party is at stake.  As a party and a movement we cannot hide, we cannot go through the motions in the face of decline.  We are running out of time."

Downing Street refused to comment.

Are we ready for Rayner?  God help us...

MEME MONDAY #75

Last week was very much oriented towards Islam, thanks to a social media post from unexpected quarters.  It did not come from Reform or Restore or Tommy Robinstein - it was from the front bench of the blue wing of the Uniparty.  Nick Timothy, a Suffolk MP elected in 2024, lambasted the mass prayer event in Trafalgar Square and - equally surprising - his party leader resisted calls from Chairman Starmer and co to sack him.

Times they are a changing...

Mon 16 Mar - 20 shares.  Sometimes Karl is just very silly
Mon 16 Mar - 12 shares
Tue 17 Mar - 22 shares.  The wee Slavic beggar was back in town
Wed 18 Mar - 45 shares
Thu 19 Mar - 92 shares
Fri 20 Mar - 489 shares.  It never ceases to amaze how so many of the same
people who have spent years condemning the war on Iraq, have swung so
vociferously in support of the war on Iran.  Some of the comments on this
post were nothing short of retarded
Fri 20 Mar - 53 shares
Sat 21 Mar - 624 shares.  Good riddance, Marty
Sat 21 Mar - 41 shares
Sun 22 Mar - 79 shares

Six Facebook Stories were published throughout the week, including a new alternative design for the 'Diversity is Strength' series...
