A cartoon cannot possibly be the “best response”.
You give Sky News a credit.
Why not the multi award-winning cartoonist, Dave Brown?
Could Labour do better and if so how?
A cartoon cannot possibly be the “best response”
I’m not sure, but there have been cartoons in the past that have been a perfect response Zec “Don’t lose it again” VE cartoon springs to mind
(Not sure this one is in that league)
@ 4 Redfish
I’m not saying it’s bad, I just mean that a cartoon isn’t in-depth enough to address all the issues. Rational debate first, satire second.
This looks so much more like the cover of a news magazine (Spectator/New Statesman etc) than an actual newspaper that I wonder whether something is being prepared. After all, the Independent hasn’t much of a future as it stands.
CG @ 5:
“Rational debate first, satire second.”
Well said. Though Sunny might say ‘Narrative first, satire second’, which boils down to ‘propaganda’.
TJ @ 6: Good point. And the cartoon somehow looks like it was a while in gestation.

Does that go for the cover of the spectator as well.
Does TONE stand for Tony. Love it
That is so clever.
@6. Tim J: “This looks so much more like the cover of a news magazine (Spectator/New Statesman etc) than an actual newspaper that I wonder whether something is being prepared.”
Naah, it was just about splashing a reasonable cartoon on the front page. Under previous ownership and editorship, the Independent used photos in a “wow, fuck me” way. It was like looking at an art gallery catalogue.
Today’s splash was great but there was no way to put that much black ink onto newsprint.
PD @ 8:
“Does that go for the cover of the spectator as well.”
I was not commenting on the Indy cover as such, but on Sunny’s attitude to it.
After this, just possibly there is the prospect of hope and redemption for George Osborne:

I completely agree! After a couple of days reflection – we’ve analysed the Autumn Statement for its political and economic content – here’s our take: http://www.allthatsleft.co.uk/2012/12/george-osborne-five-things-we-learned-or-re-learned-from-the-autumn-statement/
