Politoons News edition 3, for the week ending 28th of November 2012

David Beckham is ready for his next big challenge, its not all D and G, and underwear for the greatest well- groomed sportsman who ever lived (in Leytonstone)

As the government announces that a Canadian will take over at the bank of England, and the prime minister returns from agreeing with Germany, the British parliament also returns to the matter of running the country…

Having fought long and hard to give consumers choice, the government decided that there was in the end, too much choice. Energy companies have responded by reducing the choice of different tariffs customers can be ripped off with, and at the same time has made them easier to understand for the modern end user.

In other breaking energy news, the department for employment has joined up some services in some joined up thinking, opening up the jobs market, and beating  UKIP at their own game of demanding the removal of Wind Farms from the Countryside Alliance (sorry that should just read ‘countryside’, full stop). Dispensing with minimum wage, and even living wage concepts, Ian Duncan Smith has announced a brand new work scheme for young people based on the ‘survival wage’ concept currently used in what was once known in the UK as the ‘Third World’, (now known as ‘many deprived areas of Britain’).

Lastly, another UK first, as this group of young British Trick or Treaters won the Scariest Halloween costume  Prize of 2012 with their ingenious disguises…

Politoons in the news this week- edition 2, November 19th, 2012

Ex deputy, ex attack dog, ex gigolo, ex punchbag, ex old labour, ex new labour ex socialist turned socialite, John Prescott loses the ‘hardly fought and no one turned up to vote anyway’ police commissioner post for Hull and Humberside. Some other party’s ex-pen pusher looking for a well paid job as a yes man won on second votes (don’t ask me, I just work here), and is now preparing to do what he’s told, sack loads of people, and  privatize yet another community service.

So, Prezza the Poundstretcha finds himself back in the dole queue along with millions of others across the country, pondering what a benefit cap is and who one is meant to doff it to.

Meanwhile, the Eurozone continues to unravel its rescue plan, which turns out to be a political tightrope that is just long enough to… well lets just hope for the best.

While Israel shells the shoot out of a narrow strip of beach on the south coast that belongs to someone else, in the hope of popping the clogs of someone who is trying to pop the clogs of said Israelis. (needless to say, the Dutch are furious at this metaphoric misuse of a national symbol)

That’s it for this week. For more, check out volume one of The Cod Philosophy (available from Lulu) with its section on the Political World below.

Politoons in the news this week, edition 1 – November 3rd to 10th, 2012

A fungal disease attacking British Ash trees made the news this week, while the British prime minister accused the media of encouraging a witch hunt against the Tory party (in contrast to Work and Pensions Minister Ian Duncan’ Smith’s witch hunts against poor people). All this began to overtake the underlying story about a dead pervert with inexcusable dress sense.

There’s a new collection of over 100 satirical cartoons – just in time for xmas:
The Cod Philosophy of MacD fits his world view through the windows of your soul, because it simply won’t fit through the front door. This collection comes flatpacked with no instructions and a screw loose in the hope that it can squeeze a few thoughts between the cracks in reality and smear a little joy juice over the sticky pages of pessimism.
