A tall tale
Wee Books

Probably a robbery
Transphobia
On the nail again, hopefully there will be a sequel “hair today, gone tomorrow”
Some Barnett formula that.
Bad hair day!!! Or Buffoon and Chump day.
As they say over the pond, “Pray Big”.
The stuff of nightmares FFS.Chilling just so chilling.
Nice suits.
Looks like a bad dose of hairpiece!
MajorBloodnok@7.07, you beat me to that one.
At least Trump can tie a Windsor Knot.
Lessons needed at Bullington Club though.
SNP SNP EU
@Major Bloodnok
“Some Barnett formula, that”.
That’s it, thread’s over, MajorBloodnok wins.
Possible future leaders of the Western World.
Though you would think they are cut from the same cloth, I wonder how well would they get on? My own personal view is that Boris would become exasperated with Trump. Sick of the weird outbursts, the stage pantomime entrances and having a right open opinion on absolutely everything without any sensitivity being taken into consideration.
In another way …Boris likes to play the buffoon; Trump is the buffoon without realising it.
And the thing is …it would be absolute irony for Boris. For I can see David Cameron saying at somepoint in the future if both of those men became their elected leaders saying, ‘Well, there you go Boris …now you know what it feels like! This is the sort of nonsense that we had to contend with whenever you appeared.
[…] Future Shocks […]
Archie MacPherson’s global influence ?
The end of the world as we know. BBC certainly absolutely in love with Bojo, Mr Johnson to you, his name shall ring out across their lands and you will vote for him.
Boris was born in the US, in New York I think.
They look like a tag team.
Makes me wonder.
‘Future Shocks’ fuck that’s frightening!
Just had a wee look at your site Chris as I’ve no looked for a wee while. Disnay half bring back some (good and sad) memories lookin at your prints.
There’s no one bad one there but my ultimate fave is ‘oh, yeah?’ we Wee Hamish standing nonchalantly as J.B. thinks it’s gemm over.
I see that and picture Wee Hamish sayin ‘Eh yi fuckin hink so!” (If he was Dundonian like ken). As I’m pretty sure that’s how most of us think, well eh do.
Great stuff as per Chris.
Trump said he’d bring 6000+ jobs to Aberdeen with his greatest golf club in the world, he hasn’t. Trump Balmedie is still a temp club house and car park, a decade later.
President Trump will go after renewable energy in the US but tories like Bojo, sorry, Mr Johnson, have destroyed renewable energy in England and Scotland, reneging entirely on their Carbon Capture at Peterhead vote NO lies and both of their 2010 and 3015 election manifesto fraud and so on.
SLab say Alex Salmond did it.
Ach all the joke quiffs are gone already! 🙂
Nice cartoon.
PS:
Murdo Fraser positively salivating at the prospect of the SNP government now being responsible for future income tax on radio Scotland.
Fabiani being realist in stating that the powers are limited and that money will still be tight due to Barnett an the Tories who are in power cutting budgets etc.
Naw! implies Fraser your feart, put up the taxes, that’ll teach you and shut up!
SNP x 2
Two spoiled toffs who have the wit to hide their darkness under a blond bushel and stupidity.
Then one day you wake up and find the bumbling baffon, is a bumbling baffon no longer, laughing wouldn’t help you then!
That said, round of applause for Major Bloodnoc, best post of the year so far!
A hair-raising prospect. They would likely gel together though.
Trump governing America, Boris governing the UK, and the BBC governing Scotland.
Think they may need some syrup of figs 🙂
Splendid caricature of BawJaws!
It is truly frightening.
A Sanders/Corbyn combo would be the antidote but sadly the majority see this as too extreme in the other direction. This is of course due to the brainwashing by MSM.
But did Tharg predict this?
Gideon and the Tories promised to clear the country’s dept during the last term in government, then with yet another round of cuts
he promised to do it this term.
He obviously has no idea about economic projections and so he is
looking to make still further cuts.
Thank goodness its ordinary hard working people who can pay for political and financial incompetence.
I would hate to see RBS and the other casino bankers having to pay for their own mismanaged greed, or Google having to pay Tax at 3%, or even £Billion companies like Amazon have to pay any Tax.
“Vote Westminster and remove all your money worries!”
They will take it all from you and help out the rich.
Fantastic drawing of the two megalomaniac clowns.
Remember the Donald Trump meme ‘There will be hell toupee’?
I don’t like Boris’s politics, but he is not a stupid as he looks.
I don’t like Trump’s politics, and he is.
@callmedave Scot gov could always ‘save’ money by giving control of council taxes to councils whilst maintaining their contributions at current levels. They’d be giving Labour and Greens what they have been calling for (when it suits them) whilst giving councils the same choice the UK government has given them.
The Scot Gov wouldn’t be raising the tax it would be the council. Would also give the Tories the chance to lower tax without reducing services and the only ones they’d be able to blame (in a real world not UKOKBC land) if it went pear shaped would be themselves.
…and both will probably win 🙁
Proof that the plural of bouffant is buffoons.
O/T
I was going to write to the DG of the BBC to give support to the Scottish 6, then I thought, the BBC is the best recruiting Sargent we have. Now I am in pondering what to do next?
An hour of propaganda from the BBC might be great if you a a brain dead UKOK baffon, as the standard of buffoonery writing in so far, as evidenced by the revs Twitter feed links to the newspapers. For me it just fills me with dread.
GB is a struggle sometimes, the very week when cover up and criminal conspiracy is evidenced in the BBC, we get, “oh the BBC is not biased”. We live in a nation where 50% of the population want to leave Westminster control and we have no voice on the broadcasting media. Instead we have a PM who meets with broadcasting executives to limit individual programs, really how many times has this happened?
Honestly the 6 is a sop, an irrelevant distraction, crumbs from the table are now an insult, stick your 6, and stick you political wing, political journalists my arse, propaganda merchants more like, up you jumpers.
We need to control our own broadcasting system, if we don’t get that then the calls for a complete boycott of the license fee in Scotland will be inevitable, and justified!
Now that’s a letter we should all write to the DG of the BBC.
The Shocks wie the Locks
Captured they,re likeness to a T Chris, is Goofyness ah word lol.
Hair today, gone tomorrow.
Somewhere in the middle, a sense of ‘dread’.
Andrew McLean
There is an organised Unionist campaign against Scottish Six
Wingers should write to The Scotsman countering this Scottish Six polemic from Brian Wilson
link to archive.is
We should counter this and the serial SNPbaaad letter writers who dominate the print edition by emailing letters page at lettersts@scotsman.com including your address and phone number.
We can’t allow those with no ambition for Scotland to win the propaganda battle.
On the bbc’s ‘newswatch’ (half a) programme, earlier…
..Mention of proposed ‘scottish six’..
BUT WHY..
..in a program about balance and fair reporting..
..ONLY QUOTE ONE ‘VIEWER’ with preference for the status quo?
My twopenceworth –
“Oh what tangled hair we weave when first we practice to deceive.”
2 x SNP + 1 x IN
Another Union
Yes, but the Scotsman is a doyen of nuts. More traction writing to the organisation it’s self, the organ grinder not the monkey.?
Killing the Scotsman by lack of klickbate is easy.
Indeed, the pro UK media, may win the propaganda battle by definition..
But deep down… once the mud dries…the truth will always be there.
Don’t the propagandists realise that, not long from now, forensic archaeologists (real journalists working for the betterment of democratic society) will dig up their lies and lay charges of corruption at their future houses.
The truth itself has dug in. Come ahead.
Sc-hairy
In any case cumbs are too little to late, the conversation has moved on to who controls the license fee and expenditure in Scotland where its raised.
No taxation without representation, now what happened when that tune was last sung?
Soar Alba
Comoan Rev the Merchandise Shop needs new stock.
Barnett Anti Static Comb, per chancety.
( Major Bloodnok gets the credits fur that & a free comb )
“Suicide Blonde” was a hit for the band INXS the opening words are.
“Don’t you know what you’re doing
You’ve got a death wish”
Seems apt!
BBC Scotland showed Rugby instead of ‘Shetland’. It could have been shown on BBC 2.
Thanks Chris. I love the way the eyes belie the baby faces.
The best I’ve heard on Trump is that the US needs immigrants to do the jobs Americans won’t, … like marry Trump!
They look like they’re auditioning for “The Hunger Games”. I didn’t realise that was a documentary.
Writing to the press, The National excepted, is like a junkie tipping his dealers every time he scores.
Shocking waves!
Thanks Chris, like the way you have given Trump a Winsor knot and BoJo a Four-in-hand knot. When I was a youngster Officers and Gentlemen and schoolboys tied their ties using the Four-in-hand knot whereas the military lower ranks used the Winsor knot.
The ten stories about Trump you won’t believe are true.

The absolute king of shear brass neckery.

“Writing to the press, The National excepted, is like a junkie tipping his dealers every time he scores.”
You are wrong as we do need good men to do something to place doubts in the minds of unionists and those neutrals who only buy The Scotsman for the death notices.
Brings a whole new meaning to ‘entanglement’ ‘wormholes’ and ‘tubes’
Boris was born in America.
Which makes him eligible to stand for president.
If only.
Nice one Chris 🙂
Two woman in the beauty parlour ‘can you bleach our assholes’ ?
Sinky
SNP, ACCUSED, SNP HYPOCRITES, SNP POLICE PROBE, SNP DEATH STAR, SNP MP PROBE, SNP FAILURE, SNP LIES, SNP BANKRUPT, SNP BAAAAAAAAAAAD
So the little trolls salivating over there sticky keyboard, half empty bottle of scotch and a empty pack of cigarettes by their side, waiting for next weeks pension to arrive, salute the queen and type their hatred of their own country and it’s people. Manifesting their own self loathing and disgust into ever line.
Only stupid old fools racked by their abundance of bile buy the Scotsman, that’s a fact, ask the staff, they know who their readers are. Yesterday’s men, with yesterday’s beliefs.
Reading the Scottish press is like stepping on shite when walking through a beautiful park, best not linger longer than needs must, then raise your eyes to the panoramic scene ahead and think no more of your unfortunate encounter.
Thanks for the offer lads but the argument of writing into the Scotsman to find a rational conversion is as fruitful as discussing Max Planks relativistic quantum field theory with an inebriated baboon.
Correction relativistic quantum field theory was postulated by Heisenberg, now that’s what you get for being a smart ass! 🙂
Seriously ‘Hairy Scary’ !! And I do mean seriously!!!!
Joined at the hairgrip.
Brilliant Chris. Technically one of your best yet.
As I posted earlier, it doesn’t bode well for male politico hairstyles for the future.
If it tempts Brillo into politics which party do you think he would go for?
All the best quips have been claimed already but…
‘Neon Nasties’
‘Anglo-American Hedge Enema’
Hallowed are the Ori
We must convert and follow the path of Origin
Or they’ll blow us up, at the very least bully us a lot
erm,… perhaps more conotationally apropos:
‘Blonde leading the blonde’
‘Blonde Brothers’
Nae chance. Folk are nae so daft as them.
It’s great watching them tearing themselves to bit. Lying hypocrites. Soap opera. Dope on a rope.
Give them enough rope. Self combustion time.
Toupee or not toupee … both serial womanisers. There has to be a surfer joke in those waves.
Your weekend entertainment

OT but important.
The Sun UK edition says the Tories are planning MORE cuts for us next month!
“It followed five years of spending cuts aimed at slashing a massive deficit left by Labour.”
We didn’t vote for them,and the NO voters must be feeling kind of Bettertogether nauseated. 🙁
CUE: enter stage right Ruth Davidson and Kezia Dugdale—-they told us we’re Bettertogether and to VOTE NO!!!!!
On yer bike. 🙁

A new (un)reality TV show beckons:
‘Have I Got Nukes for You to be Fired’
Featuring a one off ‘and finally’ item.
They look like a couple of late 18th Century Dandies. If they were about then, no doubt they would be in the Macaroni Club, drinking and gambling. Perhaps followed by an evening in a Molly House?
Stephen.
@Grouse Beater
Aye there is one:
‘Surfer’ all the daft voters to come unto me, don’t hinder them for the kingdom of …. Aye right!
PS: The Sun
I was filling my partner’s car with petrol this morning at the shell station in Glenrothes (she collects the points) and this young man strides out the shop waxing lyrical to me about his ‘free’ Sun.
He was genuinely chuffed “You don’t get much for nothing these days” he beamed on the passing.
“Aye your right there I replied” as I got to the £20 mark (she’s thrifty my partner) and gave him a smile. Off he went in his wee lorry with somebody’s sofa on the back.
“Did you get your free Sun” I asked her on her return…
“Who gets the Sun” even if it’s free she said… “anyway how did you know it was free”? …nuff said!

Both of them are not big fans of TUPE agreements.
Meanwhile, in our forthcoming Scottish election, we have just received John Scott’s election leaflet. Four pages extolling the work that John has done for the community, including his campaign efforts for Vote No in the indyref.
Lots of nice shots of John at local events, stats of his contacts with constituents, but the only hint that he is a Conservative candidate is a shot of him with the tank commander.
John is the current constituency MSP for Ayr. The strategy seems clear, avoid any reference to the Conservative party in any communication with the public.
Great to be proud of your political beliefs, isn’t it John?
Splendid image of Michael Gove over on WOS Twitter, all kitted-up to Clean For The Queen.
Huzzah!
We can all do our bit – make sure your arse is squeaky clean for Liz and send her photographic proof.

Fantastic depiction of the two ‘statesmen’ Chris.
Thanks.

Hi Guys ,thanks for the welcome.
I have just read the Fiscal Agreement and understand every word of it perfectly (joking of course)
I read/ heard that there was supposed to be other bribes sorry “goodies” road signs, powers of Scottish courts etc. but haven’t see any evidence of this so far ?????
Anyway thanks for the welcome. Its good to know that we are one of the most powerful devolved in the World..Well apart from the Australian States, the United States, the German Lander and the Canadian Provence’s.
