Probably a robbery
Transphobia
That’s a keeper, Chris.
Brilliant!
The superlatives just keep on coming!
Brilliant cartoon, so well modelled.
The parable of the Talons.
So good i’m going to use it as my wallpaper.
If this is the talent of the tory party we are an independent country soon.
So true, how these barstewards will strip everything to the bone with incredible shelfeshness.
British Politics is about to show Maggie as being to soft & caring.
OMFG , what has the 2014 NO vote done?
They’ve picked the bones of John Bull RIP. Hitler could not have choosen a more evil gaggle of bastards.
Vulture capitalists right enough
Tory Luncheon Vultures!
Birds of a feather flog and tether!
Cuckoos do steal the nests belonging to others.
The English electorate are Ostriches with their heads in the sand who think Europe can’t see just where they are.
Magpies stealing all that glitters for their own nest.
Tits having a Lark.
Turkeys voting for Xmas.
Get the Tories to Flock
The sky over London is darkening with all the carrion crows and vultures circling overhead. Lovely clear bright air up here though. Let’s keep it that way.
Excellent summary Chris.

Vulture capitalists right enough
Nice one!
Every single member of the cabinet should be in jail. Without exception, each and every one has previous convictions, a record of shady deals, corruption, releasing state secrets, colluding with foreign security agents, against UK interests, fiddling expenses, being sacked whilst in office or a ‘normal’ job, multiple, multiple times.
And then on top of all that we have the clown prime minster, a man with NO democratic mandate, a man repeatedly sacked from multiple jobs, over and over again, a man who lied in pretty much every single job he has had, a man so immersed in corruption and serial lying, he likely no longer knows what the truth really is.
Hey, gobs*te, do-nothing Tory, Davidson, these are YOUR people. Enjoy.
I fully expect the mainstream media to point these FACTS out, at each and every turn ,and in every single interview with them. Not.
Jim Marlene at 0742am,
Excellent phrase, vulture capitalists.
Oh my, Chris, that’s a lot of work.
Amazing!
Farage in the USA fundraising. Boris and Trump putting deals together for the take over of Britain.
We are heading for Charles Dickens land at a great rate. Scotland must now fly the nest.
As the ravening raptors gather we are so past the talking stage.

To paraphrase a Johnsonism…Fuck Brexit!
Sadly ,this is no longer funny.
When they run out of corpses to feed on, watch them turn on each other.
It would be great to watch if the repercussions weren’t so dire. How many are waiting to stab Johnson in the back as soon as they get the chance? Just imagine what PM Patel would be like.
I bet, behind the scenes, the advisers to Boris, the clown prime minister, must be repeatedly saying to him, ‘Look, Boris, no matter whatever you want to say, in interviews or speeches or whatever, please, please, please DO NOT EVER use the phrase ‘Make Britain great again’.
Seriously, you just know the clown prime minister desperately wants to say it. It’s going to happen.
The Anlgo-American New Right in Britain, spearheaded by none less than Enoch Powell, found strong allies among the social Darwinism fostered by Britain’s class system.

RIP John Bull. Let’s hope Hamish was sharp enough to lace his carcass with diclofenac.
And if that French stuff isn’t to your taste, here’s some good-old British stuff.
Brexit has its roots in the British Empire – so how do
we explain it to the young?
The EU referendum is the last throes of Empire
working its way out of our systems.
BY SALLY TOMLINSON AND DANNY DORLING

A great work of art Chris. A masterpiece!
Make England Great Again – surely.
Capella,
Exactly. Make ‘ENGLAND’ great again. Although to these lying hits, Britain=England=Britain.
If, perchance, an Autumn Westminster general election is called it ought to be, for Scotland, an independence GE. A majority of seats, a majority of the electoral vote and that’s it, done!
The diversionary, temporising contexts of ‘is it legal, is it constitutional, is it democratic’, no more.
We need to drive a tank through these ‘death eaters’.
@Robert Louis
The Turkish language press greeted, without exception, Johnson‘s election as ‘England’s Prime Minister’.
An article in the newspaper Hürriyet actually had a piece on Sturgeon and Scotland. She was in favour of Scotland’s independence from England apparently, mainly because of Brexit.
We may not like the tone but the gut feeling is that the Turkish press has got it right. We are struggling to be free of England and the Brexit business has become, under Sturgeon, its motivating rationale.
Re CameronB Brodie @8:41am
The tomlinson and dorling article is an interesting read. Short, accessible and informative.
Recommended because it neatly captures the delusions of superiority required to conquer and sustain an empire, and how those delusions still exist deep in the conciousness of British people.
Thanks, Cameron.
Carrion Brexit. 🙂
Up the bloody Khyber. 🙁
Another very good example of how powerful visual images can be.
Funny that I have never ever seen one of the lorry loads and train loads of pound coins that continue to pour south across the border with a wee Scotsman or two scrabbling around in the muck for the odd coin that fall off the southbound trucks to ingland.

Sister Jackda
So the Moggy pontificates that all we common people be referred to as esquire.
Well here’s a wee message to The Moggy, from now on you will be referred to as, “Hey you”, as befits an elected servant of the people.
You are not the master and we the servants – you are appointed by us as our servant and it is time you knew your place.
Johnson is laying his cards down, he appoints a MP from an English constituency to mark his ground. He believes he owns us and intends to bring the Scots to heal, not by persuasion but by force. They are now like wounded animals ready to strike out at any attempt to further demean them, even if they brought the situation on themselves.
Jest as a sample one of their Leave journalists (Richard Littledick I think) has a full blown attack on Ireland and threatens them with ‘serious consequences’.
Alister Jackdaw isn’t important enough to perch wi’ the vultures.
Is what my 9:28 was meant to say.
You are one very talented guy, Chris. Congrats on another brilliant cartoon. And while your doing all the work on this site, I don’t see the other one, you know, the religious guy, doing very much, frankly. Still, on we go. Well done, Chris.

Those vultures are full of Bull.
Hahaha Just imagine all the shittings!!!
Where’s a golden eagle when you need one? 😀 😀
Hanging with Priti Patel.
The tweet linked-to below has a clip from the ‘Portillo & Guests’ episode where indy was discussed. McLeish and Michael Fry were two of the guests.
It’s only 14 mins or so and the full version isn’t on YT. BBC say it ‘isn’t available’.
Did anyone happen to make a copy?
I don’t remember ever seeing it here on Wings but it’s hard to imagine it was missed. Truly toe-curling stuff but it exposes the attitudes we’ve been discussing, shows just how the ‘vultures’ view us Scots.

They are not a protected species. Just saying. Give the grouse a break this year.
Great work Chris – as always!
How can anyone now doubt the dramatic swing to the right in Westminster Politics. The inward focused arrogance and the insulting behaviour towards other European Nations is appalling.
I hate to even consider the future of Scotland under these people if we do not achieve Independence.
The news that BBC employee Ruth Davidson sewed up David Mundell’s trousers in an ASDA car park is crying out for a Cairnstoon…
It doesn’t take a spy satellite to see that Johnson, Trump and Farage, the Leave Vote team, featuring Dominic Cummings, and a very large wad of money from the US and Russia, not to mention Cambridge Analytica and/or its replacement, have come together to radically change how the UK is governed, and in a very bad way.
Right now, we are only seeing the beginning, but it’s enough to work out where the UK is heading. The Brexit avalanche is still powering its way downhill with no sign of stopping. Yet many have their heads in the sand, hoping perhaps that Brexit will all blow over soon, or have bought into the Johnson phenomenon and actually believe his totally false promises of a glorious new Britain – in 2050. Talk about pie in the sky?
As for Scotland’s No voters, wearing their ‘we’re British’ sunglasses, time is running out. The UK Titanic is sinking slowly but surely, and before it goes under, they will be forced to choose between saving themselves and jumping ship, or going under.
IndyTime is upon us. Scotland will soon be Independent at last. The Scottish government has done its best to save Brexit Britain, but the Tories and the Brexiters are having none of it. Scotland has no choice now but to leave the stricken ship behind. England is ten times the size of Scotland by population. They’re big enough to take care of themselves. They want Johnson and the rest. Let them have them.
Casting off. All aboard.

I dunno Conan…. BBC journalists are always stitching up the SNP.
Political Cartoon at its finest. Manx Radio this morning playing s sound clip of the Trump saying what a great guy esquire Pfeffel is and that they have started work on a trade deal together. This as we know is breaking EU agreements which state that no new trade agreements should be discussed until after brexit is concluded. Add to the 37 billion of so esquire Pfeffel has promised for a railway linking yorkshire with Manchester airport and other recent spending commitments have no doubt despite yesterday’s denials that there will be a GE before October 31, this will run down the clock so that a haed deal brexit cannot be avoided despite the best endeavours of Parliament.
Hope every body has a good day at Campbelltown , hope the ructions in AUOB and potential weather does not have an adverse impact on attendence.
I just hope the SNP leadership are getting the REAL urgency in all of this. Events are now moving on at some pace. Action required now, not ‘sometime late next year, maybe’.
We really need out of this sh*tty, unwanted, undemocratic ‘union’ with England. We need independence NOW, not sometime next year, maybe.
Here’s one for those who deny racism played a significant role in producing the full-English Brexit. I’m certainly not unconcerned about the plight of the ‘white’ working-class, I’m just aware they were primed and ‘gamed’ by the seamier side of the Establishment (see austerity and the Maybot’s “hostile environment”).
Social Darwinism sought to strengthen Britain through “scientific racism”. This lot simply want to take us back to the social Darwinism of the “Golden Age” of late 19th century imperialism, when folk with ‘dark complexions’ new their place.
N.B. Eurosceptiscism is a central component of contemporary English/British nationalism. It is largely absent in Scottish ‘nationalism’.

Ian Brotherhood @9.51am.
Thank you for that link, all very interesting, my estimation of Michael Fry just went up, whilst Henry McLeish hasn’t changed one bit, even though he sometimes hints that independence is inevitable.
Chris a fabulous piccy and on the money too.
Johnson and his Brexiters want to leave the EU at no cost to themselves. They still want their cake and eat it at the same time. They want to leave those aspects of being in the EU they don’t like, but to keep the parts they do like. They want stuff without having to pay for it. This is Brexit’s fundamental fantasy. This is the British mentality – superior, arrogant, entitled, contemptuous. Oh, and angry and perplexed when other nations don’t bend the knee in deference to England and its upper classes.
“Boris Johnson tells Merkel EU must abandon backstop if it wants Brexit deal
Boris Johnson has had a telephone call with Angela Merkel, the German chancellor. According to the Downing Street read-out, Merkel got exactly the same message about how the backstop must go that Emmanuel Macron received. (See 12.38pm.) A Number 10 spokesman said:
The PM today received a call of congratulations from German chancellor Angela Merkel. They agreed to continue to strengthen our bilateral relationship, and to work together closely on foreign policy and security issues.
On Brexit, the PM said that he would be energetic in reaching out as much as possible to try to achieve a deal, but he reiterated the message he delivered in the House of Commons yesterday: parliament has rejected the withdrawal agreement three times and so the UK must fully prepare for the alternative – which is to leave without a deal on October 31.
He said the only solution that would allow us to make progress on a deal is to abolish the backstop. The PM and chancellor agreed to stay in contact.”
Probably the greatest number of sociopaths ever collected together at one time and for one purpose.
They have made invalids go to work and deprived the truly needy of funds just to survive. They have ridden roughshod over the population and caused the greatest number of suicides this century by making desperate people lose all hope.
One of their number also wants to reintroduce capital punishment on top of everything else.
As a nation we have lost our soul. We have become hardened,without pity for those who hold out a hand for help.
I cannot live in such a land. We must be free of this soon.
The film “The Dark Crystal ” exemplifies the forces now in charge. Howvever there is no good side to these particular monsters running the country. What we see is what we get. All bad.
Colonel Ruth Davidson, must be absolutely livid for a second time (First Fluffy sacked) as Boris bypasses her loyal unionist minion Scots Tory MP’s, and appoints Worcester MP Robin Walker, an Englishman as Under secretary at the Scotland office.
Davidson and the Scottish Tory branch office are becoming more irrelevant by the day in Scotland.
Ermine Vermin Annabel MacNicoll Goldie, Baroness Goldie, has jumped at the chance to serve under Boris, proving that Tories have that need to implement or help push forward far right policies, they can’t help themselves.
“Probably the greatest number of sociopaths ever collected together at one time and for one purpose.”
Actually Washington DC, has the most, however, Westminster is quickly catching up.
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/06/23/washington-dc-the-psychopath-capital-of-america-218892
The appointment of Robin Walker to the Scotland Office is a crystal clear statement by Johnson that he regards Scotland as having no formal rights nor even an informal right to consideration. It shows that the warnings many of us have made regarding the Tory ambition to scrap the Scottish Parliament were not unrealistic.
In his blog James Kelly points out that the argument that Johnson merely wanted to appoint someone who won’t lose their seat overlooks the fact that Scottish peers have often filled posts in the SO in the past and one could have been chosen this time.
People who were soft No voters in 2014 and still haven’t switched ought to start reading the signs about where this degenerate government of ultra rightists would take Scotland.
BBC Shereen . On in 2 mins. Can Swinson and Corbyn challenge The Tories. Any party missing from comment. That’s BBC scotchland. Set up RT must have a wry smile.
Oh one Hagerty earlier on must have repeated 5 times. Remain won.
Bring back John Major!!!!
Oh, BTW, I’ve just tendered my resignation from my golf club. The fees are a bit high, competition in the monthly medal is very stiff, and they basically let almost anybody join these days. I prefer white faces and English, spoken properly, in the Club and on the course.
Oh, and I would prefer they built a tennis court where the practice putting green is. All very reasonable I thought. But they declined and said they couldn’t stop me leaving if that’s what I wanted. So I’m leaving soon. To tell the truth I’ve never felt comfortable in that club. They’re not really my type. Anyway, I’m better than that lot. I’ll show them.
That lot do not have the patience to be vultures, and that will be their undoing.
As I said, I’m not unconcerned about the ‘white’ working class, but the full-English Brexit was largely rejected in Scotland. I’ve no proof, but I suspect that most Scots who voted to leave the EU, support the yoonyawn. Though most of us, a convincing majority, voted for a cosmopolitan future, English cultural chauvinism dictates differently.
The implications of Brexit for dimensions of belonging among British-born white residents in England
https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/polopoly_fs/1.823872!/file/PhDproposal2.pdf
Robin Walker tweets that he’s delighted to be made minister for the union. He doesn’t even mention the name Scotland in his tweet. He does however use the now almost obligatory phrase “the precious union”. They clearly have no idea how ridiculous that term sounds to Scots.
What I cannot believe is with 95 days until Brexit, including weekends, Parliament will spend 37 of those days in recess.
Do not waste this time warned Donald Tusk.
We must presumably expect our revolution to happen in a window of just 58 days???
Pinch me, I’m dreaming. What kind of revolution takes a summer holiday at all? Nevermind one so close to a pivotal constitutional stand-off? These non-events are becoming surreal.
I’d bet that almost no one in Scotland has any idea of what life is like in Eton. And I’d bet that almost no Etonian has any idea of what life in Scotland is like. Except perhaps for the salmon fishing, the grouse shooting, deer stalking, whisky and oil. And more oil. Much more oil. Lots and lots of oil.
Scotland, the unreported country
We can’t use much stuff about Scotland because when we do England switches over to another channel or switches off altogether and Scotland has it’s own news anyway doesn’t it
Well no we don’t, we have the same news as you 24 hours a day
which is English and international news
Local news is done on the same basis as it is in the local areas of England
So which people of the UK is biased against the other for what they perceive as not their country, is it Scotland because we don’t have a choice of the news broadcast because Scotland is a country yet has no authority to have its own broadcaster, or is it England who by majority switch off or over to avoid Scottish news
It must be England because the news broadcasters are afraid to air Scottish news because the majority of England doesn’t want to know, so the broadcasters in order not to lose viewers pander to the country with the most people thereby ignoring Scotland because there is less to lose, reinforcing that bias in England and anti Scotland attitude
Black ethnic and race issues and LGBT issues are aired more on the 24Hr UK rolling news channels than issues from Scotland making Scotland’s people less worthy to report on as ethnic minorities hiding behind the fact that most of us are white so in effect the same as England (what’s yer problem?)
The people of England perceive Scotland as an interruption on their TVs which they believe should be only English British UK news, and in a way there’s not much wrong with that misinformed misguided opinion if it weren’t for the fact that they’d been educated by the very media they watch to believe that what happens in Scotland is a seperate issue from them
So the creation of Scotland’s desired invisibility and lack of importance became complete, and by that action the UK government’s control of media and people made Scotland’s people viewed as an irrelevant nuisance to be ignored and even abused if they had the temerity to complain or even become visible let alone audible
Now if anyone is ever thinking of how to win long wars or sew division between countries and peoples they should apply to UK Guv.media.co.uk for advice, they are the experts
Haggerty, on the BBC the “nationalists” are worried by Swinson.
Haggerty, Swinson is the Tories pal. She votes with them, she sides with them. Haggerty obviously ok with that.
Shereen …. oh Boris ( not Johnson) comes to Glasgow on Monday. Let’s see what he offers us.?
Us? Shereen who are you referring too? The state broadcaster? The middle classes of Newton Mearns?
“Us” I think doesn’t include my family, friends or me.
So the Eton dictator is coming to visit the northern sector of his awesome foursome on Monday. Make some noise!
Ruth Davidson is LIVID at Boris apparently. Read the front page of The Times – fascinating. It explains that Mundell is one of the group of four most trusted advisors and that she refers to him as her ‘work husband’ and has asked him to officiate at her wedding.
The article goes on to say that Mundell was so confident that he would be staying in the job that he hadn’t packed up his stuff and had to watch it be removed in black bin liners.
Karma.
Boris may be many things but he aint daft. He is surrounding himself with loyal people and Davidson and Mundell, and all the other Scottish Tories, with their ‘Operation Arse’ to try and prevent his premiership, have proven where their loyalty lies and it is not to Boris.
By making himself Minister for the Union he is basically saying I’m in charge now and Annabel Goldie will be my Scottish Advisor now, thank you.
The ‘Ruth for First Minister’ dream has vanished and she knows it. Boris thinks he won’t need the Scottish tories or the DUP.
Wouldn’t be surprised if he establishes Direct Rule in N.I. and puts the border in the Irish Sea.
Fantastic cartoon – and clever word play. Double ace!!
Mundell’s going to officiate at Ruthie’s wedding?
At least Fluffy will get to be a minister again for a day.LOL.
CameronB Brodie says:
I agree. That demographic of better off, older, ‘British’, Tory exists throughout the UK and would largely vote Leave. I think in England another group of non urban disaffected working class voters also voted Leave. That didn’t happen in Scotland to anything like the same extent.
Ever embarrassed yourself by laughing aloud at something on a busy train platform and having everyone look at you like your a madman?
Thanks to you Chris…
Angela Haggerty opportunist Scot:
The cringe is strong in this one, because of her lack of education and self embarrassment at the sound and accent of her own voice she tries extra hard to speak English (grammatically like Willie Miller) which makes her sound embarrassingly more silly than if she just relied on natural intelligence
But that unfortunately is something one can’t learn
Willie Miller however is intelligent so doesn’t care about his lack of grammar
See the difference, it’s not how you sound, it’s who you are and Willie doesn’t cringe
Cartoon excellent.
Johnson seems determined to ruffle feathers everywhere, including England. Apparently England’s Trump is visiting us on Monday. Pluck ‘im!
Watched report with Trump talking about trade deal being done with so called ‘Great Britain’ but curiously he added the following :
“And some people remember a word you don’t hear too much is the word England – which is a piece of it. But with the UK we could do much much more trade. And we expect to do that okay.”
So “”And some people remember a word you don’t hear too much is the word England”….England ?….make of that what you will…really weird thing to say….who prompted dumbass to add this little gem….laughable when one thinks how much this idiot goes on about his “Scattish” mother yet so easily trolls and dismisses Scotland…wow money and power wrapped up in corruption really is everything to them……this was not a throwaway statement there was definitely something behind this…yes I know he speaks a lot of sheeite but this WAS oh so very much a calculated statement….but WHO prompted him to make it ?
O/T
Ofcom have fined RT £200,000 for biased reports I wonder if they will ever fine BBC Scotland for their biased reporting.
Come on Cris a cartoon of Davidson stitching Fluffy’s trousers would be a belter.
Johnson probably wants to even ditch Alister Jack after a wee while and make Robin Walker the Secretary of State. Which would mean he would be the Worcester SoS.
@ Scott – there is a different system for monitoring BBC output. It has only recently come under OFCOM and previously it monitored itself.
If you want to complain about the BBC you must first complain to the BBC. Months and several letters of complaint later, you may take your complaint to OFCOM who may consider it.
RT, on the other hand, is often investigated by OFCOM even though nobody has complained. There is no lengthy procedure of writing to three different levels of management in RT before a complaint to OFCOM can be lodged. The Alex Salmond show was investigated by OFCOM on the strength of one single complaint sent directly to OFCOM.
That is the the difference between state funded broadcasting called BBC and state funded broadcasting called RT.
I just watched the Portillo chaired debate on Scottish Independence.
A truly English viewpoint and McLeish made me feel sick with his grovelling sychofantic behaviour.
Once again the “subsidised Scots myth” went unchallenged.
One speaker in Scotland’s corner. The rest mocking the very idea that the English would even miss them.
The arrogance that nuclear WMD would remain in Scotland typified the whole debate.
Off Topic.
So much has been happening this week with Johnson’s Far Right Wing Cabinet,Jacob Rees-Mogg,Trump and Scotland’s new Secretary of State [I’ve forgotten his name] so here’s an update on the new LibDem Leader Jo Swinson who voted alongside the Tories in implementing devastating cuts to public services and vital welfare benefits, including:
2012-14: Swinson repeatedly voted alongside the Tories in favour of the widely-hated Bedroom Tax
2010-2015: Swinson repeatedly voted with the Tories in favour of reducing welfare payments to the sick and disabled.
2011: Swinson voted alongside the Tories for drastic funding cuts to Local Councils
TUITION FEES:
2010: Swinson voted in favour of raising tuition fees to £9,000 a year
2011: Swinson voted to scrap the Education Maintenance Allowance for younger people aged 16-19 in further education
She has spoken in glowing terms of zero hour contracts.
THROUGHOUT HER CAREER SWINSON HAS DESCRIBED HERSELF AS A “MODERATE” !

Excellent Chris. The US vultures are sitting atop a tree as well, waiting for the NHS to tear it to shreds, they won’t even leave a corpse for the people of ‘tRump Britain’ to bury.
Re; Jack Murphy@1.49
If Swinson calls herself a moderate, dread to think what her new Tory far right wing pals making up the cabinet are then. She votes for Tory austerity and criminal cuts to the poorest and most vulnerable, and that’s ‘moderate’. A nobody and con woman, a fake with bells on.
I’m not simply bumping my gums when highlighting the social Darwinism that is now in cabinet. I do know a bit about how scientific racism and biological determinism shaped the social sciences, eventually leading to eugenics and the holocaust. Subsequently, I think this government is definitely shaping up to be a lot more regressive than Thatcher. The thing is, Thatcher wasn’t born with a silver spoon in her mouth, she wasn’t born into privilege. I don’t think she was a social Darwinist, more an aspiring, middle-class, psychopath. She knew fuck all about the economics of liberal democracy, that’s for sure.
https://ecpr.eu/Filestore/PaperProposal/8202dae9-8082-4338-a61c-ab82aa048aad.pdf
I take that back about Thatcher, I hadn’t thought it through fully. Of course, she knew how to dismantle the fabric of a liberal economy. That takes a certain amount of knowledge and a lot of self-determination/fanaticism.
I’m green with jealousy. my Gove as an owl was crap compared to your Gove as a vulture.
The indy movement is lucky to have you Chris.
