A couple of observations prompted by yesterday's Guardian.
Given that the paper contains quite a lot of good content, why is it that their cartoons are so incomprehensible and so fecalentric? I thought the idea of a cartoon was to make an easily digestible point about the current scene, livened up with a bit of caricature or a bit of fun. But easily digestible does not mean make the same point day after day or mean make a point too obscure to be grasped over the matinal toast. And the preoccupation with bottoms and feces is not my idea of fun, rather rather infantile.
But I was interested to read that the Russians have taken a rather robust approach to the dangerous doings of Greenpeace on the high seas. About time that someone pulled them up. Perhaps the activists involved will now spend many happy months documenting the iniquities of the Russian prison scene, against their transferring to Amnesty International on release. I wonder what we would do if a bunch of dodgy looking long hairs tried to scale the perimeter fence of Drax B? Or a bunch of Muslims?
