Appalling cartoon in the Times.

From my posting history you'll be able to see that I'm far from a fan of the SNP but even for me this cartoon from the times is appalling. I hope it gets taken down. I totally disagree with Andrew Neil.

I agree with you - the cartoon is very badly judged and should be taken down.

Hapagirl48 · 03/05/2024 13:25

Oh God. I too am far from a SNP fan but this is just no.

Timetodownsize · 03/05/2024 13:32

Thats pretty tasteless

Newwwewww · 03/05/2024 13:41

Definitely - we live in an age where politicians get constant abuse on twitter etc, that’s out of order.

Newwwewww · 03/05/2024 13:41

It’s also not remotely amusing…

Pocketfullofdogtreats · 03/05/2024 13:44

Tasteless, not very clever, not funny.

Emotionalsupporthamster · 03/05/2024 13:50

Grim

SammyScrounge · 03/05/2024 13:56

That cartoon is outrageous. It debases politics.

BigBoysDontCry · 03/05/2024 13:58

I hate the SNP and everything they stand for, but that is appaling.

They could have depicted the same message in a way that isn't going to upset families impacted by suicide deaths and also doesn't look like a death threat.

I'm sure it will be withdrawn.

GerminateMyParsnips · 03/05/2024 13:58

It's awful

CaptainCarrotsBigSword · 03/05/2024 14:04

I don't have an issue with this. It's very much in the tradition of political cartoons and it sums up the current SNP situation pretty well.

It's a satirical cartoon, it isn't meant to be taken literally.

Escapetothesun · 03/05/2024 14:35

Disgusting.

Par for the course with the racism often shown towards Scotland .

Gnomegarden32 · 03/05/2024 15:37

Agree very tasteless and irresponsible. Two MPs have been murdered in recent times - it's not funny

LBFseBrom · 03/05/2024 15:42

Very poor taste.

That's not what they mean by a hung parliament.

ssd · 03/05/2024 16:21

In really poor taste

CheapThrillsMeanNothing · 03/05/2024 16:32

In the worst possible taste.
I've not got time for the SNP though but this is wrong.
SNP are getting like the Tories. How many different leaders in a single parliament?

I agree with this. I was expecting far worse!

PollyPeachum · 03/05/2024 16:40

Wonderfully bad taste as the best political cartoons are. Remember they are about people who usually have far too great an opinion of themselves.
That really applies to that bunch.

JamSandle · 03/05/2024 16:41

I'm quite appalled by this. How did they judge this as okay?

PollyPeachum · 03/05/2024 16:43

Times also quoted Penny Mordaunt: "I am not going to be installed in No 10 like a new boiler".

What do you mean by this? The SNP are the worst for encouraging racism. Everyone is apparently welcome unless of course they happen to be English.

The SNP are hoist by their own petard as far as this is concerned. I hope the current debacle sees the party killed off.

Escapetothesun · 03/05/2024 17:41

With all due respect , you have very entrenched views so it would be an absolute waste of my time @BigBoysDontCry .

Viviennemary · 03/05/2024 17:44

It's in very poor taste and actually quite offensive.

Bigredpants · 03/05/2024 17:48

Racism towards Scotland? 😅
