Honest and independent free press? It's never been so. Intelligence officers were involved from the start. Now as then they live in fear of being exposed. Traitors.

Lederhosen is a smug murderess. She killed Paul McKeever. She may have her uses, I'll let her run for now.

Does it really need satire?

Satirical cartoons, illustrations and caricatures have a rich tradition in the UK, going back centuries - both political and religious. It still is if you open any newspaper, or read any political / religious publication. Clearly current sensibilities around being beheaded by a nutter has endangered some freedoms - like depicting Muhammad in an form.

Politics and society in the UK has moved on significanty from Cruikshanks time. What was then would be unrecognisable now.

In 1840 do you think a cartoon of Muhammad
