Whoops Apocalypse!

So Bush has ended nuclear sanctions against India, so they can now expand their nuclear capacity, without signing the non-porliferation treaty. And the double whammy is he has taken North Korea off his naughty boy nation list, even though international inspectors found the agreed seals on nuclear installations had been broken. So not only has Bush delivered economic armageddon to the world but he has tried his best to bring the physical version too.

Let's be honest, how many of us said that he'd bring the world to it's knees the day he stole the original US Presidential election? I know I did.

Let Them Eat Caviar

The staggering hypocrisy of the G8 leaders supposedly discussing global poverty and food shortages, while sitting down to eat 16 course meals of the most expensive and scarce foodstuffs. No wonder so many of us have lost all faith in our politicians. To emphasize the point I used four endangered species as the main courses (which upset my other half so much she couldn't look at it). I originally wanted to put 'let them eat McDonald's', to make the point that the globalisation agenda favoured by the more right wing nations at the table was indeed part of the problem, but unfortunately this was judged as too litigious. Personally I find it very worrying we can say almost anything we like (as cartoonists) about our elected political representatives who we have at least some power over, but we cannot make even the mildest of criticisms of the multinationals who we have absolutely no power over what so ever.
