Frightening how stating the facts is also dark humour. But funny!
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I don't want to start a PC discussion but that one was 👎🏻 for me. And you know that black humour is something I enjoy a lot but I accept different opinions too.
I agree Hannes. There's something slightly weird and creepy about the way Greta Thunberg has become such an object of hate for British Gammons. Opinions vary on why it is, I reckon its just because she's younger, more intelligent, and more successful at getting her message across to politicians and the wider public than they are.

Possibly because of the hatred that she shows for the people of the "Gammon" Age Group? Evidence? She's pretty direct with governments and people with power but who fail to act, but Boomers generally?

Fair enough, but the vitriol to the leaders is easily interpreted as vitriol to the generation of the leaders, both by the Boomers and Greta supporters, cue the OK, Boomer thing in the USA.

The British black humour is not for everybody Hannes  Agreed. One man’s meat etc. Personally I thought this was very topical, perhaps near the knuckle but not at all offensive. But what do I know...

Yes for me it's a typical HIGNFY cartoon and you either like that sort of thing and read Private Eye regularly or you don't. With the impending truth about Randy Andy about to reveal itself (allegedly  ) very topical.

An old man walks into a confessional one morning and tells the priest next to him that he is 87 years old. "I had been completely loyal to my wife for 65 years until last night," he confessed. "I was propositioned by two college girls, and I followed them. We did it twice," he said.
"I see." said the priest "How long has it been since your last confession?"
The man replied, "Never, I'm Jewish."
The priest asks, "Then why are you telling me this?"
The man replies, "I'm telling everybody!"
