It will be finished
because they'll pay ridiculous overtime to make sure it does. Like they did with the Jubilee Line extension for 2000 (to go to the dome). I heard they were on 10x overtime for the last month. It will go about another £500 million over budget, and then the Tories will have an excuse that "it's all Labour's fault" when there's no money for schools and hospitals

because Labour has spent it on off-balance-sheet PFI deals for...schools and hospitals
I bet the Tories will do exactly the same, although there seems to be some debate as to whether PFI was their idea, or...er...Mussolini's

My guess...
the Daleks have always been a fucking knob to make, operate, n maintain, they cost a feckin bomb and need 3 operators and an army of techies to keep the bastards moving, these are obviously way simpler to pop out a few hundred and stop those embarrassing 'Dalek army of 3' scenes and will be a piece of piss to keep lookin shiny n new. And plastic and crappy looking, but hopefully they'll grow on us...
I think Gatiss's original idea was a good one, just think the BBC props dept implementation of it was a tad overly simplistic, those neck bins for example are fucking awful, couldn't they at LEAST have put some netting or something inside to stop them being so obviously empty!? And where's all the metal n bolts!? They look like a strong wind would blow 'em over!

I don't think it will improve things but it will prevent them from getting worse
If we just roll over and acquiesce every time someone threatens violence, then before you know it we'll have fundamentalists of every religious hue assembling hate mobs to get their point across. Not just religions either - the BNP have historically been a bit tasty in a rumble, so why don't we give in and let them have their way all the time too?

you've got 2 dogs in front of you
a springer spaniel who's just eaten and is sat out in the sun all content, and a mastiff who has been kicked and abused, not fed and eally wound up. Jabbing at both of them with a stick will get different results, the spaniel will probably ignore you for being a silly pest. The Mastiff will snap and try and kill you.
Now if you'd tried to calm the mastiff, feed it, show it you are a friend, feed it again, put it in the nice warm sun, then maybe it won't react to that jabby stick.
You can draw pictures of mohammed, and everyone should be able to take a joke, but some people just aren't in the frame of mind to laugh. So until the mastiff is fed and rehabilitated, jabbing it is a slightly silly thing to do in my eyes.

to be honest I hadn't seen your picture
I was refering to the people who are deliberately setting out to be a cunt, the film maker that did the gaybar thing, the facebook groups encouraging as much offence as possible. Your picture ironically is exactly what should be done and what I was refering to about positive paintings elsewhere.
As for the tories, yes, they've affected me directly so I feel I have a good reason to depict them in a satirical way. Mohammed hasn't done anything himself so I don't see the point. Suicide bombers and fundamentalists have which is why I have drawn them in the past.

shirley?
I know where you're coming from though, I was bullied at school, by a kid who'd most likely been kicked and abused for most of his life. I don't know how much lunch money I handed over to him, pens, paper, he took my watch and tried to sell it back to me for a fiver, then threatened me with death if I told any of the teachers. Didn't make him my friend, even though sometimes I tried to chat to him, find common ground. He still always found yet another thing about me that he saw as worth hurting me for.

You're probably right, I have quite a purty face.
and, yes, I agree, a lot of crusaders jump on the latest bandwagon for bashing some group they don't belong to. In this case, I think it's a complicated matter involving an almost "religious" value in America, the right to freedom of speech, versus a religious value. I think it's valid to protest against infringements of freedom of speech, personally, whether the people trying to infringe it are religious or not.

no that's bollocks.
the BNP is a party based purely on extremist and racist views. Its supporters, whilst not all personally committing extremist acts still support the party's inherent racist outlook. The majority of muslims do not support violence or islamic extremism. Islam, like most religions, is fundamentally based on well intentioned values and the majority of its followers are decent people. However like any religious text the Quran is open to interpretation and abuse. Fundamentalism is dangerous in any religion and saying that all muslims support violent extremism is the same as saying all christians support the "god hates fags" brigade. You cannot draw comparisons between an entire faith and an extremist minority party.

I've talked with so-called "moderate" Muslims who as soon as you mention Salman Rushdie
say "Oh, of course he should die for what he said, it's unforgivable" and BNP voters with more black friends that I have.
Just because Islam's a religion doesn't mean that it doesn't have some pretty abhorrent ideas at its core. I've read the Koran and every other chapter mentions that unbelievers should die by sword and fire. It's right there in their manifesto, and there's always going to be a percentage of "ordinary" muslims who support that.

Not really, though
Much like Christianity, the vast majority support the core values and beliefs of the Koran, but accept that times move on and some of its teachings are outdated and impractical. I really don't think that the entire muslim following will be ready to burn your flag if you draw a picture of their prophet, but a few do, and if that's deemed offensive to them, then...fair enough, really. Much like I wouldn't condemn my fried for believing in abstinence.
There are a few extremists who do take things to far, but the majority don't. I understand free speech, and how important that is to the western world, but I also believe in respect, and I'm not sure making a huge thing out of this is entirely cool. No, we shouldn't be stopped if we want to draw a picture of Mohammed, then again it seems pretty rude to take it to this kind of extreme.

the letter I wrote to him did have a rather leftfield suggestion
I want him to make the Queen Mother the patron saint of pot-holing. I've told him that the people of Britain have lost faith in the Catholic church because of the kid-bumming thing, and this is the only way to placate us. If he could announce it on his arrival to the UK this year, I thought, that would be the best approach.
