Viz
NSFW
When you've finished examining the grot collection, as I have, archive.org also has vintage Vizzes from long before they decided to adopt a Student Grant editorial line with consequent total humourlessness the stupid cunts

It's developed a tedious political conscience, but politics isn't what Viz is for. Ball-achingly unfunny politics is Private Eye's patch.
Thatcher was PM when the issues I link to came out. They've got nothing to say about her thank fuck. If I pick up a copy tomorrow, there will be something shit about Trump, 100%

Perhaps the students who used to buy
it are now middle aged and want the *quick skim* 2 Farage, 1 Hannah Spencer and 0 Trump jokes in the new issue. One of those is about the state of the toilets in Parliament. Hardly trying to be right on*.
It's always been full of celebrities, and as politics has embraced celebrity culture, it would be weird if they weren't featured as such.
(* I guess Barney Farmer's stuff is political, but more Ken Loach than LOLTRUMP.)

Love that it used to charge students more for an issue back in the day...

If it's annoying the tedious wall-of-text /links gammons, it must be doing something right.

You could always just fuck off to Reddit, mate.
Plenty of safe spaces there for you.

As perfect as the font matching.
Her thing is political correctness pushed to a silly extreme, combined with impotent rage. This isn't that.
Likewise, the Reddit stereotype is libertarian atheists, rather than woke liberals. That's Blue Sky.
Calling everything woke has really messed up stereotyping. Saw someone call the Lib Dems "far left" the other day.

Given social media makes it easy to create personalised Overton windows
The Lib Dems probably are far left for the type that thinks Nigel has the right sort of idea but is perhaps a bit soft.

Here's another to add to the fun and laughter. Fucking hell if Viz grew old to appeal to you jokers no wonder it's dead.

I can only remember the last couple of years but the funniest thing I've seen - and I have seen a lot - was LOL UK series one on Prime Video. That's where we are basically.

Whatever ones opinion
You have to admire him going toe to toe with the public in the comments to justify his call
