Hung parliament

[threaded]

but it is still rather brutal. I wouldn't like it if I walked past a wall and somebody had painted a picture of me being executed on it. The artist/photoshopper concerned should doff his anonymity for a while and explain to their respective children why he wants to see their daddies strangled; or how he doesn't actually want them strangled, but just finds the idea of it funny.

Yes, heads on spikes would be better. You wouldn't have to get into all that explaining thing about how words can mean different things and how a great deal of English humour is based on confusing these. Or even what a hung parliament is. What parliament is. What's a democracy. All that difficult stuff they used to teach somewhere in an imaginary past.
