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.

Conceded. Omit "anonymity"; substitute "pseudonymity".

Not anonymous, done by Banksy (originally Bristol-based street artist, whose work is now quite sought after. cba'd to find a link, but google it.)

I am pretty sure I saw a photo of a noose in some national newspaper on frontpage right under words of "hung parliament".

live as in "live on the TV" or live as in "long and happy living"?

I'm glad you didn't ask HAB for a picture of a well hung parliament.

'Live' as in looking into their eyes and see the terror racing through their minds; 'live' as in seeing them shake uncontrollably; 'live' as in being able to smell their piss and tulip as they lose control of the bodily functions; 'live' as in seeing the trap door open and they drop and seeing them kick about before going quiet.

I would like to be like Vir

I'd pay serious money to see it live.

That's good. Nick and Dave look, well, deader but Gordon looks just the same as normal.
