(Satire? No – it’s David Cameron!)
Here’s an 18th century portrait of Catherine The Great:
Which happens to look like David Cameron in drag.
Well, these toffs are all related, don’t you know?

Reblogged this on Beastrabban’s Weblog and commented:
Besides the physical similarity between the two, they also share similar attitudes towards the serfs, with their servants also adopting a common policy of camouflage and deceit when these policies didn’t work. Catherine the Great ordered that conditions for the serfs should be improved. When these proved impossible to implement, her minister, Potemkin, constructed a number of sham villages for her examination to show that the peasants’ lives and their homes had indeed been improved according to her decrees. These were the notorious Potemkin villages. Now, nearly three centuries later, when the economic situation doesn’t conform to the predictions of George Osborne and Vince Cable, rather than admit that their polices have failed, the Coalition engages in a similar piece of subterfuge and alters and falsifies statistics to show that the economy is booming, and more people are in work than ever before. Well, it’s what Potemkin would have done. And Catherine the Great and the Coalitions show a similar ruthlessness is suppressing dissent: witness IDS turning up at the Work and Pensions Committee surrounded by armed cops in case he was lynched by the disabled public.

We have had George Osborne linked to the duke and duchess of Cambridge.s baby Gorge, now we have Cameron’s name linked to Catherine the not so great, what next William Hague linked to William of Orange to complete the set?

Guess which senior member of the Nasty Party is the spitting image of Nazi Fritz Saukel. Image here:
There are other resemblances too:
“At the Nuremberg trials, Fritz Sauckel was accused of conspiracy to commit crimes [..] against humanity. He defended the Arbeitseinsatz as “nothing to do with exploitation. It is an economic process for supplying labour”. He denied that it was slave labour or that it was common to deliberately work people to death (extermination by labour) or to mistreat them. ”

I feel like even if it’s not directly implied, this is basically mysogynistic. I think there is a humour implied that he looks like he’s in drag, where there wouldn’t be in the same way, if it was a female politician who looked like they were in drag as a male politician. The picture is funny to people reading this because it is derogatory for him to look like a female version of himself. This is in line with boys being called sissies etc, and not man enough, being an expression of misogyny, that being like a woman is an insult and embarrassment. Women who are more masculine aren’t ridiculed in the same way, they are still, but not in the same way, it is not seen as so ridiculous and humourous.

“It’s now very common to hear people say, ‘I’m rather offended by that.’ As if that gives them certain rights. It’s actually nothing more… than a whine. ‘I find that offensive.’ It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. ‘I am offended by that.’ Well, so fucking what.”

I am irritated that female traits are seen as derogatory in society, but the lines ‘all these toffs are related’ is blatant classism. That’s perfectly fine to say, but if you comment on the working classes then woe betide you. I’m not saying you shouldn’t ever make jokes about people. But stereotyping and hating someone for their background is classism, no matter who it is aimed at.
