DRINK-SOAKED TROTSKYITE PSYCHICS FOR WAR
Eric over at the Popinjays posted this at 9.22pm yesterday:
Today's front cover of the Independent features the names of all 100 British soldiers who've lost their lives in Iraq (picture to follow if I can find an old copy on the Tube later - I'm not paying for a copy of the Indie...).
Although there is no mention of a quagmire, the leader on their website describes Corporal Pritchard's death as "a grim milestone".
Full credit to Kim Sengupta and Terri Judd for reaching into the cliche sack and pulling out a classic.
And hats off to Eric, both for his photoshop skills and ability to read the depressingly predictable minds of the Birkenstock branch of the Daily Mail.
UPDATE
Being a bit slow today, I only just noticed this in the Indie's story:
Anti-war demonstrators, including six MPs, read out the names of the British dead in Iraq and placed a hundred wooden crosses in their memory at Parliament Square.BUT WHERE WERE THE AZTEC DANCERS?!?!? (For an explanation, see photoblogger Rayra's piece on Veterans Day 2005 at the Santa Monica Beach.
