The thing is there's loads they could have legitimately taken the piss out of, but the cartoonist being essentially a lefty liberal type himself was clearly struggling.

how good it is depends on what quotes he overhears I guess

Scene & Heard is always one of the weaker features of Private Eye imo.
Private Eye is shite anyway I have no idea why people place so much faith in what they write
yeah I rarely read it

there's no love too small
And the standing outside shops thing is just a plagiarism from sol fed types taking the piss out of themselves, so doesn't really work at all as satire

Yeah, it's just so fucking weak. They need to go see 39Steps.

The cartoonist probably just wandered up to one of them and asked them what they did. "Stand outside shops and go to meetings".

Hysteria. Everything is a conspiracy against the anarchists.
That's especially ironic considering it comes from someone who seems to be doing their best to slander and demonise anarchists in a professional capacity.
You get paid a salary to attack the anarcho-left. That's what you do. Bit rich of you to accuse them of hysteria really.

Yes, I get paid a salary to attack the anarcho-left, you fucking fantasist.
Richard Ingrams, the old Eye editor calls himself an anarchist. This sketch, fyi, is not primarily a comedy piece.
Yeah I just invented the ANARCHO TERROR NETWORK!!! story you wrote. Pure fantasy.
Do one you gobshite.

Yes, I'm on a retainer just in case anarchists do something to move the needle again, ever.

I'm sure it'll never ever reach the rich pungency one would wade through when attending the Anarchist Bookfair at Conway Hall.

Brian, were you compelled to use that pathetic language?
Pathetic and inaccurate too.
But who cares about technicalities? We've got Anarchists to sling in jail.

I have, even been to the infamous lunch. That's where I was initiated into the MSM anti-anarchist conspiracy, even though I regularly give the ultra-left a voice in articles.
By calling them terrorists?
I'm sure the ultra-left are very grateful for the platform you so kindly gave them.
You know Steve Kingston?
