Haha. Good trolling.

I think if you are trying to find a link you will find one. Dude is in the green party, has a big nose and a gap in his teeth. Are they supposed to depict him as Bradley Cooper just because he's also Jewish?

(Fwiw I noticed that cartoons were relatively kind on Badenoch as well, which I put down to her being a bit of a non entity, rather than the fact she is black).

Re his nose, it's not that big, and definitely not hooked, which is very much a recognised trope, and if you don't want to get into hot water, wise to avoid it, especially if the target *hasn't got one*.

Anyway, as I say, Brookes (at least) has form (see the octopus for Richard Sharpe), so it'll be interesting to see how the complaint lands with the Times. The best excuse is probably carelessness, but it's not much of a defence when the tropes are so well known, and you've been hauled up before for using them.

Honestly, I don't see this going anywhere.

Have you got cartoons by the same guy of other people?

Here's a hatefully antisemitic cartoon by Peter Brookes of Boris Johnson.
