Tribune Political Cartoons: John Jensen and Roger McGough on Gordon Brown

12 October 2007

John Jensen and Roger McGough on Gordon Brown

John Jensen recommends...

the leader
by Roger McGough

I wanna be the leader
I wanna be the leader
Can I be the leader?
Can I? Can I?
Promise? Promise?
Yippee I'm the leader

OK What shall we do?

The best British political cartoons and, sometime references to poetry. A hat-tip to Roger McGough and John, thank you.
