Media Reviews
The best way to see 2012 and 2013 is to see it through the eyes of cartoonists - they strike at the high and the mighty, the proud and the pompous - David Cameron as a condom, Ed Miliband as Wallace and Grommit, and Nick Clegg as a fag. It is brilliant, witty and acerbic. -- Lord Baker Fantastic - it's a Christmas stocking filler... I'm going to get one! -- Andrew Neil
