Satirical Cartoon: West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner By-election

A cartoon infographic, like those that are popular on the Internet these days. The lines are simple and the writing a little shaky, like David Shrigley or those birthday cards or XKCD.

It’s a bar chart, in black and white and cross-hatching. It’s labeled ‘West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner By-election Exit Poll’. The bars are:

Labour 200
UKIP 130
Tory 50
Green 45
Lib Dem 10
Residents against the wheelie bin 12
White Dee for Celebrity Big Brother 243,235

There’s still a copy of the Birmingham Mail on the floor with an explanatory ‘Low Turnout’ headline.

Jon was voted the ‘14th Most Influential Person in the West Midlands’ in 2008. Subsequently he has not been placed. He’s been a football referee, venetian blind maker, cellar man, and a losing Labour council candidate: “No, no chance. A complete no-hoper” said a spoilt ballot. Jon wrote and directed the first ever piece of drama performed on Twitter when he persuaded a cast including MPs and journalists to give over their timelines to perform Twitpanto. But all that is behind him.
