Satirical cartoon: Armistice Day in Brum

Five people in suits are standing in front of a war memorial. They’re all standing to be leader of the Council’s Labour group, but you probably don’t recognise them. That’s not our fault, it’s theirs.

They are bowing.

A man with a press ticket in his hat is measuring the angle of their bows.

In the background is the Erdington Conservative Club. Robert Alden is eating a Beano style slap up meal of a pile of mashed potatoes with all sausages coming out of the top. There are mice running around his feet, but he doesn’t mind.

Caption reads: leadership material.
