Uncyclopedia – Mae Zedong
https://uncyclopedia.com/wiki/Mae_Zedong
‘Mae Zedong (December 26, 1893 — November 22, 1980)
…was an actress, writer and communist revolutionary famous for her daring double entendres and her belief that proletarian revolution could come from the peasant classes.
After winning control of mainland China in 1949, Zedong modernized the country through a series of risque comedies and films, filled with quips, one-liners and denunciation of “reactionary” elements.
These were later collected into the “Little Black Book,” which became a standard text for revolutionaries into the 1960s.’
Dr Seuss being a political cartoonist

One of many political cartoons penned by Dr Seus.
I posted this back in the days before Dr Seuss got ‘cancelled’. So here’s some context to show how political and progressive he was in his day:

Mr Clarke is the very model of a modern labour minister
A musical animation that made me laugh because it has…
“a hint of politics and opinion, a dapper dog singing and the cutest puppy pianist on the planet.”

Update 2022:
rather dated now but funny nevertheless – a classic example of satire a la UK.
Incidentally, I’m a bit embarassed about the virtue signalling. Quite frankly I don’t really care what happens to the UK now.
Tony Blair MP – anagrams
http://www.anagramgenius.com/archive/tonybl4.html
Anagrams of Tony Blair MP:
I’m Tory Plan B. (Well we all knew that!)
Try a limp nob. (Must be the third way that he’s always going on about.)
Anagrams of ‘Tony Blair’:
A Lib ‘n’ Tory.
I rat nobly.
Not by Rail?! (The UK has the most expensive and unpunctual trains in the EU)
Anagram of ‘Tony Blair’s “New Labour”‘:
Wobble, tyrannous liar! – (Where ARE those WMDs Mr Blair?)
My favourite:
“Tony Blair’s election manifesto” = “More nasty lies. Notable fiction.”
Chairman Blairs little red book

“Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”
美国垄断资本集团如果坚持推行它的侵略政策和战争政策，势必有一天要被全世界人民处以刑。其他美国帮凶也将是这样。
Translation: “If the U.S. monopoly capitalist groups persist in pushing their policies of aggression and war, the day is bound to come when they will be hanged by the people of the whole world. The same fate awaits the accomplices of the United States.”

‘Red Carpet of Death’ scuppers Gates’ knighthood

‘Red Carpet of Death’ scuppers Gates’ knighthood
“Palace courtiers battled with software for more than two hours during the ceremony, with the waiting audience of be-hatted sycophants growing increasingly restless, as Her Majesty repeatedly failed to knight Mr Gates. After two false starts, the Keeper of the Royal Disks (more affectionately, if warily, known as Hard Rod) was forced to reinitialise the Monarch’s ageing boot drive, reinstall Microdaft Monarchy.
Several onlookers who knew-a-thing-or-two-about-computers thought that a virus may have been to blame, the most likely candidate being the infamous “Camilla” Trojan. If left unchecked, this wicked little filly of code can cause fatal system errors in any Royal lineage, and has even been known to lead to full Republic status in a matter of weeks. A palace IT manager said later that “Camilla is an absolutely lethal Worm which can leverage outage disruption in mission-critical architectures, whilst further impacting substantive legacy systems… blah blah blah…”
The Royal honour was to have been bestowed at the personal request of the British Prime Minister, a known technophobe, in recognition of Mr Gates’s regular help with “sorting-out his Hotmail account”. More cynical observers have suggested, ridiculously in our view, that Mr Gates’s stupendous wealth may also have entered into the equation: World-Dominating Technology + Very Rich Guy + PM = Third Term. Absurd.
Following his eventual knighthood, as an American citizen Mr Gates cannot of course be referred to as “Sir Willy”, as this is an honour that can only be bestowed upon British subjects in a bizarre “RubbaDubbing” ceremony. However, since software patches were added in 1997 and 2001, the UK now runs remotely on a networked operating system based in Washington, so it seems likely that provided Mr Gates returns his original program disks, and agrees to the installation of a UK-registered dongle, he will be automatically upgraded to a full “substantive” knight in due course.”

David Icke Website
The lad’s done well since he was goalie for Coventry FC.
I used to have a t-shirt that bore the logo ‘David Icke says “I’m as sane as the next sheep -ba!” That was just after he claimed to be Jesus on BBC TV.
Update: Yes, he’s still peddling his weirdly dangerous, nut-job, bat-shit insane, conspiracy nonsense. More’s the pity

This made me laugh outloud. Bin Laden will certainly be adding Rockall to his list of targets.
