Do you get branded Qur'an delivery vans like you do for newspapers?
Part of the joke is the use of a familiar vehicle, can't see it working as well with a made up design

I like the idea of cartoonists
only being allowed one joke per type of event, though.

it doesn't work very well as it is
I know they have to crack these out daily but some of them are breathtakingly clunky.

how is it not working?
I thought the concept was quite clear

too clear
The audience barely has to put in any effort at all.

it's a satirical cartoon, not a mensa test

it's a satirical cartoon in a broadsheet newspaper
They should assume some degree of sophistication in their audience otherwise it just looks patronising. These are people who like to think they're working in Gilray's shadow remember

You don't get Sun and Mail branded vans. I've never seen one.
And nor have you.

I've seen loads - not with "Read Sun and Daily Mail" on them admittedly

That image search didn't return any vans branded with either The Sun or The Mail.
Which kind of proves my point. What's your point?

It's a cartoon you imbecile
they are supposed to be absurd, ridiculous or even preposterous but with a hint of truth. That's how cartoons work - are you on the fucking spectrum or something?

that's interesting, it's one of those Madela effect things that you assume you see everywhere
I guess it's down to a mixture of what they used to have and promotional things
Do they deliver unbranded then to avoid things being thrown at them?

Nah. You liked the cartooon because you hate The Sun and The Mail, thus you give it credence.
But the idea that those shitty rags are in any way responsible for Finsbury Park is a profoundly insidious lie. But people are desperate to exculpate Islam under any circumstances in order to defend the dream of harmonious multiculturalism. It seems so strange that people won't even tolerate the fact that there is at least one problematic dimension to that religion, yet it's always open season on other faiths. Maybe if there wasn't such widespread collusive denial, this Welsh clown wouldn't have been motivated to randomly mow down people.
They don't deliver themselves, they use distributors. The biggest is www.smithsnews.co.uk/

I didn't click like on the cartoon
I just commented that I'd seen newspaper delivery vans but not Qur'an ones.
So it was people being tolerant that is to blame, not wars, extremists or scaremongering? got it
also

If you tolerate those who are intolerant of a liberal western democracy,
what happened in Westminster/Manchester/Borough will happen. Perhaps there should be a media blackout on such events, I find the coverage to be little more than 'scaremongering'.
Took you long enough. Doesn't look at all recent, and was probably some promo gimmick, since, as l have already said, they use distributors who deliver all the papers.
