I'm not bothered how a violent thug died, I am however bothered about how our lovely Queen is depicted.

I didn't see the other cartoon, so I can't really comment on it.
Neither do I tigger, but I guess it sells magazines?

I agree entirely.
Who needs multiple murders by terrorists when one shaft of Peter's incisive wit would have them running for the sand dunes.

Interesting.

Given the Queen's guarenteed imunity to cartoonists perfected over a long and happy reign, and her acknowldeged humanity and compassion, I am willing to bet that she would take a different view - being more concerned about the death of an innocent person, than one more cartoon about her which would mean less than nothing.
I certainly never laughed at how the magazine portrayed the prophet Mohammad , that was as sick as this is
Paigntonian - // Peter's incisive wit ... //

is that what it is?

News to me!!
There have been many cartoons of the Queen over the years, some of which were less than flattering. She was also a regular on Spitting Image.
Andy, I disagree. I think the Queen will not be amused.

I didn't say the Queen would not be amused, I offered no view on what her reaction may be.

My point is that when you have had as many cartoons drawn about you as she has, I am sure you develop an ability to simply smile at the ones that amuse you, ignore the ones that don't, and not waste any time bothering about either.
Its good old satire with maybe maybe an element of truth. Cuz lets face it liz isnt a big fan of the girl from across the pond.
The cartoon does not make reference to how an innocent man died - George Floyd was a violent thug with numerous convictions to his name.

What should be pointed out, is the complete lack of veracity & the total unfairness in the implication of this cartoon; H.M. the Queen is completely innocent of racism in this sordid Sussex affair, & in her estimable life in general.
M.Markle has issued a slur without attribution & possibly foundation, which is gaining ground, & the entire British royal family are being smeared by her contempt.
gosh if everyone went through Private Eye with a fine toothcomb there would be a pandemic of 'Outrage'. Satire is what it is, take it or leave it, but to get outraged about it is kind of missing the point. ( I bet HRH Prince Philip had a good laugh if he saw it)
Meh. It's a satircal cartoon. Absolutely nothing to get het up about. I'd imaging HRH has more pressing worries than what some French writers think about her.
I suppose it all boils down to sense of humour.

Weird because most people laughed when they did the cartoon of the Prophet Mohamed,

Utter bilge.

I'll take more interest in this story if the royal family pop round to the ebdo offices and start shooting the hell out of everyone at Charlie Ebdo.

Otherwise it a 'meh' from me.
‘ & the entire British royal family are being smeared by her contempt.’

Then how would you explain Her (and Harry’s) drop in popularity?

I don't think a bunch of Royalist fanatics will be having a mass shooting at their office.
Yet another part of the script offered today . Great stuff. Best get the kettle on and make sweet strong tea for the ‘ outraged ‘ of AB .
