Satire is alive and kicking

Article Abstract:

Many commentators have claimed that the age of effective political satire is coming to an end. There is some truth in this. Comedians still make fun of politicians, but their humour is not as politically biting as political satire was in the past. However, the UK's newspapers still publish political cartoons that convey a clear political message much more rapidly than an editorial can. Many different styles and traditions have come together to create a very rich cartooning environment.

Who's who in the literary premiership

Article Abstract:

Political leaders have sometimes derived therapeutic benefits from writing their memoirs after they have left office. In some cases, they have been motivated by financial gain. They often believe that writing their memoirs will allow them to defend their political reputation, but can be guilty of manipulating history to their own advantage. They are usually generous about former colleagues, although this was not the case in Margaret Thatcher's memoirs.
