I know the cartoon's supposed to be all about Don Quixote, but a skeletal horse always makes me think of the Mari Lwyd from Welsh folklore and its appearance in Susan Cooper's The Dark Is Rising, one of the most pant-crapping moments in children's literature!
Now, please stop being so stupidly personal.

You know nothing about me, so how about cutting down on the belligerent presumption.
Being in the private sector, I trust you're not typing this in your employers time ?

The last big march on 26th March 2011 involved about a quarter of a million workers from every possible section of the labour movement, with broad contingents of students and non-union workers. It may have been 'seen' in the spectacle as 'a bunch of leftys out on the jolly' (and it's instructive that you're mainly interested in how it works in the language of television), but it won't be 'seen' that way by a) the participants, b) the wider labour movement, c) those sections of the working class most affected by cuts, or d) others who despise the Tories. The media can create a mythological image of bolshies who love a march, but the people who this march wants to reach, to buoy up, to connect, etc., will not buy that

The march website actively encourages mass attendance, and there was an eight page pull-out in the Daily Mirror inviting the wider public's involvement. The idea that the TUC is "actively discouraging" people from participating is preposterous
