Accurately sums up the smear campaign

The despicable Steve Bell strikes again. I thought he'd been pensioned off. He certainly should have been, IMHO.

The is clearly promoting antisemitism by reshaping this tweet. It has clear Christian biblical references, so typical in other forms of antisemitism. IStandWithBritishJews

Wow. Disgusting even for the Granuiad

Bell's cartoon is even more offensive than Johnny Craig's infamous cover for EC Comics, as it evokes religious intolerance (the martyrdom of John the Baptist) & has appeared at the same time as the decapitation of people in France by Islamic terrorists. For shame.

Steve Bell's cartoon is grossly anti Semitic. Shame on the Guardian for printing a cartoon that uses religious references to make Corbyn look like the martyred John the Baptist- who was killed by a Jew.

The Guardian, it’s editor and it’s cartoonist Steve Bell are racist, fascist Jewhaters. Boycott The Guardian. (Johnathan Freedland : do you have no shame remaining employed by this rag? Please try find employment with a respectable newspaper. I’m sure The Times would love to have

The outrage from the same people who would apparently defend free speech to their dying day is perfectly packaged hypocrisy. Waiting for the JesuisSalome hashtag.

The comments on here are fucking hilarious

No need to draw imaginary links to Nice when Macron himself is a bigot. The real link is the Israeli lobby going after Jeremy Corbyn's head. That's the real story behind this cartoon. At least SteveBell does not have blood on his hand/pen...

Wow. Usually buy on sat for the magazine etc but not today - hard to know how you could have been any more offensive and out of touch

For a Corbyn fanboy like Steve it’s a curious take. Whilst it contains his predictable brand of antisemitism, it also reminds viewers that the Jews were sovereign in Israel 2000+ years ago, which is an inconvenient truth for many corbynistas

Appalling, never mind your disrespect to Jewish ppl and Labour leader, you don’t show any care to french ppl. Disgusting so called news paper.

He'll be skewered, possibly bankrupted by lawsuits now. If Labour hadn't ditched him they'd be liable too. Sad really for a party that supposed to represent the working people and oppressed by the system has let this happen. I'm genuinely saddened. 😢

As a long term Guardian subscriber I think this is hideously ill-timed and inappropriate.

Thought Steve Bore had been sacked.

This is disgusting antisemitism in itself.

Absolutely awful.

I'd say you should be ashamed of this but I'm probably wasting my time!

V insensitive re France but also Bell is insinuating that jews are a hidden, bloodthirsty entity able to exact revenge on anyone they don't like. A classic antisemitic trope!

Bad taste at present re beheading in France.

I am really shocked at this cartoon. For 5 years your journalists have kept me sane and appraised but after what has happened recently in France and could happen anywhere, you publish this...speechless.

I kind of saw this more as a slight on Starmer than support of Corbyn or attack on the EHRC report. An insincere fool offering the head of a martyr(cult is often used) thinking its all he needs to do to placate the masses. But perhaps Im biased, I bloody love Steve Bells cartoons

Dreadful on every level. Get squires_david to do the political cartoon, he's actually funny.

That's about as inappropriate as it gets. Sick.

Is it supposed to be John the Baptist and Salome. It doesn't seem an apt comparison. Starmer serving Corbyn's head on a platter is apt. Given the lack of any other reference points I think some are reading too much into this. What does Bell say?

Perhaps it's time he retired.

Tasteless in view of what just happened in France

David Cameron has beheaded Colin Welland? What the hell are you trying to say here?

Is it any wonder that your newspaper, founded on the back of the profits made by your founder's cotton plantations worked with slave labour, has never been truly popular. Surprised OwenJones84 's principles allow him to continue to work for you!

How very appropriate. Not like someone was beheaded in France yesterday. The left really know how to read a room don’t they!

Another excretable effort. Isn’t it time you put him out to grass?

I think it's fair to say that this was at best I'll judged

ArtCrunchy Starmer's smugness is caught well

It's more sneakily racist this one. Not as directly racist as the one of Patel as a cow

The fact this hasn't been deleted speaks volumes, still at least by printing out the cross word without registering or paying for the paper I am not supporting you financially.

Christ this looks more like David Cameron than Keir Starmer. Just bad art... plus the other stuff of course

Well, it seems Keir delivering on this matter was not good enough for some people; viz Michael Gove's letter to him. So Steve needs to illustrate the point, clearly Righties cannot read situations or statements, but it seems toons really do get them foaming. It's hilarious to see

This is disgusting, portraying Corbyn as a victim. Consider my subscription cancelled as of immediately.

Christ this is just awful.

Steve Bell is a bad cartoonist. He has been bad for a long time. It’s inexplicable that the Guardian, an otherwise great newspaper, continues to publish him.

After yesterday in France..Disgraceful 🤬

Oh for Gods sake can’t we all just calm down. This is a free country and I for one support Mr Bells right to be an utter cunt of a pro-Corbyn cultist. Of course Jezza is the victim here and shouldn’t have to apologise for any hurts to Jews under his leadership.

Christ, there's a lot of pearl clutching in these comments. You've all been duped. If you think an Israeli life is intrinsically more valuable than a Palestinian life (or vice versa), you're a cancer on the body politic and should recognise yourself as such..

'Hey Steve, can you do Corbyn's head on a plate, like Jewish Salome requested? Makes Corbyn look like a martyr and squeezes in a bit of 'Jews = evil'.' 'On it, boss,'

Why don't you examine this video?

It's distasteful on many levels but in this country we're allowed to be distasteful. People are allowed to express their opinion. I am going to express my opinion right now by cancelling my direct debit to the Guardian Newspaper.

An ill timed visual given the circumstances of events which happened in France. Which we can only assume is an editorially ill conceived intent.

The intertextual references make this cartoon disgraceful. It's anti-Semitic in itself. Corbyn chose to try to undermine the work of the EHRC -he's the author of his own fate.

There is no wonder this paper is practically bankrupt. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Illustrating antisemitism with a trope of Christian martyrdom to a Jewish king. Whatever people think about yesterday’s events that’s disgusting

Tasteless

This beggars belief. The guardians time is over when it is so tone deaf as to think this is appropriate.

Pieces of shit.

Steve Bell - consistently crude and tasteless whatever the occasion.

Ever wonder why readers are stopping their subscriptions. The Guardian, employing and empowering cranks and bullies.

Nothing to be proud of at all.

Solidarity with Jeremy Corbyn. Corbyn is a lifelong anti-racist & anti-fascist, who has been suspended for his refusal to abandon his support for anti-colonialism & anti-imperialism. Solidarity with Palestine. WeStandWithCorbyn

Wow that was well thought out Guardian. Totally disgusting with the current news from France.

Utterly disgraceful.

This is absolutely appalling in view of what’s happened in France.

Guardian headlines hit rock bottom

The valuable insights of Steve Bell

Oh well done, - publish this the day after some vile scum goes into a church and tries to behead people, why don't you? Because it's all so hilarious, isn't it? If there was ever a time to tell Bell he's delighted us long enough, this is it.

you might want to delete this and get rid of Bell while you’re at it, he hasn’t been funny for 30 years

Why on earth would you consider this acceptable?

The new normal. Muslim attacks are becoming so common they fail to register surprise.

The Guardian is shameless.

You have got to me f**king kidding me.

WTF?

Bell is a sicko!

Not long until you go bust thankfully.

What the hell is this?

Thanks again for showing people your true face.

Awful. Stop it

Interesting that Mr Bell has changed the usual hairstyle he gives David Cameron. Not the best timing for a beheading cartoon.

What has happened to the Guardian?

Oh dear

Distasteful after the events in France.

Salome this week, blood libel next? Staggeringly hypocritical

Just wow. The guardian showing the world just how out of touch the left really is with this totally inappropriate carton published amid beheadings in France. The worst part is, this kind of behaviour & insensitivity is expected & deemed OK by these types of ppl & organisations.

You should be ashamed to publish this racist shit.

Tastless

I'm surprised Steve didn't draw Keir receiving 30 pieces of silver from an Orthodox Rabbi for services rendered. It would seem consistent with his usual sketches.

Seriously? You publish this cartoon in the wake of the horrific deaths in France. Is their no editorial control that might have judged this to be inappropriate.

Just when you thought the left couldn't get any lower.

This cartoon is abhorrent. Shame on The Guardian for publishing it.

Shameful, so inappropriate in view of events in France. Totally disgraceful. Sadly coming from the Guardian not a surprise.

Why are left wing cartoons always so gross and cringe? Compare to Steve Bell’s cartoons, which are classy, subtle, but also viciously critical of the government at the same time.

Reported for hateful imagery

Abhorrent. Delete this.

This is some hot take.

The shit paper.

Oh and incidentally, I remember ages ago when you published a cartoon by Steve Bell in which a dog repeated the Shahada. How about running that one past us again?

Holy fcking hell delete this

This references John the Baptist & Salome. The epitome of the righteous christian killed at the hands of a nefarious jewess. A medieval antisemitic trope. This is sinister and vile.

So CORBYN is the 'victim'? And I thought it was us Jews. Silly me. stevebell

Is it funny because of all the beheadings in France?

In the light of the recent attack on a teacher in France this is tasteless, ill-timed, pointless and a very stupid cartoon

Got any more racist cartoons of Priti Patel lined up for us? ScumMedia

The Guardian learning no lessons, a bit like Corbyn

Corbyn gone. Guardian next? That's appalling.

This is atrocious. How did it make it through whatever editorial process you had? It’s poorly executed and in unbelievably poor taste. I have supported the Guardian for years as the one beacon in a sea of right-wing crap but no longer. No other minority is treated this way.

This is genius - Steve Bell is the best cartoonist and satirist the Guardian has... so obviously he's not staying on contract beyond next year :/

That's my subscription cancelled.

Unacceptable

What the actual f*** is this

Antisemitism *and* islamophobia in one image? I'd almost be impressed if I wasn't busy cancelling the direct debit. Goodbye.

Shameful.

A desperately tired metaphor that also manages to insult the real, current, victims of beheadings. Shame on you Guardian. Go bust soon.

Utterly tasteless after the beheading in Nice.

Why is Robert Key serving Harold Shipman's head on a platter?

That is *so* Guardian. To think you are suing grauniadmeme for taking the piss on this kind of stuff.

Wow. Steve Bell is a Champions League class Thundercunt

How dreadful. There’s no comparison to the murder of innocent worshippers in Nice. I don’t support Starmer’s action, but it should not be compared to a killing outrage against French citizens which used a religious motive. We are free to point out this is unjustified.

I'm glad your finances are in the toilet.

People have long suspected loves a good beheading.

Mocking the massacre of Catholics. Evil

no thanks

No one reads it anymore.

Beheading in France this week. Yet you think this cartoon is appropriate?

What do you expect from this gutter rag. The guardian's editors have no decency.

This is just distasteful & disrespectful on a grand scale. Could they sink any lower in the gutter.

This is appalling

Just no

Wtf

Absolutely vile

Appalling

Absolutely disgusting from the Guardian. Nut surprising but disgusting all the same.

That's a good look for the Guardian...

No wonder your sales are in free fall

I expected better of you. This shows an appalling lack of judgement and is totally insensitive. Crass.

Exactly what you would expect from The Guardian.....

This is shamefull

Not opening the comments on this one lads

A bit insensitive at the moment don't you think?

You know somebody was just beheaded in a church in Nice don’t you? I’m all for freedom of expression - I just think this cartoon is in very bad taste right now.

Steve Bell gonna Steve Bell.

Reported.

And they wonder why people don’t give them money.

Tasteless, inappropriate and horrendous timing. Shame on you

Two people were decapitated in Nice and you publish this ‘joke’. 🤷‍♀️

Awww the labour lot are getting offended by a cartoon, but you take the piss out of Boris, hypocrites.

Christians have been beheaded in France yesterday and this is what you are running! This!!!!!!! Disgusting

Another nail in the UKLabour coffin.

Wow... and so it goes on. Yet another AS trope right there, putting Corbyn’s defenestration down to the meddling J*ws...

I am hoping the decision to publish this cartoon wasn't just 'clickbait' I can see little other reason - poor editorial judgement.

gutter

Wow. Three beheadings in France and this is what you come up with regarding anti-semitism

I preferred it when he focuses on scoring goals for Wolves.

...not the best of timing!

You do know what happened in Nice don’t you? I know news is not your forte but still.

Ah, the good old self righteous Left... can you imagine the Guardian readers response had something similar appeared in the D Mail (or the D Heil) as they so cleverly call it)?

The Guardian is the definition of a gutter press - but at least we still hv some sort of free speech

I wonder if The Guardian would ever have the balls to represent Islam in this way? No, of course not full of the mentally ill pro Islam terrorists.

Steve Bell has a long history of antisemitic racism. You should have fired him years ago. This disgraceful cartoon not only makes light of the tragic killings in Nice, it also alludes to Salome and Herod (who were Jewish). It's a coded reference to the Christ-killer trope. FFS.

Ah, the good old self righteous Left...

What’s piersmorgan got to do with it?

NatalieHats Disgusting but not unexpected from trash like Steve Bell writing for a gutter newspaper

You are free to publish this. But you are nonethless morally repugnant for doing so.

Oh Steve Bell you are a W⚓ aren't you

please remove this. I’m appalled to see this today. Have some compassion for the people that lost their lives! franceattack compassion LabourAntisemitism

Sick

Absolutely shameful and appalling - beyond belief. The sooner your cat-litter tray liner rag disappears the better. Antisemitism LabourAntisemitism nevercorbyn ExpelCorbyn

I don't buy your paper, but I admire your earthy resolve in publishing the parody. The uneducated always dispose an affected reverence for Art, Religion, and 'Culture'.

Ah...The week that a teacher is beheaded on the streets...

Shocking. I am lost for words. What have the Guardian become?

If you run out of toilet paper during the second wave, suggest you use the Guardian. That's really all its fit for........

Freedland, Freeman and a few more of the Guardian's unbearable shits will be thoroughly pissed off by this. Which is nice.

I don't know why you thought it was ok to publish that. It crosses a line. Take it down.

Whats with Starmers lipstick? You know something we dont know?

This is proper racist.

Pretty tasteless, but then you do employ idiots like Owen Jones so we can’t expect too much

How could anyone think this appropriate today of all days?

Disgraceful

Why the hell are you publishing a cartoon featuring blatant anti-Semitic tropes, ? This is pretty obviously disgusting, and even more so in the current climate. What on Earth were you thinking?

Appalling from Steve Bell and the Guardian editors.

On a day an old lady had her head hacked off in church, this is beyond provocative and certainly not clever. It’s not worth the offence it causes.

Wow! Could you sink any lower given events in France? Still, when the BBC have been defunded there will be no one to buy your rag.

Of all the images that could have been used, I'm not sure that a more inappropriate one could have been made during this week. I'd have gone for Starmer knocking Corbyn off his bike. At a push.

Really? So inappropriate, whoever ok'ed this to print is mental , verging on sicko..

Bit inappropriate given the beheading in France.

From serving British military using Jeremy Corbyns photo in a shooting range to this. This guy was going to help the many but you went with another of Murdoch's puppets. Hopefully the chance hasn't gone.

Why are you printing this racist?

I thought Steve Bell had been sacked? And if not, why not?

To be fair to the Guardian they probably won't find out about what happened in France for a few weeks.

This is so not f*cking cool

Dreadful.

Well done Guardian. You're not 100% crap.

Awesome.

Bellend

So Starmer is Salome, being given Corbyn's head at the instigation of an unseen, King Herod figure? And that's the response to a report on anti-semitism?!

Seriously, the Guardian- the Guardian of what?

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Lots of people here that have been condemning muslims for getting offended at cartoons are currently getting offended at a cartoon lol.

Time for Bell to go away.

Brilliant.

is terrible

This manages to be offensive on so many levels including being anti Semitic the only response should have been “fucking hell Steve Bell go do something else”. Instead you published it. This is Daily Mail level work

The brass neck of people getting upset about this cartoon potentially &/or unintentionally causing offence in the Guardian but being fully supportive of Charlie Hebdo publishing a cartoon that deliberately set out to cause offence & had precedent for inciting a violent response

A genuinely appalling cartoon at any time, but even more so today. reflect on the imagery and for goodness sake have some shame.

Jesus is there no limit to the depravity of this vile rag and it’s disgusting excuses for gutter trash journos Highly inappropriate! ScumMedia

Salome the bad Jew beheads John the good Christian. 100% deliberate. Bell assuming that he’s too clever for anyone to notice. Revolting and shameful. AntiSemitism

This is beneath you, for so many reasons. Take it down and apologise.

Really on today of all days...🤔

enough,jews should share the same rights as others,is there tiring that in media always are showed how poor nation it is,how many distresses they were through!

Obvious what you're attempting to provoke here. You've created a cartoon designed to sicken Europe. And when we point that out, the Islamists will pop up & say: 'Now you know how we feel about offensive cartoons.' But you're not comparing like with like & the timing is heartless.

This is abhorrent

Why do you publish this Stop the War crank on your site?

Haven't we had enough beheadings for one day, Guardian? 🤦

A devout Roman Catholic is beheaded, and two others killed including a Sacristan father of two, and you publish this dog faeces? You wouldnt offend muslims. We are just scum to you aren't we?

This just awful. I going with the moronic label. Fool.

'Steve Bell *ADDS TO* Labour's antisemitism woes.' Get a copy-editor on it right away. And then never ever hire Steve Bell for anything else ever because christ the state of this.

Edgy, fair enough

Sorry, but your newspaper is disgusting.

Is this deliberately grossly offensive or just a very, very dumb error of judgement?

Such a bad take

Get2F.

In terms of reading the room, this is illiterate.

Cobblers vs Nobblers - the fight for Labour's soul...

Disgusting.

Begging everyone for money while you put insensitive shit like this out

I don't get it, an Islamofascist decapitated Steptoe, and Morrissey is upset about it?

Are you fucking kidding me?! What the Hell is wrong with you people?

Putz

Bell is really really bad at this. His love for Corbyn really hampers whatever creative output he has left.

Vile.

This is outrageous in light of what's happened today in France. ScumMedia

Steve Bellend.

Very poor taste, even for the gutter the Guardian’s readers inhabit.

I'm no fan of Comrade Steptoe whatsoever but in light of recent, horrific events in France this is woefully bad taste. Par for the course for the Guardian and just another reason that I hope they go bust ASAP.

The guardian is well and truly in the gutter.

Wrong on so many levels.

Seriously? This is so many shades of wrong today I don’t know where to start.

A biblical reference, oh you brave jelly fish. Corbyn LabourAntisemitism FranceBeheading

Given what occurred to Christians in France today this is a shitty look

Really ..... no class, no humanity and no sense

This is in shockingly bad taste.

Is Keir_Starmer suppose to be pouting like EmilyThornberry ?

Truth by cartoon = excellent

Well, this is clearly hideously racist. The fact you can't see why is exactly the problem.

Is the guy holding the platter supposed to be Keir Starmer or David Cameron? Hard to tell.

This is appalling.

Disgusting

😥

Wrong, wrong, very wrong.

Why is this still up? In case you aren't familiar with the origins of this image

I cannot even begin to say how offensive that cartoon is. What idiot thought that was suitable? Putting Starmer in the painting as Salome (Jew) and Corbyn as John the Baptist? Disgusting and abhorrent.

What is actually wrong with you?

I'm pissed off at this as I'm a stupid tory twat and even I've had enough of this government, but this shit just means that twat Boris is in power for even longer..!

The day I fucking subscribe to your premium subscription to get rid of those horrid popups and KathViner and the editorial 'geniuses' green light this shit! Fucking cancelled next month.

Not acceptable on any level. Complaint going in.

Utter trash.... turd after turd tweets! 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

Sick.

Great timing from the lefts elite paper!! Showing a beheading at this time....

Good god you really are in the wilderness aren’t you.

So Corbyn's a martyr now, is he? Seems that the Guardian too is minimising antisemitism.

May be in the minority here, but defend your right to publish offensive cartoons. Freedom of expression means we can all gauge the depth of the hole in which the Guardian has decided to sink itself. Going down...

What can one expect from a man who produces this? SteveBell

After the recent events in France how can you possibly think it OK to publish this? What on Earth is wrong with you!

This is pretty disgusting on numerous levels

poor taste is an understatement...to describe this.

The Guardian is a racist endeavour. Steve Bell is an antisemite.

1. This is anti-semitic. 2. Nice. Where is your editor tonight

1. This is anti-semitic 2. Nice Where is your editor tonight

Haven't thought that through 😡😡😡

Classy 🤮

No.

Despicable. The should know better.

Just when you thought the Guardian couldn’t sink any lower. It’s demise is surely inevitable.

Fucking. Hell. Really?

piersmorgan can you have a word?

Really?

I won’t be donating to you again.

that's one lousy cartoon, allright

Salome slice.

On the day a woman was beheaded by an Islamist terrorist in a Nice church? Really?

Tasteless.

This is shameful!

Oh no. This is a horrible cartoon. Please take it down.

Why would you publish that? Christ on a bike

Who the actual fuc* thought this was a good idea !!!

The Guardian looking to go down with Corbyn

Seriously?

This is really ugly. You should take it down.

Poorly judged

After a day like today this is absolute bilge - to be expected from the low standards Bell sets but what about editorial standards from the papers seniors?

How disgusting.

Bell by name...

This makes no sense, and is not funny, thought provoking or enlightening, on any level. But presumably the reaction here is enough for you to consider it a success. Which as a supporter of your paper I find sad.

Truly idiotic and offensive.

Not good noting the terrorism in France!

This paper needs shutting down.

Highly offensive and inappropriate. I’m a subscriber. Please delete.

Put an end to Bell’s rubbish, please.

Really depressing that you chose to publish this, . We all need you to do better.

Come on guys read the room ffs 🤦🏻‍♂️

superbayrton There’s bad judgement and then there’s this.

If this is still available in the morning, I'm cancelling by subscription to the Guardian. Very, very disappointed.

Disgusting

oh dear, you'll regret this.

Embarrassing

Awful. And so sadly unsurprising

Haven’t you been under scrutiny before for publishing Bell’s cartoons featuring antisemitic tropes? This one’s hardly subtle. Particularly awful in light of terror attacks in France.

For crying out loud what is wrong with you all. Spectacularly bad, in so many ways

Wow totally disgusting in the context of what happened today.

How on earth has this cleared editorial?

Utterly abhorrent. What on earth were Steve Bell, the editors and this twitter admin thinking? Have you all managed to be completely oblivious to the news from France?

needs to go, how can they do this with what's happened to that poor French teacher, be ashamed be very ashamed.

WatchRatio screenshot in case you’re blocked

Wow that’s a little bit too right wing for The Guardian 😂

You're not actually gonna print this crap are you?

I'm French and not offended by this cartoon. Then again I'm a citizen of France, not a member of some cult dictating my every move.

This antisemitic middle class privileged rag is vile

I'm curious as to how many of the people slating this cartoon are declaring their support for the Charlie Hebdo ones... Any thoughts?

Not your finest hour

this is sick - cancelled my subscription

Absolutely sick - take a look at yourself

How can you publish this?. It’s not even funny.

You really are a revolting part of the MSM.

Pretty poor show, I'd say.

That’s abhorrent

This should not have made it past even a junior editor. Have a word with yourselves and move past Bell. He's proved to be problematic and there must be younger, sharper cartoonists who need the work.

WTF. The guardian culture hits a new low. This is the paper whose journalist took such pleasure in the police woman being knocked off her horse during BLM riots and which depicted Priti Patel in such a gross way. Something very wrong with the culture.

This is offensive on so many levels

How tasteless. On the same day as people were beheaded in France, and a week after a teacher met the same fate. Really? disgusting

This is revolting. Just stop.

A bit tasteless, considering what is happening in France.

That's a bit rich since Corbyn supports the people doing the beheadings.

Blimey...... how much lower can you go You can’t really, can you. That’s in the sewer, that one!!!!

Niente. Voi e l’antisemitismo sempre a braccetto. vergogna

I’m afraid I don’t understand this. How is it funny or clever? Please explain.

Steve Bell should have been pensioned off years ago.

'After Caravaggio...' John the Baptist's death was called for by Herod the Jewish king. Is this another of Steve Bell's Jewish puppet-master cartoons?

Oh dear

Bye Guardian. You utter fools

KathViner NickCohen4 this Steve Bell cartoon is disgusting - the Guardian should apologise given recent events in France. What are they playing at !

Wtf!!!

Genius. Manages to be both antisemitic and tasteless, in light of the murders in France, at the same time. Truly, peak Guardian.

😳🤦🏻‍♀️

And you're publishing this? Disgusting

Holy fuck, this is appalling on so many levels. Shame on whichever of the editorial team thought this was acceptable.

Disgraceful yet utterly predictable.

KathViner owen_g can you explain the reference here please? And if you can’t, I would suggest speaking to someone who can explain it to you.

No.

Absolutely disgraceful. On the day of another French beheading. You are Scum Guardian

Bell and The Guardian managers would be beheaded if this was mocking Islam.

The Guardian using the idiot Steve Bell.

WTAF?

philt5116 Sooooo. Satirical cartoon upsets a few people. If I was Steve Bell I'd call that a result.

Pathetic.

Shameful, he should be sacked!

That would be hideous under any circumstances, but less than 24 hours after the attack in Nice is beyond belief.

Wow. Either The Guardian is a newspaper not following recent news, or has the most stunning lack of tact. Or maybe their cartoonist is an unbelievable prick. Or all of the above.

The Guardian - comment is free but censorship is better.

Delete your cartoonist.

Awful awful awful. What on earth were you thinking.

No.

Wow this is shit, even for you guys.

I’ve cancelled my direct debit.

really ? I mean really?

No.

you have mistyped 'Steve Bell, one of Labour's antisemitism woes'

Not sure if you have actually seen the news but this is in terrible taste for many reasons. Could you just remove it please.

Non story......🙄

Sorry, that’s not acceptable.

Yea stuff like this is why I cancelled my subscription

This is disgusting and should be removed immediately

You know that coffee you keep asking me not to buy but give you the money instead? Well, I’ve just ordered a large one and a double portion of cake with cream and chocolate sauce

Breathtakingly insensitive

Shame on you. Think of what is happening in France. Think of how failure to deal with anti semitism and obstinate defence of the indefensible needs to be addressed. Judt think again and apologise profoundly. As a reader since 1960 I am ashamed of you.

Fucking disgraceful

Wow. It's almost like there wasn't a beheading today.

Steve Bell's caricatures are equally as shit as his sense of humour.

Tone deaf.

Pathetic magazine

You’re a newspaper, right? You know what’s in the news?

You need to take this down.

You know that coffee you keep asking me to not buy but give you the money instead? Well, I’ve just ordered a large one and a fucking cake

Who thought this was a good idea? Why is Steve Bell still employed in 2020, given his shameful track record?

Steve Bell seems at the very least insensitive... given today's events in France.

Lol

Speechless. What on Earth are you still doing paying this man?

Bad timing, bad taste, bad judgement.

This is reprehensible

Totally revolting and I’m a fan.

What do you expect from a publication that was founded by profits from the slave trade? Still racist after all these years.

Why is this odious man still working for you - beheadings today

What the actual fuck guys?

Fuck, that’s poor

He and you have done this on purpose, today of all days. Wow so edgy 🙄

Steve Bell is vile.

That’s a shocker. FFS. Very poor judgement.

That's awful and offensive

Shockingly poor taste, on a day when Christians have been beheaded whilst at divine worship.

Shameful, gross lack of judgment. Seriously after what happened in France today. Take this down now.

Bring me the head of Jez the Apologist!

Edgy 🙄

Horrible for many reasons. Take it down.

Disgraceful. Please remove.

Delete this. Shameful.

Yes, and what now happens to Baroness Shameless, aka Shami Chakrabarti shamichakrabar1 who was elevated to the House of Lirds solely on her ‘whitewash’ report? OwenJones84 must be held accountable too.

Brilliant cartoonist but even I think he may have crossed a ‘decency’ line on this one.

Seriously?

This 'joke' is in incredibly poor taste given the recent beheadings in France. You guys sink lower and lower each day.

That's in horrible taste on several levels.

I suspect I won't be the only one.

Why would morrissey do this

Utterly disgusting

Seriously bad judgment printing this. You need to show Steve Bell the door.

Very poor

Worst cartoon ever.

Why do you continue to employ this man? Not only is this anti Semitic but he’s no longer funny or relevant as a cartoonist. Time for Bell to be put out to grass along with Corbyn

Wow. And not in a good way

Awful. Take it down

Whoever agreed to this should resign immediately!

On a couple of levels this stinks ..Steve Bell end

This is disgraceful. Shame on you!

Some people being assholes doesn’t mean the party is inherently anti Semitic it’s actually mental people believe this shit

A remarkable cartoon in which Bell proudly projects the astounding depths of his own monstrousness. A professional suicide note, one hopes.

Have Steve Bell’s kids been held hostage by a trans-ISIS-Trotskyist cult in a basement in Portland for the past ten years?

Appalling. Mr Corbyn dictated his own suspension by continuing to deny his own responsibility as leader and by his support for the legitimising of anti semitism in the Labour Party.

FRANCE24

Really, NO. This is not funny. See France.

Tasteless.

It’s sickening and you’re disgraceful.

Desperate stuff. Indefensible. Don't expect a subscription any time soon.

Is everyone at The Guardian really that f*****g stupid!?!

The fuck?

You let Dougal do a funeral?

What the actual fuck? So soon after a beheading in France? This is all you have taken away from this? Plus, the drawings are really shit

The Guardian trying to cover up their full backing of the racist and terrorist loving Corbyn. Complicit in antisemitism.

Oh, that's disgusting.

What is the matter with you? Disgraceful.

Antisemitic Steve Bell. No thanks cranks.

You think this is clever, yes? Which is why I will never pay to support your content.

OMG. Seriously. What a grotesque cartoon.

‘To continue to support the guardians impeccable journalism, why not donate just £1’... no thanks.

Some sick shit considering events in Nice. made a mistake printing this fucker's unfunny bile.

What’s piers Morgan got to do with it?

What no letters from Holocaust deniers pretending to be Jewish to publish?

it seems more like the 's anti-semitism to most of us.

Hasn't been funny or relevant for 30 years.

OMG

Poor show given France. Tone deaf. Sorry, but tone deaf.

Disgusting. You really are a bunch of madmen & women.

I'm not sure you could have been more tin-eared if you'd actually tried. Samuel Paty, the Nice attack, & didn't you do RE at school? Salome, daughter of Herodias, was not invented by Oscar bloody Wilde, y'know.

WTF!!! Have you gone stark staring mad!

What the actual fuck? Was the brief ‘be as offensive and inappropriate as possible’?

Bell isn't much good these days. Desperate shame. He used to have some talent.

Fucking hell The Guardian this is grim. Take it down.

Seriously?

Vile. Take a look at yourselves

Disgusting from a so called ‘responsible’ paper! Take it down and apologise!

TobyRadford1 Classy paper 😳😕🤔

Shitty

Good god. That’s spectacularly awful on so many fronts.

Bad call. Take it down.

Very bad taste especially after the events in Nice earlier

You bastards.

pathetic, timing is tasteless and as so often with Bell these days it’s not remotely funny or clever.

Bad taste through and through.

Wow you really are trawling the sewer depths. Deploying an antisemitic cartoonist to portray a decapitation on the day of a French tragedy. Disgusting rag.

Same day someone was beheaded.. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Absolute state of this.

Who the fvck is editing the Guardian. Beyond expectations ( which is a low bar)

There’s people being killed by certain religious groups for posting cartoons

Mr. Paty did stand for free expression that's not say his family will be or should be pleased by Mr. Bells cartoon.

for fcks sake lads

The fact you publish this tells more about your own editorial standards than bell's low grade efforts. Risible

Gross.

Is this the same cartoon guy who did that disgusting cartoon about Scottish independence in 2014?

A not very funny cartoon. That is all there is to see. A nothingness .

Remarkable lack of self awareness from Steve Bell here, pretty much mirroring how Labour got itself into this mess in the first place. I don’t mind satire being tasteless, but I do like it focused and on target. Otherwise it’s just a shit painting.

Tone deaf - utterly tone deaf

Another low point in Bell’s waning career, fully justifying the Guardian’s decision to part ways with him. This should not have been published.

Why didn’t you just put ‘We are a set of gormless arseholes’ on your front page?

Now I used to like Steve Bell a lot and find him funny but really....no, not this ☹️

Bad timing. Surprised it’s not been taken down.

No. Just no.

Horrendous

Oh dear.

Guess you’ll be gone in few years. You can’t make money only being read my middle age white lecturers.

😮

Pretty poor timing and bad taste, no?

About as low as it's possible to sink.

Pretty impressive cartoon, manages to be both antisemitic and islamophobic all at once.

Seriously? I’m going to cancel my subscription - I’ve come close over the treatment of Suzanne Moore, but this is beyond the pale

What on earth are you doing?

Disgraceful

Who are you trying to please starmer, you're just telling other members that they can be sacrificed for your tory gods

This is horrible. Corbyn as John the Baptist, ie: a subversion of the Jew’s head on a platter in preparation for the coming Christian Messiah. He knows what he’s saying here - it’s not a dog whistle it’s foghorn Jew hate.

Just let Squires do all your cartoons from now on, this is embarrassing.

Abysmally bad taste and tone deaf. That is typical of Steve Bell. He is one of the reasons it will be a cold day in hell you receive a pence from me. It is not like that is a first in abysmal taste for his cartoons.

Sick

Yup, think I'll just cancel my subscription now. Bell is foul, your paper benefits from Cummings and you still employ the Marxist Schoolboy. I really have enough shite in my life without this peurile nonsense. Ciao baby

This is horrible

This is disgraceful. Why are you publicising it?

So you believe 12 hours is time enough for a beheading with religious connotations to have lost its tragic horror?

Is that Ed Balls?

Crap_Portraits can you explain why the lead singer of Erasure is so happy to have the head of David Bellamy?

This is so fucking disgusting in every single way. Delete it and issue an apology you awful excuses for humans. (Not the poor sod who runs twitter, they're just doing their job)

😬

Really?

Appalling metaphor. The Jewish leader Herod who has the prophet John the Baptist killed. The prophet who was the lone voice in the desert calling for a new way of living. Wtf.

The guardian. The newspaper for the good guys 🥴 look at the time it was published FFS.

Shit

Did what happened in Paris this morning pass you by?

A biblical reference as a response to a news story about antisemitism is perhaps surprising, but a biblical story with a decapitated head? Shame on you.

So Steve Bell shows Starmer as Herod, the king of the jews, holding the head of Corbyn, as John the Baptist, in a week that that has seen two religious beheadings in France. Who edits the paper?

Reported!!!

Wow, so Bell approves of antisemitism?

Yeah, that'll be removed

What the fuck are you doing?

Steve Bell. Still the best cartoonist by miles. Stop being so sanctimonious.

Now this is epic

That’s incredibly bad taste at any time but especially today. Wow. Misjudged .

Is this a reference to the order of Herod Antipas to bring John the Baptist's head on a platter ?

The same Steve Bell that was prevented from publishing antisemitic cartoons by the Guardian previously?

Are you absolutely sure about this? No just Antisemitism but victimhood now too!? Concerning to think the Guardian is one of the few newspapers to the left of centre in the UK.

You can't help yourselves can you? And the irony is that the Corbyn cultists despise you regardless.

Gave up buying the Guardian once I realise just how full of shit Owen Jones and Seumas Milne really are.

What a shower the guardian is. Disgusting rag.

Out of touch as usual! You do know what happened in France today. I’m not sure whether you’re sick, vile or plain moronic

Unbelievably tasteless. Please delete

He hasn't been funny for nearly 40 years. And this is ghastly.

Another of the many reasons not to buy your paper. Rather read the McDonalds menu

If you voted for Corbyn & his Labour Party. You are either a racist anti-Semite or enabled Corbyn & the Labour Party's racism and anti-Semitism. You should be wholly ashamed of yourself, as those who voted/worked for the BNP should be.

Those complaining at this, it’s Steve Bell, he has form. The Guardian forever has the begging bowl out, but they always have enough to pay Steve ..

Ugh.

Yuck

Steve Bell needs to be put out to pasture. He was never funny.

This is doubly revolting given today's events in Nice, on top of you publishing an antisemite *again.*

Be sure to read the replies.

Imagine kissing someone who thinks Steve Bell is funny.

Not worthy of you Steve Bell

I remember when you were a decent newspaper. It’s quite a while ago....

Although I understand what he's getting at, this morning started with news from Nice of a decapitation in a Church, so in my opinion it's not really appropriate but I'm not the Editor and her opinion is all that matters on whether to publish.

Fuck the Guardian.

W⚓s

Take this cartoon down now. Do you not see it’s similarities to what’s happening in France?

Unseemly. Steve Bell is a fool.

Bad timing and wrong prophet metaphor

Two people have been beheaded in the last week in France. You are sick

Sickening. A new low, even for the Guardian.

Starmer is a ... I can barely type it... a Jewish princess...? I’m sorry but shouldn’t they just sack him?

Grim. Doubling down on the racism. Sub cancelled.

Bit tasteless

Really terrible “cartoon”

What

Not been following the events in France then?

Quite spectacularly wrong on every f*cking level.

I’ll never read this paper again.

IpsoNews Please investigate this disgusting cartoon which was published on the day of a religiously motivated beheading of a Christian

Fucking hell! What on Earth are you thinking?

WTAF? Who thought this was an appropriate cartoon to print given the recent terrorist attacks in France? 😱 TVKev Iromg danwootton mrmarkdolan talkRADIO

I think not.

Disgusting

Fucking hell! What a shit this guy is.

Wtf?

If you voted for Corbyn & his Labour Party. You are either a racist anti-Semite or enabled Corbyn & the Labour Party's racism and anti-Semitism as much You should be wholly ashamed of yourself, as much as those who voted/worked for the BNP should be.

That's somewhat tasteless.

Delete this

Oh fucking hell, planning to make things worse with this?

Weird that I no longer subscribe for this shit

Another chucklesome effort by the racist Bell.

Really helpful guys, thanks so much.

Oops

Steve Bellend.

This is revolting

Steve nails it as ever. Starmer is a CNUT.

Goodness me this is so misjudged.

How very tone deaf you are.

Um, wtf?

Sickening considering what happened in France today.

OMG I can’t believe you’re actually printing this.

Foul especially after the awful beheading in Paris. Gutter

I thought that odious apparent anti-semite had been fired. This is disgusting.

I thought cartoons were also supposed to be funny? But I get the political reference. It shows Jeremy's halo has slipped down to his neck and Keir is trying to lift it back up. A bit banal?

Wrong on so many levels.

In the next cartoon, will you show Starmer using JC's blood to bake his maztos?

ffs guardian..

Delete this.

Read the room, fucking hell.

Are you out of your fucking tree? You think this appropriate?

can you please take this down?

Old woman decapitated in church by an islamic terrorist in France this morning but you print something like this. Very poor.

Unbelievable.

In what world is Corbyn analogous to John The Baptist?

Tone. Fucking. Deaf.

dear god, what the fuck?

Steve Bell is like the Underminer in the Incredibles “I’m beneath you, but nothing is beneath me” - can’t believe the Guardian isn’t ashamed they employ him but then I remember they were happy to spray bags of cash at Milne...

What a crazy take on this. Corbyn offered his own head on a platter by his stupid response. Typical Corbyn though.

Not sure the historical reference, given the form at play here, was the wisest thing, Guardian. Is there no-one on the editorial side prepared to say 'WHAT. THE. FUCK. ARE. YOU. DOING?' to Steve Bell?

Rancid. Put this one trick pony out to the paddock, or the glue factory.

Guys, no.

Seriously? As a response to today? Did none of you sit and have even a moment's thought about pushing this one out?

Why has Ellen hurt Obi Wan?

That's Steve Bell who drew antisemitic cartoons?

Poor effort & not worthy of the paper. Jez the Baptist is no martyr. His mealy-mouthed non apology & stubborn refusal to accept the report shows a man who never should have been leader.

The Guardians moral relativism on racism is an ugly, ugly hypocrisy.

Top drawer antisemitism. Bring me the head of the Baptist. Well done Guardian - what a disgrace.

In light of events in Paris, this is in very poor taste 💩🤮

Yes, and what now happens to Baroness Shameless, aka Shami Chakrabarti shamichakrabar1 who was elevated to the House of Lirds solely on her ‘whitewash’ report? OwenJones84 must be held accountable too.

Why are you still sharing crap like this from Steve bell?

Jez as John the Baptist ?

At last the Labour party is now a corporate lobby group complete with financing from corporate and state entities and has finally decided to turn it's back on socialism and anyone who supports the historical ideology of Labour. Thank god we now have a kinder Tory party in Labour.
