Colin Jory in Australia has sent me this grimly amusing poster. It advertises the London Underground system, or the tube as Londoners call it, and is displayed prominently in many tube stations throughout the nation’s capital city. It is darkly humorous and points an accusing finger at the dastardly king. One wonders whether a secret Catholic is involved in designing the advertising campaigns on London’s tube, engaging in a little surreptitious historical revisionism.
I have a saying: “Nobody thinks highly of Henry VIII; but no matter how bad you think he was, he was worse!”
Subvertising at its best!
