Tony Blair’s memoirs, The Journey

In an effort to learn a bit more and free myself from having an image totally influenced by what images I can find,  I set myself a task of ’shopping a hi-res image, creating some of it from small parts of other images. Obviously the composition and large parts of the pic are from a pretty famous photograph but the jeans, faceswaps, etc. etc. etc. are made from many, many images. The suit was probably created from a dozen different photos.
What an effing pain! I’m not doing that again in a hurry. I’m sure there are many glaring errors* but I really can’t be bothered.
*Nope, smartarse, Bush’s left arm is hidden behind Blair as was Yoko’s with Lennon in the original.
^^^this written at time of posting. Update – already submitted to photoshopdisasters but with a twist. The person who submitted it thinks that part of the unshopped original pic is wrong! In fact, it’s the supposed ‘discrepancy’ in the original I mentioned above. As I said when I posted the image, I’m sure there’s plenty wrong with it, so go for the bits I photoshopped.

News of the World puts its money where Max Clifford’s mouth is

(I bet the Conservatives and Andy Coulson are mighty relieved.)

Someone’s told to keep his mouth shut and receives a substantial payment to keep things out of court.

Law & Order, The Bill, Softly Softly?  Nope. Real life in the UK. It’s not as if the cops can (or is it want) to do anything about either the payments or the offence they seem to be related to. I can only think of one reason why they seem to have been dragging their heels.
