(Image taken from: http://www.davyking.com/Houses-of-Parliament-Corrupt.jpg)My third blog entry, rather than being about a particular Prime Minister or Government, is about the Houses of Parliament as a whole.
This image was created by, and is obviously aimed at, those people who hate virtually, if not all, MPs, never mind a particular party or ideology.
The sun shines and the way the image is framed doesn't make London look too bad on the day this photograph was taken. This helps show the comparison between the real world and the people within the Houses of Parliament. It shows that while the outside world is good and honest, the politicians within this building are scheming, lying, murderous bastards, to put it into the general public's opinion. The black "CORRUPT" lettering, to me, shows that MPs are unfaithful liars and murderers, everything that a saint (represented by white) isn't. It also provides a decent contrast with the background.
The way the image is taken, with everything either side of the Houses of Parliament in this image cropped off, shows that the Houses of Parliament are isolated, maybe isolated from the real world, but it also shows that it could be (literally) isolated from the real world. It could be trying to make the Houses of Parliament look like an isolated prison ala Alcatraz, which could be suggesting where these people belong, after all, prisons are also filled with murderers and fraudsters. Looking at it for a few moments, in this photo, the Houses of Parliament look slightly like a fortress.
The image is framed with the edges cut off to also direct the viewer's attention to the Houses of Parliament, as calling all MPs corrupt is the main objective of the image. The "CORRUPT", styled like the "INSANE" ink printed on a clinically insane prisoner's hand also goes to suggest that all MPs are corrupt, with the "CORRUPT" lettering hanging over the Houses of Parliament as this immediately says to the viewer that all MPs are corrupt, with nothing else in the image to make the viewer think that the "CORRUPT" relates to something else.
Needless to say, no matter how many times people protest like this, it is unlikely the lying, scheming and murdering will stop anytime soon!
