Cartoon by Stephen Collins for The Guardian. Scene is a SUPERMARKET, a MAN is walking past a display of CREME EGGS with his trolley. 1 MAN: Tut 2 CREME EGG [talking to him from the shelf]: Excuse me - did you just tut at us? 3 MAN: W-what?

Great to speak to @mrjamesob.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk about the #ClarksonTax protests - watch the full interview:
