The Times and The Sunday Times has launched a new campaign that portrays politicians as animals in 'Westminster Zoo' as the publisher tries to reinforce its commitment to keeping readers informed in confusing times. Tamed' campaign anthropomorphizes politicians as animals in a similar vein to Orwell's Animal Farm. Designed by News UK's in-house agency, Pulse Creative, the ad sees squawking parrots, hysterical hyenas, slippery snakes and every-changing chameleons adorn the green benches of the House of Commons. Reiterating how it is newspaper's jobs to 'tame politics,' only the lion and the unicorn - from the crest in The Times masthead - can bring order to the proceedings. Then a 20-second ad launched across social media platforms, using the promoted hashtag #PoliticsTamed. John Witherow, editor of The Times, said: “As Britain’s most trusted national newspaper, The Times consistently provides quality journalism and incisive commentary from across the political spectrum. Our campaign captures the national mood of confusion and frustration, while we at The Times seek to bring clarity and balance to our reporting of this pivotal moment in British politics.” Catherine Newman, chief marketing officer at the publisher added: “Right now there is so much information from so many sources it's hard to make sense of it all. campaign aims to address this. "The Times has been making sense of politics since 1785, so when people don't know where to turn, we want to remind them that The Times and The Sunday Times offer the guidance and analysis they need. by Pulse Creative Added 1 day ago Agency: Pulse Creative Overall Rating 5/5 Vote

The animal was beaten and bruised by supporters of a political party Dubai: Amidst the election fever in Pakistan, an incident of animal abuse has taken over social media timelines in the country. On their Facebook page and Twitter account, the nonprofit group informed its followers about the abuse this animal had endured at the hands of supporters of a political party, who tortured the animal after writing the name of a political opponent on its body. In a detailed post, along with photographs of the animal, the group wrote: “With the upcoming elections looming upon us, no one is spared from the wrath this time...not even the most helpless of animals.” The post went on to describe the condition the animal was found in: “Beaten to pulp, punched in the face and abdomen several times, nose broken, kicked all over his body until he collapsed, has rope marks and a car rammed into him...all of this to describe one political party as an “ass” by some hooligans as written on the poor donkey’s body.” This has left social media users in the country shaken and furious at the same time. Tweep @RationalPakhtun wrote: “What amazes me the most is how people, especially the less educated ones, go to such extremes in their love and idolisation or hate of a person. First we should fix ourselves.” The animal rescue centre has refused to reveal the name of the political party, which was painted on the donkey’s body. They wrote: “We have blurred out the names on the donkey’s body as we will not involve ourselves in this mess.” However, there were some social media users who despite their post were urging them to name and shame the party and ask for an official apology from its leader. @e_zaad tweeted: “Can you please name that political party... because the leader of this political party should condemn this act and ask their workers not to do that again.” Many users just posted comments on both Facebook and Twitter to recognise the centre’s efforts and praise them for going out of their way to help an animal. I am an animal lover and trying to find about his health.” The group’s initial post has been shared over 7,000 times so far and to answer their followers’ questions, earlier this morning, the centre shared an update on the donkey, who they have named Hero. They wrote in a Facebook post: “We have named him ‘Hero’ as it takes a true hero of the heart to stand quietly, collapse helplessly, and endure painfully as this donkey did. All of this happened despite the presence of a law against animal abuse in the country.

(BETHPAGE, N.Y.) — Describing gang violence inflicted by MS-13 members in chilling and gruesome detail, President Donald Trump vowed Wednesday to make “radical” changes to U.S. aid practices by withholding government assistance from countries whose criminals slip into the United States. “We’re going to work out something where every time somebody comes in from a certain country, we’re going to deduct a rather large amount of money from what we give them in aid — if we give them aid at all,” Trump said during a roundtable discussion on MS-13 on New York’s Long Island attended by federal and local officials. Trump defended his references to MS-13 gang members as “animals” as he and others recounted a litany of hackings, decapitations, bludgeonings and other gruesome crimes that law enforcement authorities blame on the group. “I called them animals the other day and I was met with rebuke,” Trump said, referencing Democratic criticism. He specifically mentioned House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi as saying even gang members are people. During a similar roundtable last week at the White House, Trump used the word “animals” to describe some people who enter the country illegally, in response to a comment about MS-13. He later said he will continue to use the term when referring to the gang. MS-13, or the Mara Salvatrucha, is believed by federal prosecutors to have thousands of members across the U.S., primarily emigrants from Central America. It has a stronghold in Los Angeles, where it emerged in the 1980s as a neighborhood street gang, but it also has wreaked violence in cities and suburbs across the U.S., including Long Island. Trump in February threatened to cut off aid and slap sanctions on countries that refuse to accept nationals the U.S. tries to deport, saying, “If they don’t take ’em back, we’ll put sanctions on the countries, we’ll put tariffs on the countries.” He has also threatened to cut off aid to the countries, which include China and Sierra Leone, as well as countries that produce illegal drugs, saying they’re “not our friends.” Sitting at the table with Trump was Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, a frequent target of the president’s fury because he is overseeing the special counsel’s investigation into Russian election meddling.
