Red-Handed

      Well, I think we have it: the image of the campaign, this version from The Star:

A very uncomfortable-looking PM (does anyone remember the image from Macbeth about the usurping King's ill-fitting clothes?) dogged by a demonic parody of the traditional red-and-white. And as much as Mr. Martin remains in the foreground, it's obvious where the attention immediately goes: to scandal, and to a very prominent expression of discontentment.

Love him or hate him, I think this is the chrysalis image for Mr Martin and his campaign, the one that's going to go into the history books.
You've got to admit, though: Mr Martin's going down like Macbeth. And damned be him that first cries, 'Hold, enough!'
