The perfect playing cards for politicos, from Protest and Survive
A set of Welsh Political Figures Playing Cards has just been released, featuring hand-drawn caricatures of 54 Welsh figures from across the political spectrum and across the decades. No prizes for guessing who one of the jokers is…
There are some lovely pictures in the full set, including David Lloyd George, Ramsay MacDonald and James Callaghan.
The set has been put together by political historian Professor Russell Deacon and artist Dan Peterson.
The Welsh playing cards are available from Protest and Survive [but alas no more].
Living in Wales (English, born and bred and proud), Ramsay Macdonald was born in Lossiemouth and was a Scot through and through… Am I correct?
Ah, but he was an MP in Wales!
Mark Pack GOOD GOD…I will look into that. Thats the first I knew. Mind you Callaghan was born in Portsmouth if I remember rightly and was well respected MP in Cardiff for years. There's a street named after him in the new Caridff Bay area.
Thanks for enlightening me!
