This cartoon by Garland from The Telegraph portrays world leaders, UK politicians (and Julian Assange) as circus acts. A nice metaphor for the uncertain year which awaits us all.
QUESTION
How many figures can you name? I think I've got them all (you may have difficulty with the UK politicians!)
VOCABULARY
Many expressions relating to the circus are used as metaphors in everyday language. Examples include walking the tightrope/highwire, going through the hoops, a balancing act, and juggling. Can you think of any others?
