Sorry man, I tried to download it for you and reupload to youtube and everything, but all it would copy was the fucking ad! What a shame, it's a great snippet.


Cheers man, thanks so much for trying... Deserves to be seen. I saw it go out live on TV and it was an awesome TV moment.

Wow, privatising health care? Some terrible ideas just don't die, do they? When this idea was pushed in the 80s here in Oz, it kept the tories out of government for another ten years.
Are the Lib Dems participating in this?


Oh yes, to a degree. Nick Clegg is in full support of it now and is urging his party to back it. 57% of the party are opposed, 32% are for and 12% don't know. One thing is for fucking certain, the amount of things the Lib Dems have done a U-turn on, they have little to no chance of ever getting into power, not for a very very long time. Foolish cunts, all they had to do is refuse the coalition government... but no, he thought he could handle it, and it turns out he's a gigantic fuckwad minus backbone or moral fibre.

hiya, AC yep, still about A bit busy these days, but I got some points from my Mitt Romney video, so I thought I'd go on a promote spree

american style health care is overpriced, over-prescribed, and exactly as much choice as your health insurance says you need.

I want to grab these tory fucking scumbags by the scruff of the neck and scream into their faces "SHAME ON YOU, REPRESENT THE PEOPLE!"
What fucking happened to my britain? What happened to the highest privilege to be born british? Keep calm and carry on spirit?
How can the CUNT tory scumbags expect the least privileged in this country to care for each other and take part in fucking "big community" when our fucking government is LITERALLY selling our nation from under us to line their cronies pockets? How can they act dishonestly and expect honesty from the rest of the country?
They're rushing all these fucking policies in as quickly as they can because they know they're not gonna get in next time, so there's nothing to lose. At least the other fucking parties pretend to be doing it in our best interest.


Oh hear hear, love. Just sit back and watch it crumble. Because even protests and petitions won't make a dent anymore. Fucks sake, even The House of Lords hold no sway. There is LITERALLY nothing we can do and fuck all to cling onto. I feel like the voice of doom, but I know I'm not exaggerating. Still, if anything is going to change, we have to hit rock bottom... and I think we're getting there.

Why is amazeballs not in the tags?


I hate that word with a passion, probably

Gotta hand it to Charlie Brooker to chop straight to the blackened heart of the issue with his rusty bonesaw of sarcasm. Pterodactyl, negligée, amazeballs.

I don't know. Leaping onto the anti-Invisible Children bandwagon seems as hasty as hopping onto the Kony 2012 one.
I didn't see anything in that clip that confirms what they're doing is wrong. It's just not how I would go about it. A slick campaign was developed by happy-clappy marketing christians? Plenty of aid organisations have religious roots. It'll be a good thing if it improves things on the ground, and that can happen a number of ways.


Like I said if it gets smarter people out there to raise awareness it's a good thing. I'd rather though it be done right and propagated the FIRST fucking time...you lose a lot of people to outrage of lies when this stuff gets hyped and then disproven in a week.

I equate it to my experience with Michael Moore. I wasn't very political when I was younger...read some Michael Moore and got more political. It turned out he was kind of simplistic and misrepresentative some of the time, I could of just got angry and dropped it. Instead Moore turned me on to Noam Chomsky...and I've read dozens of his books now and because of that have become more informed and passionate about current events.
