Labour has released a video on Youtube which bears a remarkable similarity to the political rants disguised, almost, as comedy on the Now Show……only funnier.
This weeks ‘Now Show’ doesn’t disappoint our low expectations with what is nothing less than an anti-government diatribe (9 mins) with not much sign of comedy…but then it is Marcus Brigstock making a welcome return…don’t know where he’s been but obviously not off honing his comic skills….though reading an ‘Occupy’ pamphlet out on the Now Show might be considered one of the better comedy highlights of his career I’d reckon…..and it goes on so long as well….great value from the BBC.
And all credit to the sound engineers who can make it all so audible…must be difficult to get a clear soundtrack when you have so many clever Chatterati with their heads up their jacksies talking rubbish out of those Jacksies whilst loudly applauding their own brilliance.
Any bets that a ‘comedian’ from the Now Show helped script the Labour Party video?
now,if i was a labour voter, which i am not( vote ukip) i would be thinking what the hell was that all about because to me it was like a scene out of ripping yarns and had not much to do with politics,this ppb must of been the biggest waste of money ever and i think the labour partys attempt at class war with this farce will just turn out to be a big vote loser that will backfire straight in the labour partys spin doctors face.it was just pathetic.
It’s backfiring already.

From the Evening Standard:
‘It is a light hearted way of making a serious point’, said a Labour source. ‘We are trying to hold Liberal Democrats responsible for their decisions, and to get the message across to people who are not normally interested in politics’.
Oh, so that’s what my Licence Fee has been paying the BBC to do?
I was not normally interested in politics until UKIP came around.
Now I’ve become, not normally interested in BBC comedy.
I prefer the ConDems broadcast about Ed Miliband.
At least it’s better than the Green Party broadcast which uses children to guilt trip voters into voting green. Child abuse much?
Why attack Clegg though? The man appears to have lost his marbles and is on a different planet most of the time. His poll ratings show he’s not a credible threat to anyone. The only reason would be to totally humiliate his party come the next election, for having the temerity to first agree to coalition with the Tories and to then refuse another coalition should the case arise.
The other striking thing especially at the end is the time period when this is set, harking back to the days before Labour utterly ruined the country.
A very strange piece indeed.
Based on the most recent polls ,they might be positioning themselves for a coalition with the Greens
‘Two-thirds of people affected by the bedroom tax are disabled’

It’s in their DNA
Was ‘The Now Show’ ever funny? Don’t worry, when it ends The News Quiz returns and we can all chuckle along with Jeremy Hardy…can’t wait
If I were UKIP I would use this as part of my campaign
Bloody true. Please watch.
