Thread: Banned Government Propaganda

Dear Clippo

I’m returning this to your department because it has not been peer reviewed!




Miliband's global warming nursery rhyme ads are banned for overstating the risks | Mail Online

Is that poster advising us that we should all buy a bathtub and share it with 2 other men? Now I sometimes have a bath with my 3 kids, and I can tell you that there isn't much room. I think that it might be a little hard to find a bath big enough to get 3 men in.

I put on the TV the other morning and was a bit surprised that my children were being targeted for AGW via cartoons. The cartoon in question was something called Horrid Henry, and basically they had set up a wind turbine so that they could save the planet from CO2 and all the evils that come with that. While I do believe that kids should be taught both sides of the argument in a class room, I think that perhaps they are going to come out brainwashed as the teachers seem to be accepting of the party line.

There is a lot of targeting of children who can then apply emotional blackmail to their parents and also acquiesce to the government's tax regime when reaching the appropriate age. Product placement is banned in kids programmes, and so should this sort of brainwashing.

Mr Miliband said his department had been ‘comprehensibly vindicated’ by the ASA but promised to more accurately reflect scientific uncertainty about global warming in future campaigns.

LOL - Mike, I guess so. But I like the other bit to "more accurately reflect scientific uncertainty".

Yes, its official .. The science about global warming is uncertain.

Or is that "unsettled"?

Did you send a complaint to the regulators? It would probably not take much longer than the above post to write out and send it on the web, and then we could all have a look at the reply. I did that the other day when the BBC was very rude to Nigel Farage on the radio. I'm not sure if it did any good, but I like the idea forums like this interact with the system. If they send a nonsense reply then all the world can see it.

Goebbels would be so proud of Nu Labour, what a waste of money.
