Yeah, remember it now.

A highly effective poster which is why we're discussing it now. Bit like the one showing Blair with demonic eyes.
It's a shame that we still don't have control of our borders and no party seems capable of restoring it. Then people bleat about how ISIS zealots get in and out so easily.
If only they focused resources on terrorism like they have done on football fans ! A few warning letters to jihadis advising them not to travel to Syria, and a a few civil prosecutions by the police to nail people who haven't actually done anything, but who look like they might one day.
It's odd that migrants pass through all these countries to find sanctuary here, we are indeed fortunate that our small and overcrowded island is free from the famine and civil war that makes settling in Continental Europe unthinkable.
Do you think that poster demonises illegal immigrants/ economic migrants/ asylum seekers or refugees?
It depends on your view of the people who fetch up here I suppose.
Given events in MCR/London recently, it's understandable people feel the need to question how many people come into Britain and who they are, surely?

Both main parties are probably using the same agency in their race to the bottom, I'm sure when the knives come out, the other side rolls out another dirty dig in the ribs. No quibbling about that.
As I said elsewhere on this thread, I try and switch off when I feel unfiltered propaganda is coming my way.
Corbyn makes me feel very uneasy when I clap eyes on him. He seems to be the type of shady character you might expect to find lurking in John Sheridan's down Anlaby Rd back in the late 70s. Empathises with the masses but is utterly remote from them in outlook, values, interests and temperament. Possibly wears desert wellies and socks and is fan of Thurstan Binns, and frequents Humberside Theatre down Spring St.
Other politicians who gave me the creeps include: Redwood of the Tories, Anne Widdicombe and Cyril Smith.
Expect scathing propaganda from head office, but not hate-filled stickers down Hull's entertainment strip posted by local Avenues bedsit zealots.
It's just not on, Leon.

I vaguely remember Thursday Binns at Hull College circa 76/77. Always reminded me of a man I worked with in the Civil Service 1980. This man was an avowed Trotskyist who cycled in from natty South East London to do his bit for the environment. Had a goatee beard. Was Thurstan a sociology lecturer? And I used to buy records in Sheridans in the the pre Mental Block era. Great post.

I know this might spoil the ****-bank for a few on here, but for the rest, what more incentive to vote Labour do you want?

If I believed she'd actually **** off, I might have been swayed.

In an ideal world, Katie Hopkins, Dianne Abbott and Piers Morgan would all spontaneously combust.

If only some brainy chap like Hawkers could find a dirt cheap method of providing dialysis for the millions of slobs who have slowly flubbled into lardiness and cost the rest of us millions.
The NHS was set up in immediate aftermath of WW2 to support the weary and broke indigenous population who were on food rationing till well into the 1950s. It was designed to give them accessible and free healthcare.

It was certainly not designed to cater for the health tourists, the gluttons, the self-made diabetics, alkies and druggies who put such strain on it, and divert care away from the needy and the unfortunate.
Perhaps he could also come up with a way of reining in the wages of consultants, specialists and high earning doctors who take such a lot out of the NHS (source: my mate who has worked in the NHS for 40 years in the regional finance sector, overseeing capex/budgets etc)

Britain's Benefit Blackspots is on at the moment, they should rename it Lifestyles Of The Terminally Stupid.

There's one bloke who went into a long rant about how he couldn't make ends meet, then gets his benefits and goes straight off to buy a game for his XBox.

Only he bought the XBox from a mate down the street and it doesn't work, so he's decided the first thing he'll do with next months benefits, is get the XBox fixed.

Unfortunately, he missed his appointment at the Job Centre and they stopped his benefits. <laugh>

Aye. As effective as some of Third Reich's finest.

And before any bellend starts screaming Godwin's Law, it's justified as it's the most 'effective' comparison.

That's a big call Leon, and a bit below the belt if I may so.
Is it the medium or the message you dislike?
