Lib Dems launch ‘Feel sorry for us’ Wallander election campaign
Monday, February 22nd, 2010
Well, not really.
Here’s the guff I put in the extended notes on YouTube:
“The Lib Dems are eerily silent. Things are looking as bleak as the Wallander scenery. The Tories and Labour are pumping out the advertising and seem to be getting all the coverage (but maybe for all the wrong reasons).
Never mind, here’s a little video for Nick Clegg’s followers which they can use to promote themselves in an understated and ‘feel sorry for me’ kind of way.
Inspired by the Wallander credits. The lyrics ‘my knuckles bleed down the tattered street, on a door that shouldn’t be in front of me.” seem to fit the despair of door-to-door canvassing for the election**.
**May be absolute bullshit.
An acquired taste methinks but I quite like it.
Conservatives up the police state hysteria with quotes from Pravda
Monday, December 8th, 2008
Yes, I know there are different ‘Pravdas’ but the context in which the articles are used clearly show that there are few limits to The Conservatives’ use of the mantra :
‘My enemy’s enemy is my friend.’
Damien Green Gate – Tories produce tape
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008
Update 2: The Tories have now (really) produced a videotape of the police search of Damian Green’s Parliamentary office. As far as I can see it does nothing but keep the kettle lukewarm.
What with the ‘Zanu Labour’ and ‘Stalinesque’ attacks and now this non-exposé, the Tories are unintentionally making themselves look desperate and panicked when, I suppose, they intend their campaign to have this effect on the government.
Now it’s starting to look if they really have something they want to bury and are keen for any investigation to be curtailed.
Update:
Here’s a cropped version of yesterday’s image for Channel 4 News.
You can see the full version here. When you get there, click on the image for super size.
(btw – despite what it says on C4 News, it’s an image not an animation)
Morten Morland has created an image along similar lines but much classier here.
Tories consider change of name to show support for arrested shadow immigration minister

Hopefully a new image on the same topic a bit later on C4 News.
Lib Dem Conference Bournemouth
Sunday, September 14th, 2008
I’ve been a bit under the weather for the past few days (not self-inflicted) so apologies for no new images.
I’ve just realised amongst all the other news – The Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, the Tory conference lapdance scandal etc. etc. that the Lib Dems are currently holding a conference so I’ve put an old flash file onto video and uploaded to YouTube.
With the plethora of video packages around and their constant relaunching of new versions, it seems possible to make basic videos using trial software and spending nothing these days but I reckon I will take the plunge and buy the new Ulead offering…..eventually.
Converting an old flash file does limit what can be done (unable to animate certain elements until they come to rest) but I hope you’ll put up with the animation’s and my inadequacies.
Oh, and well done to Glasvegas on reaching No. 2 in this week’s album charts with their first album and a fine one it is too.
A few of us at the local pub are grateful to Glasvegas songwriter and lead singer James Allan whose presence at the Crown and Goose a few weeks ago ensured the pub didn’t close as early as the management initially planned.
We’re planning on digging up the corpse of Hattie Jacques next week, standing her in the corner of the pub and telling the management that Beth Ditto’s popped in for a late night drink. That should keep it open for a while.
