No matter what your politics, I think we can agree that this kind of party political broadcast, especially the bit towards the end, looks incredibly dated.
Is that the same Andrew who flew in from New York to vote for a cut in tax credits for the poor? While he only voted only 30 times in 14 years before that?
Of course, as with so much repartee and alliterative trickery portrayed in this rather quaint retro music hall Tory old-fashioned Party Political turn - Deceit, Lies and Cons are amusingly displayed as no other Party like the Cons can convey. Encore! Encore! Please - More Lies and Deceit Mr. Cameron! How We All Laugh At Your Vaudeville Politics!
That is rubbish I was better off With labour & had a part time under 16 hours working job but since the tories I have been unemployed & the poor of have to pay council tax because council tax benefits were scrapped
One day we will look back on the neo-liberals as the sick sociopaths that they are, and make sure that *'never again'* can an evil witch like Thatcher reverse decades of hard won social progress.
It's actually extremely clever whether you agree with it or not. The clips at the end of Thatcher to reinvoke and remind people of her successes, and subsequently, how they felt are a really clever trick to invoke a feeling of nostalgia.
I'm a labour supporter but I have to disagree. The tide was moving against labour all through this period. The winter of discontent had been the end of a very long post war period in which the kind of politics that labour (and Tory governments up until that point) had been advocating was seen to collapse. Labour still had very negative associations with the union militants and the "loony left" that would take another decade to be dispersed. As James Callaghan privately said in 1979 "every thirty years or so there is a sea change in politics. What the public wants and approves of changes and there is nothing you can do to change it." We need also to remember that the SDP attracted a lot of Tory voters, disliking thatcherism but disliking labour too - if they had been United with labour then many simply wouldn't have voted for them, or gone back to the Tories.
I wish parties here in the states would do something like this.
Did anyone else see the UKIP logo at 3:00? 😮
oh look its Rishi Sunaks economic policy !
Looking at this in 2023, no wonder the Tories are doing badly

This could apply today. Oh, and Miliband also doesn't know what he wants when the Conservatives say that it's shit. #sameoldlabour
Is that song at the end the one that Spitting Image joked about being the worst it could get?

AdmiralBlake Don't make me laugh. You were never going to win in 1987.
why not? if the SDP hadn't split off, and someone like Healey or Hattersley had been elected leader then labour would have won a majority
AdmiralBlake For the same reason the Tories would never win in 2001. You can't recover from a landslide that quickly.
1979 wasn't a landslide
1983 was though.
yep
This honestly seems like a piece of Nazi propaganda. The emphasis on fear, the creepy music, and most of all, the outright lies.
Labour were crap on spending but kept unemployment down
So did the conservatives. Unemployment was about 2% for most of the 1945-1979 period.

You must admit that the Thatcher era was the best for UK and Maggie was the greatest Prime Minister that Uk has ever had ..... RIP Maggie Bless you.
@@Robby334 Earl Grey is Britain’s best PM
Shit back then and even more shit nowadays, thankfully they are on a steady decline
We are still going strong..... whoops.
horrible add ! the nasty party !

a united labour party would have won this election
