UKIP The Movie

xbenjiiman · 30 Oct 2014 at 13:02

So Channel 4 are creating a "Mockumentary" of the first 100 days of UKIP if they were to ever come into power.

Discuss.

[sarcasm]I think it'll be as unbiased as the BBC Panorama episode [/sarcasm]

Someone beat them to it anyway

Considering they now have 18% share of the vote, twice as many as the libdems, have a MP in the commons and will have another by the end of the month, you are certainly not going to be getting your wish

Surely a movie will only help them?

This is why i say we have a mediaocracy. Just wait till closer the election, negative ukip press will be all over the place. While the likes of the bbc sing to praise milliwand and his fanatical followers.

doesn’t it show the true fear and loathing of both the media and the political establishment that they have to stoop to junior school levels of name calling and finger pointing?
its so obvious to the real voters ( not some trendy youth demographic) they are running scared they are willing to do anything . The problem is, if UKIP ever get in power if they really are as despotic as the media outlets claim then surely its a bad move to be the one that was throwing muck..

maybe they will send them all to a Gulag ?

The mud slinging approach has spectacularly backfired so far.

robgmun · 30 Oct 2014 at 14:29

I'm hoping they will teach the BBC a lesson and scrap the licence fee completely. It's completely irrelevant in today's world. It's polictical bias is plain to everyone but the blindest to see and damages democracy.

Want proof? Watch Question Time, in the last 2 years it's become George Orwell's 1984 2-minutes of hate against UKIP

Oh, and there's this little disgraceful gem:

How people like this have free rain on the TV without any ability for a comeback is astonishing.

The Greens would love the kind of coverage that UKIP gets on Question Time.

Shadez · 30 Oct 2014 at 14:43

There is already a film about the future of the UK if UKIP get into power its called V for Vendetta

They would, but they don't for loads of reasons

* A lot more people are now voting UKIP than the Greens
* Greens are compatible with the BBC's fluffy liberal ideals
* Greens more extreme members can easily be dismissed as harmless idealistic nonsense
* The appeal are no where near UKIP and even compared to UKIP have limited policies
* Not taking votes away from the 3 main parties

I think Nige should be played by Arnie.

The movie should be something along the lines of Predator and Commando combined.

"In a concrete jungle populated by dangerous beasts one man must make a stand and defend the world"

"If the EU bleeds, we can kill it!!"

"Go immigrant, ruuuuun, get to da choppa!!! (before I kiiiiiill you!)"

"All that matters to me now is Jenny (Jones)"

"Let off some steam Juncker!"

"I eat Green party candidates for breakfast, and right now I am very hungry!"

Angela: "Leave anything for us?"
Nige: "Just bodies"

"Knock Knock number 10"

"What happened to you Mike? You used to be someone I could trust?"

10/10 would watch.

hang on - UK comedy has ripped into the other parties for years

labour / cons / lib dems have had plenty of stick from comedians

why should Ukip or anyone else for that matter be immune to this?

subbytna · 30 Oct 2014 at 15:26

Yup they shouldn't be immune from comedy...I find it amusing though that the anti-ukip personified paper, the Guardian, has published it

Because it makes one sick and ashamed to be British?
