Looking forward to the 'First 100 Days of Miliband' version

With UKIP splitting the right-wing vote, they won't need to write a script for this one. :cool:

That is a scary thought.

Tried watching it last night. It's the biggest load of guff I've watched in a long time. Couldn't even make it half way through.

our international aid budget is 0.7% of gdp.

not far from half our of military spending which we keep cutting back on year after year

0.7% of GDP would be about £100 billion. That's more than our defence and education budgets combined

I really should watch this and see how funny it is.

It wasn't really funny. I'd say it was a projection of what might happen if UKIP managed to get voted in.

They didn't overplay it just gritty enough to be plausible with undertones of satire towards UKIP and its voters.

It wasn't funny. It was boring. The only one true thing it had in it was the nature of British people concerning Immigration. They are all for it UNTIL you put a face to that immigrant then they will go on demonstrations to allow him/her to stay.
The rest was a tedious mixture of wide conjecture and at times some blatant anti-UKIP propaganda.
PS I am NOT in favour of UKIP.

so care to explain our military spending % of GDP?
2.4% in 2010
2.3% in 2011
2.2% in 2013
2.2% in 2013

Unexpected to be 2% for much longer which America has criticised

oddly it's not over 100 billion and that's far more than 0.7% which IS what we spend on foreign aid

A bill to enshrine in law a commitment to spend 0.7% of national income on overseas aid has survived an attempt by some Conservative MPs to kill it off.

This is the most accurate depiction of any political party ever. Everyone should know voting UKIP = voting Hitler. Voting Labour = freedom.

it's what most the dumb people of this country will believe they will take this documentary as fact.

people believe TOWIE is REAL! ffs

Even the prime minister has used tv series such as homeland in arguments about the need to be spying on everyone because in that series it's how they get loads of info and foil plots.

people are less intelligent and clued up than you would believe, like naive sheep

Foreign Aid is great as long as the countries we give it understand that they have to use that money to buy arms from us.

If the money ended up in the hands of the needy then I'm all for it. I have yet to see a positive story attached to this expenditure(how often is news positive though).

I'm failing to find how its been divided up googling

Slightly off topic where's robgmun he must be having aneurysm if he watched this programme or is that the reason he's actually expired due to Channel 4 ?

Much like 90% of funds raised by Live Aid, all our foreign aid has ended up in various Swiss Bank accounts belonging to various evil gits.

700 complaints to Ofcom.

I watched some of it. Would have been better as clear satire. The supposed right wing protestors waving the Flag of Israel in isolation was a highlight. Lol Channel4 :rolleyes:

Only 700? I hear Chris Morris doesn't get out of bed for less than 1500.

Honestly, the only strongly inaccurate part of the programme was when the fictional UKIP MP described UKIP as having a Libertarian position on gay marriage when, in fact, they were the only one of the five largest parties to repeatedly and vocally oppose gay marriage.

He was suspended last time I checked. His ire must be at 11 by now!
