Absolutely disgusting. This sort of Political advertising should be as illegal as it is inaccurate.
Fake.
Its American. That's exactly how the ads are in America
@@Metonymy1979 yes it did remind me of the American political ads. That is one trend we don't want to inject into UK politics.
I thought it was satire. Couldn't believe this is a real advert.
It is beyond disgusting. The makers of this hideous 'post truth' piece of dangerous propaganda need to be brought to account!!
If that’s not 1930s Germany style propaganda I don’t know what is
there's a bit of 1950s cold war propaganda as well
If you want to see 1930s Germany, just wait until Starmer gets into power. I mean, if you thought the Sturmabteilung were bad, just wait until you see the _Starmabteilung_ at work.
The BBC will latch onto it, also ITV, CH4/5, SKY, GBNEWS, etc.
more like '50s american
Ok the experts disagree but we are all saying it is propaganda
The CONservatives are truly mad... totally freakin' bonkers.
Yes they’ve gone off the rails since Boris ! 🤷🏻♀️
@@Yazzie101 Since Johnson? I remind you of Thatcher.
Stop falling for the false two-party duopoly. Neither side will ever put the best interests of the people above the best interests of their donors.
They want fear us into voting for them
It's not a two horse race
It's only natural that the Tories would come up with a "Twilight Zone" style political ad. It's where Conservtives spend their entire lives.
Vampires!
ooof truth
Don't worry they will soon be banished to the Outer Limits probably never to return.
😂
(Rod Serling voice)
"Imagine if you will a ruling party so long in power, so bereft of ideas and bankrupt of morals that it had to resort to cheap scaremongering against the opposition..."
Just when I think the Tories have finally lost the plot....... they go even more bonkers. Surely no-one can take seriously anything they say or do any more!?
Hard to square that with the majority of the left don't know what a woman is.
Sadly, great swathes of the country still will.
It's amazing how quicly they forget they've been in power for the past 15 fucking years.
Yep!
When people are plunged into poverty, crime increases. Now, where did this poverty come from?
That is not objectively true. People were more materially deprived in the past and did not have the same rates of crime. Most of our problems with criminality arise from wealth inequality (which is different from poverty), single motherhood and the collapse of social norms & community. It isnt simply a question of people not having money.
@@LS-xs7sg Crime has been steadily decreasing across the developed world for the last 30 years or so. London is no exception. Crimes such as armed robbery have virtually disappeared, mugging is much rarer than the 70's an 80's.. After pub closing punch ups were more common in my old home town than here in Camberwell where I live. .What has increased is youth knife crime. This is tragic, but unless you are a youth living in certain estates, you won't even know its happening.
@@LS-xs7sgexcept young people aren’t having kids. Go check birth rates.
@@zivkovicable I am not talking about overall rates of crime. The percentage of young people is a lot lower now than it was 30 years ago. Media use also keeps teenagers indoors rather than up to mischieve. What I am saying is that the dysfunction we do have is not really a result of material deprivation per se but rather cultural and social deprivation.
@@LS-xs7sg If you are not talking about overall rates of crime, then what did you mean when you said that people in the past "did not have the same rates of crime"?
And remember that Susan Hall, the Tory candidate for Mayor complained about crime on the underground and that she'd had her wallet stolen, when the truth was that she'd lost it and someone handed it in, with everything intact.
The Labour mayor seized power? I didn't realise, I thought it was an election.
No apparently he “seized power” unlike our PM!😉
Whenever right wingers lose elections, it's always because the left cheated.
Im no fan of the Labour but this video is actually describing the Tories. 😂😂
Tories and labour and two cheeks of the same a s s. Starmer and Sunak are two sides of the same shekel.
The saying ‘every accusations is a confession’ applies to a lot of groups apparently lol
Plus half that crime graph is when Boris Johnson was mayor (covering a steeper increase too just by eyeballing it)
Don't let's forget that ULEZ was Mayor Boris Johnson's baby and that when he became PM he threatened to withhold funds from the Greater London Authority unless Saddiq Khan agreed to enlarge the scheme to cover the whole of the capital.
You can't rely on facts these days.
It was Ken Livingstone's idea but Bojo ran with it. People don't care about ULEZ per se: it's just a front for racism.
I know because I've tested this. I challenged the entire Kent online Facebook page as follows:
What if Farage imposed a harsher ULEZ, I bet you'd roll over and let him tickle your tummies.
Guess what? Nobody commented. Nobody challenged me.
@@scarfholdgraphicsmedia9501 They probably looked at what you had written and thought "Oh look, another idiot. Best not engage. He might dribble on me."
@@Klaus_Nobb of course not everyone who’s against ulez is racist, but if you look at the sheer hatred some people have for Khan supposedly over Ulez there’s no doubt it’s a front for racism. It’s amazing the energy people have for ulez and not idk this country crumbling in the hands of the tories.
@@Klaus_Nobb So you are just an anti-cleaner-air and the more CO2 the better type of guy?
They are utterly demented.
Let's consign the Tories to the history books. The greed and corruption party!
Corruptives
A depressing number of people live to vote for people that preach the worship of flags and the promise of a world without freedom and thought. It's a relief to bow to a crown and know their place.
Like Labour?
Stop falling for the false two-party duopoly. Neither side will ever put the best interests of the people above the best interests of their donors.
@@JohnnyComelately-eb5zv HAhahahahaha "both sides" 🤣
The streets are quiet cos people can't afford to buy anything!
London was a lot more dangerous when Thatcher shut down the GLC and Westminster ran it, back in the 80s
The violence and murder rates have grown massively since that time.
If London is quieter at night it's because the Tories ruined our nightlife.
Exactly
I wouldn't walk around London after 10pm.
@@tommycoopersmagiccarpetwea817 why not? I've lived in different parts of London for 19 years, sometimes go out till morning, it's always been fine.
@pest_4109 maybe I was misled, I'd heard of all sorts of drug dealings and random violence to avoid at times.
Repetitive beats...
This is a joke, right? This is a 1940s reefer madness film.
When I first saw this I thought it was some American making a spoof film in the 30s .
I had the same emotion. Anyone could have produced this low budget, ill-conceived, pack of lies and it is is possible the intent was sarcasm but the message is still placed "out there" and is worming its way into many people's minds
@@lizdocherty3067 Absolutely! It's just so way out there.
Orwell would be proud of this.
Absolutely unhinged ad
The only thing missing is Batman narrating it and ending it with Batman overlooking London from it's tallest building 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Maybe a searchlight over Big Ben, with an outline of Sue Hall in it?
“Implemented attacks on drivers to force people to stay inside or go underground.”
Ad thinks that because cars aren’t prioritised and because LTNs have been installed, people literally can’t go anywhere, just casually forgetting the Tube, buses, bikes and oh, WALKING exist as options for people to get around the city.
This is hysterically alarmist.
“Seized power” as if it wasn’t a democratic mayoral election.
Absolutely insane.
*implemented a TAX on drivers. But otherwise, yeah.
Australian here. Why is this utterly ridiculous add, have an American voice over? Does this "work" on any one of the voting public at all?
At least they're acknowledging the UK government is now totally instructed by that privileged, white, US accent.
W⚓️s
They just described the outcome of 13 years of Tory rule
Stop falling for the false two-party duopoly. Neither side will ever put the best interests of the people above the best interests of their donors.
@@ronstephen-wy4ib so, falling for the “tories aren’t w⚓️s cos Labour” fallacy are we?
Or is it the old “can’t call out tories cos Labour” trope?
Or “we should put up with tories’ murderous spite and malice cos Labour”?
@bestbehave
Actually, it sounds like the very reasonable "vote third party because the two establishment parties are both unacceptable" argument.
@@bluehero-96 Then they should say that
What came out was a defence of Tories cos labour, and ignore any alternative.
@bestbehave
That's not at all what came out. You're just doing what you're accusing them of, but for Labour.
What’s with the American accent?
Because it was cool in the 1950s and the Tories still think Winston Churchill is still around in his dementia phase.
No mystery here, it's the tribe at work again.
I think they were going for a specific era of dystopian science fiction, but it did make me think about how they're just copying US Republican fear mongering about Democrat-run cities.
It's a part of a project of the Americanisation of this country
twilight zone parody
This is actually MAD... the tories just keep sinking further and further past rock bottom
Seriously, I was expecting that Narrator to go: "....and this is the Moment where Batman arises."
The Tories keep doing this. Doing/saying something and then retracting it with a sorry. The message they wanted to get out there has been put out there.
They don't actually apologise or sorry.
Irony is: the Tories hate when people talk down Britain but don't have a problem talking down London, our capital.
Another irony is they often (wrongly) accuse everyone and everything else of being “undemocratic” while simultaneously doing a number of things which actually are undemocratic.
appealing to the ignoramus with WWII era aesthetics and imageries of imminent danger, Absolutely disgraceful!
It seems more like an American political ad. Have the tories got that Steve Bannon working for them now ?
Please take him!
Yes you’re right! Very Bannernish!🙄
@@user-xd7dk3oy3q The Willie Horton ad, put out by George Bush senior when he was running for pres. against Dukakis. But, yes this a very tipical MAGA party ad.
It's like a Monty Python sketch.
So pathetic. I've never liked or voted for the Tories. They're gross. This ad is why.
Both are now awful
Yes. Total lies, and defamation of this great city.
I hate how they equate reducing car travel to more danger when in fact cars kill more than crime ever will!
The irony that they have an american doing the voiceover on a video how everything isn't british enough
It's so weird, it's like they focus grouped an ad that would appeal to absolutely nobody. Except the American right wing I guess?
Typically dumb that you don't get the reference.
@@drwhatson what's the reference?
They have no idea that we are not all stupid.
Sadly 90% are sheople.
To be fair, we keep electing Tory governments so a lot of us are
@Andy-di1zd there's no gang criminality in London?
To be fair, maybe we are no longer this stupid.
Are they serious? omg this is hilarious
I thought the Tories run the country 😮
You spelt ruin wrong.
Tories couldn't run a bath
@@pershaankhan1662 They can, Have the cold tap run too long, forget the bubble bath...
Oh, you hadn't spelt Ruin wrongly, sorry.
Note the american accent in the ad. This stinks of steve bannon tactics. Typical 'terror' propoganda
Tories are off their rocker
Does everyone remember THATCHER in 1982, telling us all....."there is NO POVERTY in Britain.."........since then, POVERTY has QUADRUPLED since then....what a surprise!! ...she even claimed that POVERTY does not create CRIME!!!!!!
It doesn’t make sense - London is the most affluent, dynamic, modern, energetic, safe, tax generating city in the Uk and the second most visited city in Europe. Without the wealth and tax generated by London, the UK would have the GDP of a small African nation.
Ok let's not go too far 😂
Pretty sure we'd have the GDP of a small European nation like Estonia or Latvia or smth at least.
Have lived in London for 50 years & find this film utterly absurd🤥🤣
We live under a Labour MP and a Labour council ... It's great! The North West of England is a fantastic place. Love Liverpool Love Manchester... This disinformation is dystopian...
If you played this to me and told me it was a joke or a piece of Satire, I would have believed it 100%
OMFG 🤣 it's so absurd that they couldn't even get a Brit to narrate their spinformercial so they had to outsource to America. I can't believe that isn't satire.
I am pretty sure there are many over 70-year-old peeps living in isolated cottages in the midlands that have seen this ridiculous advertisement and said, "The Conservative party needs my vote to save London."
I grew up in Birmingham and now live in the Midlands countryside in Warwickshire and trust me, the people you are referring to are absolutely unhinged.
Am I overthinking it if I suggest there is a cunning plan here, and this isn't an ad intended to help in the London mayor election - instead it's a way to use the London campaign budget to help the national campaign?
@@markwelch3564 I would not be surprised.
@@allovdem I want to clarify that my previous comment was meant to be sarcastic. Though I'm sure there are reasonable people in the Midlands, it's concerning that in 2016, many believed that leaving the EU would result in the NHS receiving £350 million per week, equivalent to £1.4 billion per month, or over £16 billion per year. Even today, some people still hold on to that belief.
@@JayCue87 YOU MEAN............................ Boris lied ?????????????????????????
I literally laughed out loud with the: “Deserted streets, everyone stays inside” part…
Hmmm, not the experience I have trying to get home from work, or any other time for that matter…
Complete idiots!💯
😂😂😂
I wrote an essay on how austerity directly correlates with knife crime. In summary, my findings say that it increases.
Such desperation!
Said the actress to the bishop.
I liked "decriminalise illegal drugs", as if you could decriminalise something legal.
😂😂😂
This is literally unhinged.
This is like a 30s dystopian film. It is so rediculous.
Is this a joke?
How is this even legal
Do they think the electorate is so gullable they will swallow this nonsense. It speaks more about how hopeless tge government of our coubtry actually is.
I bet the streets are roamed by zombies
Only when the Tories are attending Parliament 😂
Historically you could argue that London never was a particularly safe place, arguing that London was safe before labour party rule is so pathetic
The Boris Johnson years are literally on their scary crime graph of number go up - looks like a faster increase then too!
It appeals to the “in my day you could leave your front door open…” mindset, which has clearly always been complete nonsense.
It's classic Bannon/Fox News crap. It also kind of reminds me of the parodies of The Day Today, cheesily produced scare crap. The whole Bannon playbook was about simply constantly running scare stories about "No Go Zones" and the like. This is basically the same crap that Anderson is spouting. It all feels manufactured, because it is.
First take: why is the narrator American??
I assume because that's who's funding these ads.
@@Shadowman4710 that's my assumption, too.
It sounds like Steve Bannon!
Americans would know the difference between an American accent and a British one and London form NY.@@Shadowman4710
@@simonwyndham If it was Bannon, he'd be putting on a fake British accent...drunkenly.
Hahaha, literally in tears🤣Thank you, i needed that today, cheered me right up
Genuinely the funniest thing I've seen in a while. Reminds me of something I'd see on a sketch show. If only they weren't being serious.
"the london mayor wants to decriminalise illegal drugs".... 1) its just cannabis he wants to decriminalise, and 2) the process of decriminalising something is first recognising it should not be illegal in the first place, ergo, not an illegal drug, furthermore it's only an "illegal drug" because its currently criminalised, if it wasn't it wouldn't be! what a shock!
also let us not forget how there were traces of cocaine found in the bathrooms of the house of commons, so "legalising illegal drugs" is something the tories probably *want* to do for themselves and only themselves.
There's a difference between "unlawful" and "criminal". I am not a lawyer, so I am not the best person to explain exactly what that difference is, but I have on more than one occasion heard people with legal qualifications say that there is a difference... and then I fail to take in whatever it is that they say after that.
Get them Out ASAP !! Vote Labour !!
Um....
Which major party reduced the police force? Do they think we have no memory whatsoever?
Bro, the streets if London are not quiet! This is like a parody
It's like spoof of a 1940s Hollywood movie trailer, American accent and all
As a Londoner I dunno if to cry or laugh
its from Trump's playbook
I saw this earlier on Turn Left (great channel btw, go give the dude a sub/like if you can!) and honestly I was creased over with laughter; it's like an Alfred Hitchcock spoof flick. I genuinely still can't get over how utterly ludicrous this Tory ad is 😂
Cheers for the Turn Left recommendation.
@@norawright807 you're welcome! Curtis is a really sound guy, and at the moment his channel is still small-ish and trying to grow, so if it helps both of you I'm happy to recommend him! He likes to chat to people in his comments section too which is always a nice touch.
It looks to me as if someone has gone undercover into Tory HQ and trolled them brilliantly. Surely this absurd, risible ad cannot be serious?
As a Jew, this feels like Islamophobia in the style of our 1930s experience. Can we get this taken down on racism grounds? It’s really dangerous.
That advert has shades of Steve Bannon influence
If this is the case we should just abolish voting and put the army in charge.
Suella Braverman approves this message.
Americanisation of British politics right there
I actually did not think that advertisement was real. I laughed a lot.
Am I watching an episode of the Twilight Zone?
Quite possibly. Reference "The Monsters are due on Maple Street"....
Tories will always blame the other side, in this case its Sadiq Khan, the London Mayor! "At Election time, Tories always need a Bogeyman" - Aneurin Bevan.
I almost expected Jack the Ripper to jump out from the dark streets on display 😂
This attack ad just goes to prove the Conservatives total incompetence, they can't seem to get anything right.
As a life long Londoner how dare those bastard portray our city like this. Do any of them even live here.
London could be one of the best places in the world, you say? How's that? The British parliament resides there, and from there warmongering, hatred and genocide permeate the globe - in a post-imperial frenzy of desperation!
I didn't know Alfred Hitchcock was into producing campaign ads
I never saw any Conservative campaign that didn't use smears and lies.
I’d heard the Tories had done this bizarre ad but when this started I thought this had to be a spoof but as it went on I realised that this was the one they were talking about. There is so much to say about this absurd, scaremongering, inaccurate piece of garbage but my very first thought was “Why the American voiceover?”
It's like a Harry Enfield sketch,truly desperate, they are finished and know it
That looked so cheap. Did they have a whip around. They can't have spent more than £10 quid on it. If it wasn't so paranoid and nefarious, it would be funny.
Hey now, that stock clip of the deadline panic at the office ⏰🤷🏽♀📉 uh I mean "London on the brink of chaos" must be at least £11, assuming they didn't just steal it
They should be held to account
The Tories could have dealt with the crime problem if they wanted to. They’ve had 14 years and a super majority.
For those wondering about the American accent, this type of fearmongering political advertising is common here, especially by the Republican party. Looks like the Tories have hired American media consultants. When you have done nothing positive to showcase you try to convince the voter that the alternative would be even worse. BOO! Did I scare you? Good.
Yeah but it's bizarre to have a "foreign accent" for this, especially when you're pandering to the BRITANE crowd, ~especially~ when you're trying to scaremonger about how London "isn't British anymore". It's like having a Texas political attack ad with some posh Brit talking about how the target isn't a true American
This ad is so unhinged! I love it! I want to watch interviews with the director, the editor, the narrator! Genuinely so interested in the psyche of those that made it haha
Yes ...needs follow up
American style ads don't work in the UK 😄 I hope!
If this is an accurate representation of crime then that call belongs to the tories, they've caused it. Backlog in the courts, non prosecutions, decimation of the police service etc etc.
I lost my “normal people” view of London some 15 years ago - having worked and visited since 1988.
As I always met ordinary people, I sensed how things were changing for so many from austerity measures and “new government”.
That change has (is) occurred across the OECD, but NOT for reasons incumbent politicians point to. Being incumbent should mean that _they_ themselves are responsible, but that time is long gone.
Corporate power is simply outgrowing democracy. The nonproductive wealth of The City overshadows the economic agency of councils, boroughs, families and local communities of my beloved noisy London.
I haven’t visited since Brexit - and neither Tories’ scary video nor their appalling attitude to their own diverse people make me feel as welcome as I once did.
Maybe one of the upcoming Novara Media events can ease my fear, I miss my 2nd cultural home…!
I genuinely thought it was a spoof. It's hilarious!
This is next level batshit I'm actually impressed
Reminds me of Harry Enfield’s ‘L stands for Labour, L stands for lice’ parody, of political ads. With a bit of Chris Morris and Brass Eye thrown in.
On my, sounds just like the Twighlight Zone. And completely bonkers.
I thought i was watching the twilight zone for a second , i was expecting the music . Weird .
Looks like a trailer for a dystopian movie
Its like a Harry Enfield sketch... I was just waiting for the line 'L is for Labour.. L is for Lice!'
