[...] To make things even more like ” 1984″ housing estates are being built with their own Broadcasting channels and giant TV screens, to go with all those screens being installed in schools and doctors surgeries (along with yet more CCTV cameras), showing government information films. [...]

I have just watched a commercial funded by the Home Office and ran to the computer to find out how much the Government has allocated to spew out these wrist-slapping vignettes from dawn till dusk. It appears that the Government spent

Why don’t all Supermarkets have a paper and cardboard recycling bin so we can get rid of a load of rubbish before we take it home?

I realize that this could be difficult with bottles and cans. I’m not daft you know.

I know, miss mink, I know – I was spoilt for choice and had to leave some of the dratted things out. The tagline for that is ‘Don’t let alcohol decide’ (or something like that). I veer from nausea to purple-faced umbrage every time one of ghastly things comes on.

As for whether the Govt. is getting a prime-time advert ‘deal’, I doubt it – I think we are just being WARNED about things that are quietly becoming punishable offences…

Gloria, so glad someone else is being driven to distraction over these !
Do you think government is getting a ‘deal’, since the private sector aren’t spending much on ads at the moment ?
My personal favorite is the one, where 7 year olds pretend to be teenagers and tell us what terrible things happened to them when they had an alcoholic drink . . . .

If five-a-day is so good and cigarettes so bad why does the welfare state hand out money which can be exchanged for fags and fatty food?

It gets worse. Look at this entry I made yeaterday about the lifechannel and the Community Communication Network.

Thats right, government propaganda piped direct to your GP surgery, your local shopping centre, community centre and elsewhere. Plus, most sinister: your local school.

Why on God’s earth taxpayers should be funding what amounts to 24 hour party polictical broadcasts and socialist propaganda beats me. But its par for the course with Labour, who see nothing wrong in using taxpayer’s money to promote their political message.
