Iran’s military chief-of-staff, Major General Hassan Firouzabadi…
“The Iranian nation is standing for its cause and that is the full annihilation of Israel”.
The last Quango in Paris says:
Mr Bryant and Mr Watson managing to make the whole hacking affair look like a farce – the more they moan the less I care about the whole subject! So partisan it beggars belief at all costs. They cannot rise above it ! If I was to call the PM a ‘liar’ I would want to be VERY sure.
It’s English turnout that’s gonna be the problem. Why will English Tories bother to vote? All the lefty trots will be fraudulently postal voting so I reckon it’s gonna be very close.
Yes indeeds! I have already registerings 74,561 cousins for the posting votes. A nice man from the Labours partyings came to my door with bag full of much money for me and my 17 wives.
Twats. All of them.
Yes, the British electorate really are that thick.
Don’t forget to count all the second choices though – No means yes
You’re all right
You’re all right
Nice to see Billy the c ‘unt isn’t first for a change
Looks like they’ve done a good job of portraying AV as the electoral equivalent of bog-snorkelling. Could be a winner.
Looking at the third act in particular, how dumb do the No2AV people think we are. It’s far less confusing than that
I agree.
I’m absolutely flawed by this advert. I know the NO2AV campaign is deceitful enough to try and convince voters that the BNP benefit from AV, malicious enough to pretend that changing the electoral system will kill soldiers in Afghanistan and sick children in hospital, but I’m honestly shocked to see they’re quite so arrogant as to appeal to voters with an advert about the stupidity of voters.
It should be absolutely floored by this advert dear boy.
Flawed is what your post, and incidentaly AV, is.
AV: so simple it could have been invented by a moron.
Carry On
Missed a comma and a full stop there, old chum.
You know, I killed 12 million people and conquered half of Europe. You’re just whining out talking points you don’t understand on behalf of people who don’t give a fuck if you live or die. I don’t think we really compare, mein liebchen.
Does this mean Rik Mayall is against AV? A famous actor/celeb AGAINST AV? Won’t his lefty colleagues lynch him?
if its a paying gig actors ethics fly out of the window
He was also in one of the anti euro vids when they were about, so could be it isn’t just the fee he’s interested in.
Love to see a fight between Mayall and that tranny tosser Izzard.
(Izzard being a tosser, not someone who tosses trannies).
Disappointed.
yes. mayall is a well known tory. sensible boy.
I thought Sacha Baron Cohen had retired the Ali G character. But he appears to be back in this broadcast.
I like action films but I think the ad above for Fast & The Furious 5 won’t appeal to many of the old farts who post here.
The Rock is in it so shut your damn mouth

Just say NO2AV Pet
I’m still waiting for my Twix.
I’m now so hungry even my fifteenth choice, a pack of Tunes, will do.
I’m beginning to think it was a mistake to ask Pickle’s to go down the shop.
We went camping to the lakes as kids, absolutely stoned out of our fucking tits and lived off Topics and grapefruit juice for 3 days as that’s all the camp shop sold – pretty fucking ghastly combo. Mars bars would have been luxury!
I always liked a Mars Bar.
It will be a definite vote NO for me,don’t want to know Cleggiron and his bunch of sandal wearing,tree hugging,opportunistic muppets.
Given how confusing AV is he probably thinks this film is for it. Or against it. Or for it, but against it in the second round but he voted tactically and is therefore for it so long as those whos second favorite choice is being against it come lower than the third place candidates second choice votes.
AV is so simple it could have been invented my a moron…
This was supposed to be a reply to No 4. However my second choice was for it to start its own reply……
But No 4 got less than 50% of the replies, so we should take your second choice into account, unless your second choice was already eliminated in the first round.
My vote for AV will definitely be NO. When I cast a vote I want to be absolutely sure that it will not be for a winning party. With so many variables, how can I be sure that I will unexpectedly assist some undeserving tw*t into a position of power?
The best way to avoid having your 1st vote tagged onto the 3rd placed candidate’s total, and subsequently re-allocated to the Budgie with the 4th best plumage, is to stay at home and excercise your right to not vote.
Result every time.
Anybody who takes notice of any fooking ‘celebrity’ must have the brain of a sparrow. Why do these ‘celebs’ think they so fooking important that they know more about politics than anybody else – or that anybody but Sun reading chavs should take heed of them!
This is a slightly different case than your usually lefty tosspot ‘comedians’ (im looking at you Izzard and Fry..). After all its Rik Mayall acting as one of his characters rather than he himself directly voicing an opinion.
Perhaps he is just mercenary and just after the money, or perhaps he isn’t a total fucking arse and realises what a huge pile of steaming shite AV is.
Whichever, I thought it was a pretty good video.
Agreed. Superb vid from Mayall!!! Top acting!
Wayne Rooney for Prime Minister!
He may not no much about ekernomiks, but he’s doin allright, and he nos how to giv an intervew to the tv cameras.
fuckin’ right …. get in there
Rooney is the only scouser no longer selling coke

Maybe we’re confused, but this is the No to AV campaign, and somehow Alan B’stard said yes? Reverse psychology don’t work.
Alan B’stard would never support such shit.
Maybe the Tories have been smoking too much shit and not watching enough New Statesman DVD.
I am pretty sure that the creator and writer of the Alan B’stard character would have a much better idea of which system the corrupt, self serving bastard would prefer.
A shiny coin to anyone who can tell me where Bastard was a MP for
In this referendum, can I vote ‘No’, but put ‘Yes’ as my second choice?
No you can’t. If your first vote is ‘no’, you don’t want a second choice! But you can do it the other way round methinks, if you put ‘yes’ first, you are saying you do want a second choice,even if it’s ‘no’. Not called bird with small brain for nothing….
I vote for fizzy orange.
Vote for mercy killings and take the coward’s way out Brown…
My arse is like a blood orange, vote yes to AV!
Fight for your right to wear women’s clothing!
Yes 2 AV. It is a bit like wanting to buy a merc but ending up with a skoda. Well a skoda is not a car that anyone really wants. Though buying a skoda with a sun roof it can double up as a skip. Somewhere to dump yer rubbish and used tea bags. Ed Miliband is full of rubbish.
Mrs D, Skodas these days are really Volkswagens in disguise so they are really quite good. Perhaps you were confusing them with a Kia which is not unlike an orange – and quite sour to boot.
You do know that your just marking time, don’t you? You are aware that everything you ever understood about society, economic activity, law, as well as order, is about to collapse into a storm of panic that will leave Somalia looking a good place to migrate to? Have you yet woken up to the fact that it’s all over for the good ship Titanic Britain?
But meanwhile, enjoy the street party.
i’m actually quite bullish on britain’s 10 year prospects even though i’m quite bearish on world prospects. it won’t be very easy but domestically the argument on high debt and taxes is being won and we can expect lower taxes (and debt interest) in five years . i also note a shift in minor public authority figures attitudes to enforcing pointless regulations (eg airport, pubs etc) and see a push back against the crap.
as europe implodes there should be less eu interference (or at least a clear cut opportunity to leave/massively reduce participation) .
the benifit bill will be tackled but it is too politically risky right now so the long – term supply side (education mainly) policies are being put in place. the other stuff will come later.
there will be difficult times but i don’t see a societal collapse in britain – pragmatism runs quite deep in the establishment here and the people won’t accept an authoritarian state. the larger issues is the us where things are getting out of hand and the economy is completely fucked. the british economy may not be in great shape but where else is a safe – haven of the west; europe, us, japan? china russia etc. are still brutal places which is why the world elite live in london even if britain has fucked it up over the last 20 or so years.
basically quite a bit of pain and upheaval but hopefully back to business – as – usual (low taxes, less intrusive state, decent economy) in ten years
Vote YES to AV!
Tony Robinson dosen’t get much work on the bbc, he should try spouting leftism whenever he get the chance. Oh look he’s on again.
The fit actress playing the teacher can make me vote any way she wants.
Beautiful women of whatever persuasion are the future my friend.
I thought she looked like the Flint bint.
This broadcast is disgusting! We’re lodging a complaint! In a democracy, only we should be allowed to have broadcasts putting our point across!
yeAH blUD, inniT? don’T be voTIn foR nO Av, yA gET mE?
VOTE ‘NO’ TO SLAVERY –
VOTE ‘NO’ TO AV
I have a cockroach in a box, he’s my friend.
Do you call him Ed?
Right, everybody out !!
Looks like the Yes lot have done something on Facebook to stop anyone being able to post this. Complained about it being abusive or something.
Nice bit of censorship.
Hey! Don’t you know who I am, bigot? I don’t care if you’re pregnant. Get out the fucking seat!
By the way, if anyone asks you about this, just tell them I was polite and that I love women. Got it, bitch? Or I’ll get Ed Balls to kick you in your pregnant stomach. And he would, trust me.
Socialism is the answer.
With a true blue hue.
But what’s the fucking question.
The question is, “What is the best way to fuck up Britain?”
A vote for AV is the final nail in the coffin of C’onservatism.
Dont’cha just love it?
Why is the referendum on a “first past the post basis”? Can’t we have AV in this? That’ll make it fun to watch the count.
This “No” film is so bad, it has made me wonder if I may vote “Yes” on the basis that FPTP has given us the mess we are in, and we can’t really be more bankrupt or mis-ruled without official State genocide (rather than the NHS).
If I was one of the students in that class, I’d never be late or miss a day. That teacher could get me to do anything.
Haven’t decided which way to vote yet, but really this is poor – can’t say it convinces me.
“Haven’t decided which way to vote yet”
Lol!
Try to repost this to Facebook and you find that it has been reported as “Spammy and/or Abusive”
Someone has obviously reported this as not being true to the LibDem world-view.
Let facebook now please.
So… associating the ‘no’ campaign with a ‘Tory’ B’stard. If you don’t geddit you’re a dense sixth former. The blue horse is called ‘Tory Boy’ and the red the more cutesy ‘Labour Lad’. Oh, and some baseball-capped ‘street’ kid.
Sack the ad company. And do it quick.
You startin, blud? What you tryin to say about me tho? I’m da mans round here, ya get me blud? Don’t try it. I’ll mash you, bruv.
Tarquin, would you get home this instant! You haven’t done your homework, your room’s a mess and dinner’s in 20 minutes. Plus the babysitter’s due at 21:00.
Mummy, may we please have something different for dinner this evening? I am rather bored of that ryce and peeas you always make. Oh, just hold on a moment, mummy, I’m getting a call.
Yeah, what you saying, blud? Yeah, I’m just chillin at my mum’s. Tellin that bitch to get me munchies, ya get me. I’ll give you a buzz in an hour and we get fucked on that weed you got, yeah? Safe, blud. Laters, yeah. Brrrap.
Wha’… I don’t quite… wtf IS AV?
It’s my Party’s opportunity to be in Coalition for generations.
A ‘yes’ vote on AV is great news for us LimpDums.
Voting ‘yes’ to AV would mean Cleggup and his LimpDums would be in coalition with either of the two major parties in perpetuity.
Everyone would have to agree with Nick whenever he says so.
That’s what limpdim Clegg hopes. In reality: no. Everyone now knows the limpdims are vermin. Watch the LimpDims get annihilated on May 5.
AV also mean that extremist religious parties are formed (look at places in Europe), so you’ll end up with the The Animal party (see Holland where AV had given these looneys regional govt seats) the Bradford Jihad Massive, Christian Fundementalist anti-abortionists, creationists, Fascists (real ones, not the Blairite New Labour soft-ish variety, Cyclists for lycra and street murder, Nationalists demanding ever more freebies and deep fat fried Mars Bars, more extreme eco-nutters, ‘lifestyle’ parties etc etc. All demanding a disproportionate share of attention and implementation of their whacky agendas in return for their ethics free slice of power.
After solving de Libyan crisis, i will turn my attention on de matter of AV.
I think it’s always wise to have a second, third, fourth or fifth preference, but don’t forget de shower afterwards.
First preference is most important. Unless the vote goes wrong, in which case it’s best to ask again, and get a new first preference. And then possibly another. Or just push through the preferred result.
Only if the mongs keep voting for the failures of the past.
And end up with Dead Ed as leader.
I’m telling you!
I’m the Prime Minister!
If you want to have a street party, you go ahead and have one!
Although not in my street, obviously.
Don’t you believe it…..WE decide such matters….it’s called “localism”…now then about these proposed “monthly” rubbish collections and the £5 surcharge to use your local recycling/rubbish tip
Does anyone know which way Gordon Brown is voting on AV ??
I want to know so that I can vote the opposite way to him. Gordon’s judgement was always total crap.
I know he can’t find his way to the Houses of Parliament any more but am assuming he can at least get his chauffeur and bodyguards to get him to his local Polling Station on 5th May.
Has he registered to vote on the electoral register though by October of last year ? otherwise………….. he can’t anyway
@ 30 yes so true
What if your not sure about AV?. What about maybe to AV?
Depends on your second preference vote obviously….pay attention at the back !!
Today is the day No to AV won the vote.
They did it by distorting the truth, but, the yes campaign is pathetic.
Are they going to make any adverts for non-imbeciles or is this a core vote strategy?
It is simple. AV means that the green party get both defence and energy portfolios in future governments in perpetuity (energy being the ‘expertise’ of their existence and defence because of their ‘expertise’ in ‘alternative conflict resolution’) – that is until (a) the lights go out all and / or (b) the one child policy is rejected (c) the country is invaded.
The greatest single argument against AV is Caroline Lucas and the Green Party.
The morons of Brighton have a lot to answer for and should be punished. Lets deport even more of the nations bum bandits, raving queens and militant faggotry there but also shut all of the public toilets and public parks.
We then explain to the uphill gardeners that there will be no more cottaging until that deranged socialist hag is swinging from a lampost, preferably live on her precious BBC.
There are times when people don’t deserve democracy.
Brighton is unique politically…it is totally unrepresentative in its politics to the rest of the UK where the “Greens” do not really register nationally in the polls…YET…but I fear that once AV is in operation I expect that to change radically throughout local and national elections………..the electorate will ultimately have even less say in who they elect as a government with shabby little stitch ups behind closed doors and junking their Manifestoes wholesale to get agreement from smaller parties who hold the balance of power(hang though on didn’t that happen last May ?)
EXACTLY…coalitions are a shambles.
I’ll be voting yes to AV because the No campaign features a wigga talking about roulette. Positively street innit.
Actually, the message I get from this video is: “Vote No to AV because we’re too stupid to understand it”.
The analogies with horseracing and roulette are totally inapplicable in any case.
As for the Alan B’stard sketch, let’s remember that the current coalition was brought to you by the FPTP system.
Although it is my Party’s policy to support AV, I am against it, as it would certainly cook my goose for re-election, if it ever became law.
was he brain damaged following quad bike accident?
love the betting shop roulette player…
