Bank fight - Irish Halifax ad

[wjl1970]

Brilliant ad!

[LogNaSionna]

For one of the truths about the many lies told about Germany.

Google:

The Liberation of the Camps: Facts vs. Lies by Theodore J. O' Keefe.

If you want the facts go to Institute for Historical Review (ihr.org) and click on their archives.

Germany has been lied to and lied about.

I live in Ireland. You should see some other adverts like this!!! Heh...that irish dancing dog xD

[totallypeaceandlove]

back off you bankers

[AnAuldDubliner]

it was banned in eire and NI because its depicts 2 groups who are still fighting today

[OpeningSalvoe]

@AnAuldDubliner What two groups?

I worked at HBOS plc for 4 years and hated every second of it. The company had absolutely no ethical or moral standards, much like the people who worked there that were 'good at their job'.

The bank actively lured vulnerable people into cycles of debt to make as much profit as possible. Overdraft --> Credit Cards --> Loan --> Arrears Recovery --> Court Ruling..that's how they wanted it to play out, pay off debt by offering even more debt.

They didn't give a crap about their customers.

[seamanrob]

@sbowesuk precisely why I told Halifax where to stick their cashing in book fifteen years ago, and have always (when asked) told friends and family and anyone who'll listen to steer clear of the greedy SOBs...

Had a large grin on my face the day I thought they'd fold... I guess I need to get my vindictive streak under control.

[madkingsoup]

I've finally found it! We watched them film this from our office in the middle of Slough and then wondered why we'd never seen it on TV.

[JimWe]

What an obnoxious ad. The usual "evil white men in suits".

[FABVOICE]

Great fun to film it, It was filmed in Slough, England!!!

[rachelpdoylexox]

[mohanicus]

WHOOPS!!!!!!

[Grim798]

What you goin to do.. tell your mammy?

[RKHSMan]

freakin awesome!

[doylerdude193]

Can you believe that people wanted to ban this ad? They were complaining that it was way too violent for children to be watching. Halifax replied that the children had probably just been watching "Tom and Jerry" before the ad came on, and that was just as violent, if not more so.

[PARKOURking48]

I thought they did ban it, but yh halifax have got a point

[PuffMac]

another example of political correctness :(

[stretchlightning]

[ruendoc]

That ad is hilarious, Joe Duffy and his whingebag listeners can piss off and get a life, God forbid we have a laugh. Cockbags

[Andrewduane101]

Brilliant ad. Song is Ballroom Blitz. Kickass song too.

[hazelnutash]

It's mad funny that is!! The only reason I looked it up was because I heard them giving out about it!!

[powergiraffe]

Well I somehow got the impression that they're bullies.

[jimmers37]

people are idiots I think its hilarious- besides which it is common knowledge that Joe Duffy is a swollen asshole.

[thesnapper]

great ad - and to think people were giving out on Joe Duffy!
