Spitting Image - Labour Party Election Broadcast

[julesthemadman]

The Labour Party is a joke - and I'm a believer in social justice. Irrelevant and hopeless.

[lee18580]

Neil Kinnock disliked this.

[jargonmaster]

This video is the Liberal party circa 2011

Justin Trudeau for leader!

[13agibson]

History repeats itself. By the way, who's in the drawer?

[flametaledfox]

@13agibson Derek Hatton

[sharpteeth17x929yw]

the more the world changes the more it stays the same!

[SenhorBundy]

This was the NSW Labor Party's theme song in the recent election there, I WISH! It suits them right down to the bone!

[batmanatvbl]

Bring back spitting image ffs! The government might actually prove a use ! at least it wouldn't just be policies that were a fu**ing joke !!!!!!!

[LiverpoolFC1960]

Spitting Image was brilliant every Sunday night "bring it back"!

[StephenFiorentini]

ROY!!!!!! NO ROY!!!!

[firedrake300]

Out of curiousity, who's doing the voices?

[stuey2ey]

Also loving the noise Blair makes when he pops out of the 'Unpopular Policies' drawer =]

"Maaaah!"

[flametaledfox]

@stuey2ey I see where you are comming from, but it is actually Derek Hatton from the Liverpool Labour Council Militant Tendancy

[stuey2ey]

Brilliant moment at 0:59 when Kinnock gets his face trapped in the door to No. 10.

Amusing puppetry mishap or insighful political metaphor? Perhaps both...

[stuey2ey]

What is this I don't even

[SenhorBundy]

In Australia, the NSW Labor Party could use this for the upcoming state election.

[seanynut]

@19189073  a weird shitbag nazi of a leader lol !

[conrad4ever]

this could be the song for the england football team!

[rigel5]

This is brilliant! Politicians had a lot to put up with this show! Bring back Spitting Image!!! Nurses, nurses, pensoners, black people, brown people, nurses, nurses!! Blah, blah, blah ...... hot air! That's the reality of it!

[AndyAufAnglo]

Just think of all the good people we have Roy.........maybe not.

[Nowaynohownever]

"It's even worse than your greatest fears, with us so bad she'ill be in for years"

[madjaime2007]

lol

[vntr2006]

People still voted for them though...as they will do now.

[LunarEcli]

Is the long haired senile looking guy Michael Foot?

[flametaledfox]

@LunarEcli Yep

[TheZanipolo]

@LunarEcli he *was* senile, he didn't just look it

[LunarEcli]

Since everyone hates New Labour and they have pretty much no chance of winning the 2010 election, they might as well use this to at least make people laugh.

Honestly I just wish the Labour lefties had won. They might still be a crappy opposition with no chance of getting into power, but at least we'd have some genuine politicians.

[bladesharks]

@LunarEcli  if everybody hate them then why do they 269 vote and cons have 290 votes half of England still votes for them

[BrapBrap1234]

@bladesharks Please look at the way labour have changed the consituency bounderies. The lib dems had around 25% of teh vote and got 50 seats. Labour have increase the amount of constutuenices per labour voter so they have a better chance of being re-elected. I think around 30% of the voters went for labour, with the conservatives havinga round 38% but tehse aren't accurate figures. My point is that the tories and lib dems need more votes to win a single seat than labour do

[bladesharks]

@BrapBrap1234 ok i really don't care that much i just said tha labour had 369 set and cons have 389 say not eveyone hate labour that or the rigged the votes

[MacraStraba]

This just about sums up the Labour Party at this point of time. That's right, pray Howling Laud and his Monster Raving Loony William Hill Party doesn't lead you, because they just might in 2010.

[116madmax]

Vote Labour the Party of Islam

[bottlestopper1984]

i wonder if brown will us this

[flametaledfox]

Does anyone know what is being said after 1:40?

Sounds like "If something something is your greatest fears, with us so bad she'll be in for years"

Thanks

[LunarEcli]

@flametaledfox i think it's "If 5 more years is your greatest fears"

[LunarEcli]

@flametaledfox wait, it's actually "It's even worse than your greatest fears" i think...

[TommyDGNR8]

@flametaledfox "It's even worse than your greatest fears/With us so bad she'll be in for years"

[Subotan]

@flametaledfox

"It's even worse than your greatest fears, we've got some old bat, she'll be in for years!"

[Nowaynohownever]

Were hopeless, hopeless, its inconceivable anyone can cope less.

We're not going to win we dont know how if we ever stood a chance we've blown it now.

Here here

We're awful, awful we've got unpopular policies by the drawer full.

We should come third its not asking much

Were just praying that we ....

Can anyone tell me the end of that verse, thank you.

[ittakesafamily]

@Nowaynohownever "We're just praying that we beat Lord Sutch" is the last line. Sutch was the leader of the Monster Raving Loony Party.

[flametaledfox]

.. Beat Lord Sutch!

[753hill]

@flametaledfox can someone post the entire set of lyrics for this song? sometimes they're just muttering together and i can't hear a thing...thanks.

[bodunchar]

funnnnnny and true, shocking so many people fell for their bs.

wont share cos vid quality to bad

[TheZanipolo]

Foot was even worse in real life than his Spitting Image puppet - thank God that communist pig never won

[Ridwee]

R.I.P Michael Foot

[TheFlyingPurpleHippo]

"Popular people! People people like!"

"the Tory Party!"

genius.

[ozzymcosborne]

This could so easily be labour now

[dim432]

Dont vote Gordon or labour.

[Ridwee]

It doesn't matter who we put into power, we're fucked either way.

Let's vote Boris in and at least have a good laugh while the country dissolves.

[beenee1000]

aye. labour have poisond the well

[RebelofIreland]

and now Britain is ready to vote in the "Cuntservatives" in the next election. Well if you reckon new labor is bad, you've obviously forgotten how bad the tories were in the eighties....enjoy more poll tax riots.

[killgill0]

@RebelofIreland Yeah the tories were terrible, shutting down those useless mines that no-one wanted, as well as striking off those silly industries that gaain no-one wanted use of.

[RebelofIreland]

@killgill0

Don't you mean those useless mines that no one in the south of England wanted? Besides perpetuating the conflict in Northern Ireland for another decade, yeah the tories were great...

Bad and all as new labor is, I'll take them over those super right muppets any day.

[killgill0]

No i mean those useless miners that the whole world didnt want seeing as how no one wanted british coal, and no one wanted things manufactured in britain coz it was crap

[Durbs75]

We will. But as you can't spell "Labour" I would imagine you don't live here in which case your opinion is noted but worth jack shit, eh sunshine?

[Durbs75]

@RebelofIreland

Steady on lad. I go to Wales on regular occasions to have see some friends. Great country, great place.

I just think you're a cunt.

[caltrop21]

Durbs75 you sound like a cunt.

[Furyon1]

@RebelofIreland Good, fucking stay there

[Awitsaduck]

@RebelofIreland Actually some of us dont believe in basing our vote on what happened a generation ago, or in my case before I was even born (end of 88).

If that is your argument, along with calling the part "cuntservatives" then I pity laboUrs chances in the next election

[Galacticmaster]

When you look at labour these days,

you just have to put your head in ye hands, labour is in the black forest, and its no even any hope to itself,

labour has got more of a chance dieing as a party than the stuck up conservatives

[9liver9xx]

bring it back

[dave46563]

I was a kid when spitting image was on....but my parents always let me stay up on a sunday night to watch it. didnt make much sense out of all the politics, but it still made me laugh.

[locomunkeeman]

i ask simply define a facist ? we only say left and right derivitive of french revolution ,which one is right wing ? national socialist soviet republics or national solicialist german workers party?

NSDAP or USSR bothe are far more fierce in their social control than any conservative party

[LauraMcGovern1983]

Labour could use this for the next general election.

[banjokitten]

@LauraMcGovern1983 And come the coalition's re-election, they could use this!

[craigjsm]

"A facist is still a facist."

What, pray tell, is a facist? Someone who discriminates against faces?

[leothelion19]

ssupere mat is a nazi hypercrite thats all i have to say kk ps. i dont care if he replies to this

[garyturner96]

This was hilarious! Thank God that Welsh wind bag Kinnick didn't become our PM that's all I say.

[Belegaer]

At least the labor party in the 80s had policies distinct of that from the ruling party. "Dave" Cameron himself said that he was the "Heir to Blair" - vote Cameron if you want more of the same!

[thatcheritescot]

lol. fantastic!

[ysplse]

Just look at this bloke supermat's YouTube page and you'll see what a died in wool Nazi he really is.

Ordinary Aussie guy indeed, it doesn't matter how you lie through your teeth we know you for what you are

[supremerat]

Yes, I admit it. I am proud white racialist. Nothing will ever change that fact. Go die, lefty

[MrGparadox]

Interesting strategy. A pity that this strategy seems to work all to many times.

[supremerat]

If you don't like it, then I promise you that you will be sent to a five star holiday resort known as Dachau. Dachau has a range of facilities including a nice chamber where you will be kept worm thanks to Zyklon gas. You will like it so much that you will be dying to get out.

[slavemale2]

This is my last reply to you. As you are a bigot. The capacity for love for all things has always seemed to me the first indication that an individual or race is approaching adulthood. Using that standard, I accuse you or any other BNP member / voter of a complete lack of maturity. Any more comments from you about mixing the races bein disgusting, and that the boats should be shot out of the water, will only prove that you are not only a bigot, but a FACIST as well

[supremerat]

I'm not the bigot here. You anti-racists are the ones who are bigots. You claim to support free speech but yet you are opposed to letting racialists and white racial activists have the right to speak freely. You refuse to debate with racialists and choose to just simply shout us white activists down.

[levartemit186]

Not seen this for 20 years, thanks so much for the memories!

[Erech01]

If Browns govt. were in this position now it would be considered an improvement:P

[KingCharlesI]

Gordon Brown and his gov is even more pisspoor....

Back to the Tories!!!

[Galacticmaster]

yeah back to the tories and then back to labour, and then back to the tories,

no one will change britain for the good, or help anyone out

this country will decline just like humanity on earth - doomed to extinction

[Ilikenuman]

what you suggesting? spoilt ballot, lib dems, ukip?

[supremerat]

Why doesn't Britain get the British National Party to be it's government for four years? It wouldn't hurt.

[flametaledfox]

Because Britian is too much of a better country without those bastards running our lives. It is better to have a rubbish Labour Government where free speech is allowed then to have a rubbish BNP government where free speech is not allowed. Of Coarse if you want Britain to become a collapsed state of rioting and civil war, where rape is made legal and drugs can be brought freely, then vote for BNP. Just remember thousands of people died in World War Two to protect Britain against Facist Nazism!!!

[slavemale2]

A sane reply at last!! From the original poster of this vid no less. TY very much flametalefodfox. Glad to know I'm not theonly one here prepared to fight against the ignorance of idiots like whitesupremicist (or should that just be supremat?)

[slavemale2]

!I am a National Socialist" Out of your own mouth you stamd condemned. National Socialiat = Nazi. Don't believe me? National Socialist are the first two words in the full name of Hitler's Nazi party. A party that tells disfusting lies about immigration, & whose leader openly & publicly said that the holocausr has no relevance in 2009? THe BNP are facists & Nazi's, nothing you can say will prove otherwise. And as for talk to a member of the BNP? Frankly I'd rather slit my own wrists.

[supremerat]

So you refuse to hear what the other side has to say about the matter? What a bigot you are. What relevance does holocaust have in our modern society? What relevance does it have for my generation? It ended 64 years ago. The BNP is not fascist. The average BNP member is neither a fascist nor a National Socialist. Please remember that I live in Australia.

[slavemale2]

I already now what "the other side" (i.e the BNP) have to say on the matter. The BNP can only speak of xenophobia,homophobia, & other such matters of hatred. The holocaust has relevance for the rest of human history. We must learn from that evil, to ensure such a thing NEVER happens again. If we vote BNP, we enable the holocaust to happen again.. As for you being Australian? A facist is still a facist. Regardless of nationality

[supremerat]

BNP does support free speech. It isn't fascist. Why don't you go and have a talk with an average member of the British National Party and you will realise what they are really like? A BNP government will tough on crime and strong on law and order. The BNP supports the introduction of the death penalty for rapists and murderers. There a number of war veterans in the Party, you know

[flametaledfox]

I'm certain that there are a number of war veterans who support the BNP, however they also supported the Nazi Party...

[dim432]

GORDON BROWN IS USELESS

[JapeUK]

And Cameron is a political nonentity, what you gonna do?

[kayman92]

well said flametailedfox can i get your opinion on the recent mep's seats?

along with nazi links (npd, mark collet, john tyndall and andrew brons)

[bripat22]

to show how pisspoor the Tories will be when they get in (same old lot as pre-1997)

[rigel5]

Love the bit at 1:29 where Kinnock and Hattersley are trying to think of all the good people Labour have! Very funny!

[URhnsi35]

On Have I Got News For You last week, Ian Hislop made me laugh with this: "This Hum, apparently it's an annoying drone that's been going on and on in the background for people, and always assumed that was Neil Kinnock".

[dim432]

Gordon brown is useless, uselees everything he dose is useless, he not going to win he do know how cameron will will kick brown's pow

[URhnsi35]

The scary thing is, UKIP are now third in the polls. Let's hope nothing drastic happens in a few days.

[Erech01]

Thats the european polls, UKIP not do anywhere near aswell in GE's.

[supremerat]

No, I hope the British National Party gets into parliament. Now that would be great for the British and a complete shock to the globalist pushing capitalist-intelligentsia

[slavemale2]

The BNP? No,no, a thousand times NO!! The BNP should be re-named the British NAZI Party. They are a bunch of racist,hommophobic thugs. No-one other than a complete ignoramus, or a close relative of neanderthal man would EVER vote for such a buch. So which are YOU!!

[supremerat]

The British National Party are not National Socialists or fascists. Please learn how to spell you retard

[slavemale2]

A party whose leader has told lies on National televisio about the contents og the Qu'ran. The same man who publicly suggested the murder of human beings (his "shoot the boats out of the water" comment). And a party, whom on their own website have opposed mixed marriages. Sound a lot like facists to me. And yes my spelling isn't perfect. But at least I don't use a mental handicap as a term of abuse.You are as much of a facist as Nick Griffin & the rest of the BNP. MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARISIN

[supremerat]

You are such a political correctness freak. The Islamic religious book is a book of hatred, sexism, homophoia and male supremism. It should burnt to save western civilization. The oats should be blown out of the water along with the multiculturalist retards who support mass immigration. Mixing the races is disgusting and must be punished at all costs.If you want to see fascists you should go and take a look at the retards down at Antifa.

[flametaledfox]

I think that the majority of the electorate would disagree with you there!

[boring546]

has labour really changed since then? am afraid the conservatives are just a different shade of shite.

[Durbs75]

Depends what you define as shite, I suppose. But they'll be different! Bring it on, I say.

[BombasticTrooper]

Judging from what I read in the Economist, this seems to be the state of Mr. Brown's Labour Party too.

[MondoBeno]

Neil Kinnock always got on my nerves.

[alexelliottwelch]

Er...was this in any Spitting Image DVDs?

[flametaledfox]

This was part of the 1987 Election special, however as far as I know this is not available on DVD (I managed to salvage this off a friends YouTube account before it he was wiped off along with his Spitting Image clips. He copied this of a video. Hopefully Carlton will bring out a special Election edition of Spitting Image with both the 1987 and 1992 election episodes on.

[napoleonbonarparte]

I have been looking for this for ages, great video flametaledfox, enjoyed that eden one too

[flametaledfox]

By the way, who is the small man who looks like David Steel? I know that there is Kinnock, Hattesley, Healey, and Foot. But the other one is a mystery!

[Durbs75]

I think that may be Bryan Gould. He's hardly remembered now but he was a senior shadow minister back in the 80s. I think he subsequently emigrated to New Zealand!

[flametaledfox]

Thank you Durbs75 :-)

[ThePurpleSpeck]

Also came third in the Labour Party leadership contest in '94, after Blair and Prescott.

[curlyceltic]

I just remember people peeing themselves lauging at this as a kid, whatever the persons voting tactics. I think people understood the stupidity of politics, and the option between voting for smallpox or the plague. This was fantastic relief.

[gazdula]

Labour at the next election except in a scotch voice

[mhoverthere]

'we're hopeless, it's inconceivable that anyone could cope less, we're not going to win, we don't know how, if we ever stood a chance we've blow it now'

Makes me think of England at the World Cup :P

[MacraStraba]

One of the catchiest songs from Spitting Image.

[theeddielang]

Nurses! Nurses! Pensioners, old people, black people, brown people, young people, pensioners, Nurses! Unemployed people, teachers, Nurses! Old people, Nurses! ROFL....

[fatoldjew]

Sounds exactly like the Democrats to me.

[fatoldjew]

In 20 years, nothing has changed with Labour.
