I have a question for you Rob what does "one common British culture" exactly mean ?

[robag88]

@Animatiotron

What's the context of the phrase?

[Animatiotron]

@robag88 Its from UKIP website . UKIP policies->immigration. I know from your website that you are involved with that political group so I was just wondering what does one common British culture really means ?

[robag88]

@Animatiotron

I interpret it to mean civic nationalism (natuionalism based on political and geographical identity, a shared language and a shared set of laws and customs).

Good stuff Rob, a nice series of videos, keep the coming

Great video, very good info & very articulated throughout.This should be shown in my college media class, sadly I doubt it'll be, & if it did they'd just label it as nonsense & call it 'bad research by someone who dosnt know how the industry works'.Yet we believe the mainstream news.The stuff about Michael Moore is spot on.I remember a college tutor saying "hes good at what he does", what? he gets mainstream coverage, hes part of the agenda.

Ah, finally all done. I feel so educated now.

It'll be months before get a video out on conspiracy theories. New film reviews will mainly be video versions of analysis that are currently on my site in text form - Bladerunner, Hellraiser, updated 2001 analysis etc.

[contrafib]

Sweet. Any ideas approximately how long it'll be before it appears? And which film reviews are in the works?? Cheers.

[robag88]

Oh of course. I'll be covering the character assassination tactics and branding methods used at both ends of the spectrum. I won't try to tell people which conspracies are true or not, but help them define some reliable methods for sorting the ridiculous from the credible :)
