Anyone Remember Those Short Public Information Films They Used To Show On Tv?

[Hymie]

This youtube video made me think perhaps they should start showing them again.

That's not a 'Public Information Film', it;s a piece of nasty political provocation.

[Hymie]

Nothing wrong with the truth, IMHO.

[andy-hughes]

It's not a 'Public Information' film, and the veracity of these nonsensical scaremongering pieces of puff rarely stand up to genuinely objective scrutiny.

I've got a dirty barrel that needs it's bottom scraping Hymie - how are you fixed?

sandy, I remember that one!

And the couple sitting on a cliff watching a 'dingie' in trouble.

An ad for the Coastguard, I think.

 This is not a Public Information film but a hard hitting political broadcast. I remember them on TV and in the cinemas but i fear we will not see the Information Films again soon, although we badly need them.

What the film doesn't address - in what way would it have been different (better/worse?) under some other government? 

[davebro3]

I think the lefties on here are getting seriously worried that Labour ISN'T going to be the next in power! 

[Togo]

I do. I wasn't quite alive when we went into Europe once again to save the poor citizens who were under the jackboot of a vile regime with propaganda lick spittles all over the World. This is one  ...   I can find many more.

Loved that one sandy, George & Petunia

''Lovely day int it!''

William - I would contest that itbis a 'political broadcast ' in any sense of the word.

Not least because nasty fear-mongering tripe like this would never get near a television station in this country.

It's Internet click bate, nothing more.

Well, that wasn't "Charley Says".
