I was a little surprised to see a Euro Election broadcast for the BNP advertised on BBC 1 last night. Was a lil more surprised / amused / annoyed when I actually watched it.
Anyone else catch this pathetic piece of poorly made propaganda? Thoughts on how effective it might be?
Not able to post link as at work, apologies.

That's straight-up dystopian. Not what they're portraying, but just the fact that this video exists
That singing is extremely creepy.

Yes, but not in the way you'd want.
Pretty fucking creepy.

What was the deal with those emperor penguins trying to get into Britain?
"to become a philosopher, start by walking very slowly"
I was not surprised to see it on BBC as television networks in the UK have obligations to broadcast party political broadcasts for parties standing in a certain number of seats. I wish I could say it was poorly made propaganda, but the visual was not poorly made propaganda although the audio was. I assume the emperor penguins are supposed to represent hijab-wearing persons.
I feel delicate now i've watched that. It's not even so bad it's funny, it's just out and out disturbing. Anyone who was flirting with bigotry but has now decided to commit after watching that needs tender love and medication.

Why aren't the SPGB fielding enough candidates for a party political broadcast?
"Events have their own logic, even when human beings do not." - Rosa Luxemburg
"There are decades when nothing happens; and there are weeks when decades happen." - Lenin
No, they began with the opening of the song, and then cut to a man in front of a screen saying that the BBC had censored it, then they showed the clips of people voicing support for the BNP and encouraged people to visit their website. Also they claimed that Nick Griffin single handedly stopped us from going to war with Syria.
They aren't big enough. They need to run full lists of candidates in all electoral regions to be eligible for a broadcast on the BBC.

"From the relationship of estranged labor to private property it follows further that the emancipation of society from private property, etc., from servitude, is expressed in the political form of the emancipation of the workers; not that their emancipation alone is at stake, but because the emancipation of the workers contains universal human emancipation – and it contains this because the whole of human servitude is involved in the relation of the worker to production, and all relations of servitude are but modifications and consequences of this relation."

This can't be real.
Down with the Mao Tse-tung/Pepsi Cola/Billy Graham axis!

I like how it opens growling at UKIP for not being racist enough. Tell them all just where to go by voting BNP...
Don't think it'll sway anyone though. It screams with pride: "WE ARE THE MIGRANT-HATING PARTY! VOTE FOR US IF YOU REALLY WANT THEM MUSLAMICS OUT."

I think you're right that it's unlikely to sway anyone. Not sure that was the point though; mostly, I think, it was to remind BNP supporters who might be thinking of switching to the UKIP that the BNP is (was once?) the proper party of jingoistic racists. I suspect the BNP is as scared of the UKIP as the Conservatives are.

“The possibility of securing for every member of society, by means of socialized production, an existence not only fully sufficient materially, and becoming day by day more full, but an existence guaranteeing to all the free development and exercise of their physical and mental faculties – this possibility is now for the first time here, but it is here.” Friedrich Engels

No, they just don't have the money or people to put up full lists of candidates in all the seats.
Having said that they'd need 78 people (I think) so they should be able to fill the lists. But I doubt they could pay for them to stand.
