- A final pre-election special on the state of online advertising, the Tories' gambling problem, the new Never-Nigels and the British Invasion of American newsrooms. With Ian Hislop, Adam Macqueen, Matt Muir, Helen Lewis, and Andrew Hunter Murray.
A cheering sanity amongst the endless evasive party voices of the current politics. Thanks so much for your podcasts in this increasingly dreary campaign.
I've only recently stumbled upon these.
Algorithm finally did something good!
Thank you for such tremendous work. These make my bike rides to and from work fly by!
Will someone please point out that CCHQ renamed themselves 'Tax Check UK' right before last night's debate?
All that money and I haven't changed my mind, what a waste. Vote Labour 👍🏼✌🏼❤️😀
I had a nightmare last night that I had to vote Tory in order to stop a Refuk candidate winning the seat 😱
I live in Bristol and the amount of labour ads for Thangam on TH-cam around the first 2 weeks of the election being called were astonishing, it was all I was getting
I keep getting a Labour advert on YT, that if I didn't go check who it was for I'd have no idea if was for them.
YT keeps showing me a Labour advert for the candidate who's standing in a constituency I don't live in.
Could you look into the amounts parties can spend on advertising when it depends on the number of candidates fielded, please? A disproportionately loud party fielded numerous paper candidates, who made little or no attempt to engage with the electorate in the constituencies that they were placed in. Likely that same party overspent on advertising in specific constituencies. Would be of public interest to learn what was going on and where money was ending up. Our democracy relies on trust and honesty, but after this one everything about candidates (I had to bring ID to the polling station in order to vote, but candidates had no obligation to provide the electorate with any proofs of their existence) to campaigns containing provable lies wants tightened and made more accountable.
Really good points. Maybe email the Electoral Commission?
A conversation in which people are listening to each other, not talking over each other: you should give lessons to the News Agents.
You get the other extreme on YT quite often. I confess I often listen to presenters at double speed.
Good point-- American journalists shouldn't stand up when the President walks in. It's strange.
Great podcast.
LOVE the hack's reaction when he hears Helen Lewis say that US journos stand up when the president enters the room: "WHAAAAT???"
Yeah. He's the fuckin' head of State, have some respect!
@@SuezWSuezW the Monarch is the head of state here, not the prime minister.
@@SuezWSuezWwhy?
@@SuezWSuezWFor what?
I was taught that it was good manners to stand up when someone enters the room, particularly in a formal setting, whoever they are!
Big shout out for the Yorkshire Party leaflet!
Clarity vs Obfuscation. The PI Way.
What's complicated about the difference between "will" and "could be"??? Or requiring sources quoted?
People who don't adblock deserve it
how delightful to run across this again, having had to suffer through
the regressive drivel that the tube'y'all has inflicted on me since it decided
(for some reason known only to the algo-deities) that I didn't r.e.a.l.l.y. want to watch/listen to
what I had been watching/listening to for the last decade.
Is this genuine? I thought Hislop was against going on the web?
You were worried about "no one will pick up the phone". Rupert Murdock and Piers Morgan can fix that. And Besos can figure out that if we do away with income taxes and do 8500% tariffs on Chinese imports (Trump idea with no math or logic) besos can "earn" all the money he has been "deferring" for 10 years. Look for Besos's new book "What color is your light saber?"
As a longtime user of ad blocking software....
This is excellent content by Private Eye; I don't have to look at Ian Hislop's smug face. Keep it up! X
Haven't seen a single political advert, but then again I haven't seen a single advert, use an adblocker, be sensible.
