As Electioneering For May's Election Increases, Should Such Vile Anti Ukip Propaganda Be Allowed To Take Place?

/// Nick Mirsky, Channel 4's head of documentaries, denied that the film, which airs ay 9pm, was 'anti-Ukip', ///

Well you could have fooled me, perhaps in the future we can see another such documentary, showing the pit falls taking place after a Labour Government is elected?

[Gromit]

You haven't seen the programme, how can you possibly judge ot one way or the other? It is obviously a work of fiction, it is not supposed to be factual.

The timing is not good, so close to a general election.

You yourself must have posted hundreds of threads of which you have no personal experience of, I was merely posting on what was said to be taking place in this documentary.

Fiction or not, is it still in order for an actual political party ie not a fictional one to be portrayed in such a way?

Perhaps it would also be acceptable for it to show UKIP putting all immigrants into concentration camps?

Docu Drama, not a documentary.

So long as such propaganda stays out of the campaign proper there's no problem with it. I doubt such things will have much effect on how people vote. By about now, most people will have made up their minds about UKIP anyway.

[bednobs]

personally i am in utter agreement with aog

[agchristie]

Unless it infringes any broadcasting conditions I say it can be screened.

You never know, it might have a positive result for UKIP and make doubters even more likely to vote for them. Many folk are fed up with the state of politics and being told what is good for them and no feel good factor. Let folk make their own mind up. Running scared perhaps as UKIP's popularity continues to flourish....

Perhaps they have, that is why such things as this programme are trying to persuade them to change their minds, but personally I think that this kind of thing it is having the opposite effect.

[jim360]

It very possibly will. Anyone who is leaning towards UKIP is likely to be pushed further that way the more they come under attack.

[mushroom25]

was anyone offended by the film (several years ago now, I think) that similarly depicted a fictional scenario, in docu-drama form, about the execution of gary glitter?

Not sure if an anonymous person's character can be defamed...

Oh yes it can, false accusations such as the one that has been made against me can alter the opinions of the rest of those who join this site, regarding my choice of reading matter.

And don't forget the person who made that lie about me is also an AnswerBank Moderator and there is no telling what personal information about each and everyone of us that they are privileged to.

How can you be sure that this programme is anti-UKIP?

From the show's description, it appears to contain things that we have all read and heard from UKIP.

With exception of race riots, everything in the documentary seem like a pretty reasonable reflection on what life might be like under UKIP.

Why do you think this programme is vile?

Would you similarly think it vile if it were about Labour, the LibDems or the Conservatives?

how do you know it's vile?

[THECORBYLOON]

ANOTHEOLDGIT the only information stored is name, username, password and e-mail address so I doubt that there is much there to interest a mod.

[Gromit]

Aplogies AOG,

I assumed you had read the books because you had so much to say about it. I now realise you have just been told to be outraged by a third party.
I now accept your posts were not based on having actually read the books and your opinions on there content therefore was secondhand. Even more glad I didn't bother with that thread.

[bednobs]

is it really such a slight to be accused of reading Pornographic novels??
PS aog you walked into that one :)
Anyway, the program itself may well be interesting, and while we are not actually in Purdah yet, i think the timing sucks

Apologies accepted.

Perhaps in future it would be wiser to make sure of the facts rather than assume anything. I had so much to say about it (as you put it) because that was the subject I put up for discussion.

Regardless of what you thought, I was not told to be outraged by a third party, simply because I was not outraged, once again a wrong assumption by yourself.

Neither was this a pornographic novel of what you falsely accused the ‘likes of me’ reads, and while we are on that phrase the ‘likes of me’ wasn’t it you in your capacity of a moderator that accused me of being rude to a certain person, because I also used those words?

So perhaps before you discipline others you should first practice what you preach?

Finally, if you were so glad that you did not bother with that thread, why did you bother to bring it up on this thread?

Obviously I can't speak for you, but It is as far as I am concerned.

It would seem to others on this site that they will fight for the cessation of Page 3 girls, also the scanty clad females in the Daily Mail and yet seem quite at ease regarding the reading of pornographic novels.
