I've had a reply today, apparently the actual spiel wont be released to the press until March 17th.
Those who get the letter are asked to keep the actual content confidential until then.

This is the absolute worst case I have ever seen on here of "I know something you don't know, I know something you don't know, nah nah nah nah"

Just post it up.

It wasn't intended that way.

Hmmm, what forum to post in next ?

Outside of speed plod and the law ..... or advanced driving ..... I just cannot seem to choose the right one !

[mybrainhurts]

Received my letter today.

Don't think I'll read it...

[Matt_N]

I too recieved my letter and 5 or 6 page report informing me that we're wrong and the advert was right.

[TASS]

got it, binned it

[stew-S160]

what a bunch of ASS HATS

[Roo]

Got two copies of this in the post yesterday.

First full paragraph on page 5 is intersting.

[dandarez]

What a load of crap.

I got to page 5 and only one word should arise...
'brainwashing'.

Unfortunately, the brainwashing (which has been going on for some time now in this country) has now reached the stage of 'scary'. This is what it is intended to do, and that's why they involve the developing mind (ie kids - oops, sorry, 'young people' and they 'brainwash' them as early as possible now).

It's a little more difficult, but not hard, to 'brainwash' those who have stood slightly longer on the planet. But don't worry, when a bandwagon rolls and you don't get on it, you very quickly become a heretic and a minority (but unusually a minority that doesn't get a voice!).

Not for release until the 17th? Who's gonna stick theirs in the post to the Ed of ??? (whichever tabloid or broadsheet suits your fancy?)


I have said it a lot, but this country is sleepwalking into totalitarianism and a Stasi state.
I'm old enough not to give a toss anymore. Really, really frightening for the younger generation imo.

WAKE UP!

funny...

but when it's ready (these things take a lot of time. I know!) will you have time to put the key in the ignition before you are forcibly lifted out of the seat by a bunch of uniformed planet-saver brainwashed 'kids' who then dismember your car, and you?

Not necessarily in that order.

Of course, something as far fetched... 'that'll never happen here'.

I remember those few last words used a lot in my teens (60s) - classic example 'surveillance of the populace'.

Then I guess I'll be keeping the sharks fed, and the UK CSIs in a job as they'd be looking for those kids for a long time

^This. Kids are very easy to influence. Get your propaganda in early and the rest is a piece of cake.

I'll probably only be able to turn the engine over in the underground car park for fear of being lynched

Meanwhile ...

BBC said:

China's demand for oil jumped by an "astonishing" 28% in January compared with the same month a year earlier, the International Energy Agency (IEA) says.

while us sods are being taxed so much that

BBC said:

But the IEA predicted demand in developed countries would fall by 0.3%.

My kids got into trouble at school as they wouldn't believe the brainwashing, in fact my proudest moment was my son (age 12) telling me that he had told his science teacher that 'mum says all this man made global warming is codswallop', and then went on to ask what the woolly mammoths did to cause the end of the last ice age!

I wish I had kids, just to annoy the hard of thinking teachers who preach this kind of rot

Well done to your son

Well, two of the adverts have been banned. Ed Miliband insists that it was merely a matter of how things were phrased though

[daveparry]

I complained too, the annoying thing really is that the ads aired all the same, i think if someone complains about an ad then it should be suspended until an inquiry is held. Lets face it if an add showed a nipple it would be taken off straight away!

[TASS]

Radio 4 interviewed an ASA spokesman and some warmist, both were allowed to say the only thing they really questioned was one word, 'will' saying it should have been substituted for 'might' No opportunity for a realist to speak. The warmest was also allowed to say that the IPCC say that extreme rainfall and weather in almost certainly going to happen despite the reams of evidence to counter that claim and the current investigations of the sources.

LBC did the same saying the ASA had found the ads misleading and sensationalist, quite a different perspective.

[andyroo]

I don't understand why two adverts have been pulled for exaggerated claims, and one of them wasn't. They all showed the same idea, played on the same theme of extreme natural disasters.
