Honest Government Ad | UK 🇬🇧
EDIT: Woops, okay... so, sharing the twitter link does not work after all (noted). I've replaced it with the good old YouTube link. So that should show up now. Apologies for the double-post.
Dear Patrons
Here's our latest Honest Government Ad!
Yes, friends in the UK - after years of requests, we finally made an Honest UK Government Ad for your shit government. Sorry it took so long.
Sadly I am not exagerating when I say that British people, the poor and the young especially, are drowning in multiple crises, the country entering a profound social emergency.
The current leadership election is a circus that makes no difference to the material conditions of people amid a spiralling cost of living crisis. The Conservative Party is basically a death cult at this point. And Labour is... well, that's the problem - where are they?
The only hope seems to be coming from the people - who might just be in the process of realising how much power they have if they act collectively.
That is why I dedicated this Honest Government Ad not just to heaping shit on the Tories (though of course, that had to be done), but also to highlighting some of the inspiring actions that are taking place in the UK right now. Like the strikes and the Don'tPayUK and Enough is Enough campaigns.
I hope this HGA helps to highlight these campaigns; or if nothing else, provides a sanity-check and some release, during these genuinely troubling times.
And don't worry Aussie friends, we will be getting back to shitfuckery in our own backyard soon enough. Like many of you, I'm sure, I've been observing our political landscape realigning after a decade of rot. I've been watching closely, thinking and talking with people to understand how best we can be of help in ensuring that the remaining years in this critical decade are not wasted - especially on climate policy.
So whilst it might appear that I'm taking a hiatus from our usual Aussie coverage, rest assured that ideas and scripts are brewing behind the scenes :)
Big shout-out to Ruth, one of our Patrons, who suggested the Authorised by message - which was a perfect way of reminding our Aussie audience that we haven't forgotten about them as we cover shitfuckery abroad. Nice one, Ruth. (And thanks also to everyone who sent me their suggestions when I shared the preview).
Ok, that'll all for now. I'll catch you very soon - either with the podcast or another HGA - whichever one comes first.
Thank you, as always, for supporting our work.

Great video, keep up the good work!
Thanks Carlos!
Fucking Tories! Wake the FUCK UP! ALL you Brits are IDIOTS for continuing to elect these kleptocratic planet killing assholes🤬
Thanks for turning your attention to the UK...it's in a dreadful state, please keep up the good work. You won't be short of material.
Great video as always. Please note the enough is enough link is broken. Probably should be https://wesayenough.co.uk
Thanks Max - fixed!
Sunak wears £500 suede shoes to visit a building site and Truss is virtually inviting Scotland, Northern Island and Wales to secede. Whilst the cost of living for Mr Everyman is skyrocketing and this pair are so far removed from real life as to be oblivious to the pain of the once was Great Britain. Masterly satire Juice Team but essentially NO laughing matter. :-(
Agreed :-/
Out of control, over the top, insanely great—how does one even find enough superlatives for your creations. All I can do is cheer madly—and cry.
haha those will all do, thank you David!
Thanks for all you do. We need this more than ever as the unhinged rightwing continues to shove us more and more toward an Autocracy of cruel and heartless fuckwittery.
Cheers Alpheus, thank you for your longstanding support here!
"Authorised by the Department of Bent Bills and Cronyism AKA the BBC!" P.S. (I LOVE Elle's .44s "Truss moment" - so funny!!) Have a gander at this, too. Our very own, 'cool and normal' Nerrine Skinner! We are Rising up. **https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSzKKalVUsY** She'd absolutely be a far less sickening item than the airheaded death-cultist shill we're getting. And, yeah, it seems Labour are too busy FIGHTING the Strikers!!! And. That. IS. A... DISGRACE!!! (Enough IS Enough!)
Thanks Darren!
I live in the UK and this Honest Government Ad 100% hits the nail on the head, bravo!
So glad to hear it, thank you!
Loved this one! It's great to see you poking fun at other countries and the USA is just too easy.
Thanks Eric and yes, we'll get to canada some time soon!
Too late for this video's tagline, but since I'm absolutely certain Giordano won't any time soon run out of related shitfuckery to cover, a future one could be "Authorised by the Department of Domestic Toryism".
Oooh i like it! Thanks Richard :)
Excellent as usual. Thanks
Thanks John!
Ellen's expression at 0.40secs. Gold. 'Get back to work Amazon slaves!' lol
It's pretty mean haha!
Haha that last line killed me (don’t worry, no spoilers) 😂. Fantastic production quality as usual. Keep em coming. Cheers
Thanks to Ruth for that gem!
Oh, the situation is so dire in the UK at the moment but I almost choked with laughter at how you framed the Truss comment on more varieties of cheese than France! Now I know what the Tories use for brains! Excellent work, as always. Being from South Wales originally, I've a collection of friends and relatives this will be going to ... at least a few of which are elected representatives at various levels and none of whom are Tories, of course.
Thanks for passing it around Robert!
Bloody Brilliant! The UK desperately needs an Honest Government Ad —as do we all in this deteriorating world. I hope this is spread far-and-wide in the United King'dumb. And… "Gawd Save the Queen!" 😂
Cheers Mark!
