• Video: What a waste (of a Mayoralty)

  A nice little campaign video from Sack Boris, the unaffiliated anti-Johnson group. A toe tapper, if a little focused on the negative.

   

• Primrose Hill Blur Inscription Preservation Society

  Lovely little video with a sad end, all Blur fans will appreciate. (h/t Richard Osley)

   

• Video: The Conservative Election Broadcast

  The election broadcast for the Conservative Party. Watch it and judge for yourself.   What are we  to make of this? Sad music, gazing wistfully out of a train window… I was wondering whether this might turn into a tampon advert. Curiously it is slightly downbeat rather than inspirational, although in […]

   

• Tempa T: Why do bankers get paid so much?

  Tempa T is continuing his fictional run for London Mayor, this time he talks about bankers. Contains the immortal lines “I love a bit of capitalism as much as the next man, but the divide between rich and poor is *immense*!”

Distinctly London, distinctly real and with a strong underlying theme that suggests that Londoners aren’t just better off with Labour, but are naturally Labour supporters. The switcheroo at the beginning changing from a “boring” talking head by […]

   

• London Liberal Democrats launch campaign

  The Liberal Democrats have released this launch video. I was trying to place what this video reminded me of and then it came to me. A corporate video. Souless music, odd lighting and fake enthusiasm. Although without it we would not have had the comedy gold of the “nodding man” […]

   

• Video: Eddie Izzard on Ken’s Fare Deal

  Long term Labour supporter Eddie Izzard explains why he thinks you should be backing Livingstone at this election. Focusing on fares, again, it’s certainly Labour’s strongest theme for the election and they’d do well to keep at it. The fly on the wall filming style works rather well here, I […]

   

• Video: Ealing to Angel in 3 Minutes (VespaCam)

  A bit of footage of rush hour traffic from the front of a Vespa. Neat.
