• Video: Watch out for the Nightmare

  A more unofficial campaign video for Liberal Democrat candidate Brian Paddick. Very nicely put together, but ramping up the fear factor to eleven sadly. Judge for yourselves.

   

• Video: Project Sack Boris

  “Sacktivist” Dawn Foster explains why the Sack Boris team were out and about round London last night projecting images onto various London landmarks. Locations included City Hall, the Bank of England, the old County Hall, once proud seat of the GLC, and the Transport for London building in Victoria – […]

   

• 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.

  Labour launches London broadcast, see what you think; Now this is more like it. 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” […]
