A Prime Ministerial Broadcast by Tom Harris
Needless to say I deprecate the core message of this video, but it is very funny and you need to read between the lines, especially towards the end. I particularly like the appearance right at the end by Tom's long suffering wife, Carolyn.
You're right Iain - it's very funny and has a likeability that has been so badly missing from the Labour campaign. I do remember how I felt in 1979 and it was nothing like as depicted in this video! I felt encouraged and hopeful that at last we could begin to clean up the mess left by a Labour Government that had bankrupted the country. I'm looking forward to feeling the same way tomorrow.
Top quality! Tom Harris - you are high up in the pantheon of Labour Good Guys and Girls alongside Frank Field, Kate Hoey and Bob Double-Barrel Marshall Andrews. Well played...
Excellent!

ReplyDeleteIt's a terrific video made by a true gent.
ReplyDeleteOne of the good guys....
If only Tom had been leader of the Labour party. At least he has a sense of humour...
ReplyDeleteThe guy's got style - a lot of the "humour" chucked out by our "politicians" is as depressing as it is unfunny.
ReplyDeleteNice to know he's got talent.
ReplyDeleteIts a shame it isn't recognizing the spectacular damage Gordon Brown has done to the country,
Very funny. Disagree with his politics but he's one Labour PPC that I won't be mad at when he's re-elected.

ReplyDeleteI remember how I felt in 1979 too - I left England not to return for a decade! No child of Thatcherm me...
ReplyDeleteVery funny video...
Very well done video.
ReplyDeleteHis daughter's very pretty!
(Only joking, Tom)
The video is a decent one, reflects the man.
ReplyDeleteJohn Smith was a decent man too - Labour lost such a lot when he died.
His wife is sexy
ReplyDeleteVery enjoyable, and yes I remember what I felt like in 1979 as a trainee chartered accountant living in a squalid flat in Catford...complete elation.
