El Cid Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Have you heard the radio ads? When I first heard them, I thought they were just pushing the living wage, they give 10 seconds of information, and then its just a plug for the Conservative policy, and they spent almost £5 million on the ad campaign. Have you seen/heard the ads? http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/tories-blow-495-million-public-7388723#ICID=sharebar_facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bloke Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Government department spends taxpayer money raising awareness of new minimum wage law shocker. £5 million is pretty cheap for a national campaign across television, radio and printed media. That whole article in the Mirror is about the Lib Dems 'might' make a complaint to the Electoral Commission, even though it's already been cleared. Total non story.

ECCOnoob Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Did the Daily Mirror kick off about how much Labour spent on all those self congratulatory Tax Credit advert campaigns? How about the AimHigher funding ad campaigns? The Climate Change ones? People in glass houses and all that..... I agree its a complete non story. Typical daily mirror. Don't know why they don't just merge with the Morning Star and get on with it. Edited February 21, 2016 by ECCOnoob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that the ad was propaganda before I saw the story in the Mirror; just because Labour did the same, doesn't make it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I thought that the ad was propaganda before I saw the story in the Mirror; just because Labour did the same, doesn't make it right. So how do people entitled to the living wage know they are entitled to the living wage? It's public information, just like the stupid pension adverts.

dvp82 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Tory propaganda, really. The OP must be watching a totally different ad to the one I've been seeing on TV.

I guess I think about different things, compared to most folk An advert featuring a man strutting down a street in hotpants and high heels received the most complaints in 2015, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has revealed.
