Awful Propaganda Advert

Anyone seen this shockingly blatant Remain advert by

AncestryDNA.com

It's been repeatedly showing on Quest TV channel on Freeview and doubtless on other channels.

You can see it here on YT:

See if you can spot the glaring lie and mislead at the end.






Yep, the ad plays at the whole BrExit situation and does its best to make us feel part of the bigger European collective (which of course we already are!!) but then concludes with the statement:

"We may be leaving Europe
But Europe will never leave us"

How the hell did that blatant untruth get through advertising standards checks?!!

Britain IS NOT LEAVING EUROPE !

We are a part of the continent Europe and will remain a part of that continent.

What we are doing is leaving the EU, the European Union

The EU is a bunch of unelected power mad idiots whom the majority of voting UK citizens want no part of.

Do we believe that the people at AncestryDNA really don't know the difference between "Europe" and the "EU"?

Looks like blatant Remainer propaganda to me aimed to undermine democracy.

I have reported the ad to the Advertising Standards Authority and suggest others do too. You can make a complaint here:

Re: Awful Propaganda Advert

I couldn't agree more realist. A terrible advert and a good idea to complain.

Re: Awful Propaganda Advert

Well the more that do the better chance of getting it shut down

Re: Awful Propaganda Advert

They won't accept my complaint because I can't give the date and time I saw it!
Help!

Re: Awful Propaganda Advert

Nothing wrong with it. Hope it makes folks think.

Re: Awful Propaganda Advert

Well yes it made me think will they ever stop telling lies but I'm guessing that wasn't quite what you meant.

Re: Awful Propaganda Advert

Yes, I saw that advert and thought the same as Realist

At the least it is incorrect - and very much so
Britain was, is, and always will be a European country. We shall continue to have links & relations with other European countries, and they with us
But it is the European Union that we are leaving

At worst it is blatant Remainer propoganda
How did it get past the various checks and controls? My guess is that the ASA is also controlled by the London based elite

He's behind you!
Paranoid little people form an orderly queue.

Re: Awful Propaganda Advert

Was on Quest TV channel today at about 1pm to 1:15pm

Re: Awful Propaganda Advert

Thanks Realist.
But they want an awful lot of personal information in order to submit the complaint.
I'm not at all happy about that...
