Brexit, actually
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has produced a campaign video for the upcoming general election which parodies 'Love Actually'.
The scene is a callback to one of the most iconic moments of the Christmas rom com - when Andrew Lincoln's character professes his love for Keira Knightley's via placards.
You can watch the original below:
In the Conservative's three-minute video, Johnson presents a potential voter with placards with such messages as: "With any luck by next year... We'll have Brexit done... (If Parliament doesn't block it again)."
You can see it here:
What's more is Boris has been accused of copying a Labour candidate's campaign video. Dr Rosena Allin-Khan too released a 'Love Actually'-inspired video, emulating the same scene, in late November.
Soon after Johnson's video went live, she tweeted: "Boris Johnson has copied my #ElectionActually video. Tanks. On. The. Lawn.
"Don't share his version in outrage - instead, share my original version. It's us versus Cummings, Johnson, Trump and Farage."
Hard to debate it once you watch the video below:
I won't be retweeting it - but Boris Johnson has copied my #ElectionActually video.
Tanks. On. The. Lawn.
Don't share his version in outrage - instead, share my original version.
It's us versus Cummings, Johnson, Trump and Farage - retweet this and spread the word! pic.twitter.com/vuC26bWlcy— Dr Rosena Allin-Khan on BSky: DrRosena.BSky.Social (@DrRosena) December 9, 2019
The general election takes place this Friday 13th December. At least all this nonsense will be over then. For a while.
