They’ve been putting up quite provocative ads in London past year. Comparing UK to third-world countries. Like literally putting up names. I mean they’re not wrong but you’re not gonna get any customers if you take a piss on their nationality you know. People don’t get to chose where they born.
Guess that logic won’t apply when you’re from world’s most privileged country.
Ps. Not gonna lie, even from an objective perspective this is an awful ad. Lazy and pretentious. Something would a 20yr angry kid would come up with this tbh.
But this ad doesn’t shit on anyone it just compares what countries are doing not so good in regards to privacy and what UK is going to become
They have a point, and I doubt they'd drive away their potential customer with this.
Maybe it makes people realize they can push back against the decisions of politicians, it's a democracy after all.
There is sth very wrong with this ad but not what you said. What is wrong is that in UK they pretend like they are champions against surveillance and fascism where as they go and fund right wing extremist parties in other countries because it is likely a part of their lobbying efforts. So for them both fascism and anti-fascism is a means to more revenue like companies that sucked upto Nazis in 1940s.
