The BBC's iPlayer service throws up some real treats from time to time - things that you wouldn't normally have come across by channel hopping.

Like the BNP's Party Election Broadcast. Watch it, it's hilarious:

Party Election Broadcasts are usually fairly cringe-worthy, but this one is just staggeringly awful. I'm not talking about the preposterous claims it makes, like "we'll build you a strong local economy" (how, pray tell?), "we'll put you and yours at the front of the queue for housing" (really? the BNP can break the laws of logic?), or "with lower council tax, you'll have more cash to spend" (technically true, of course, but given that councils have precious little control over tax as it is, never mind the fact that the only council with more than six BNP councillors is Barking & Dagenham where they hold fewer than a quarter of the seats, it's just a tad disingenuous to suggest that a BNP vote means lower taxes).

Nor would I dare poke fun at the gormless, orange, nicotine-wrinkled actors or the suggestion that having a nice day out at the seaside is the very pinnacle of human ambition; that would just be snobbish. It would be equally mean to remind you that Richard Barnbrook is the chap who made that film where men fondle and whip each other. (The party's election manifesto describes homosexuality as "wrong and unhealthy".)
