BBC block anti-Brown Election Film

April 30, 2010 - PRLog -- Sheffield Central believes Britain has given Labour 13 years and Gordon Brown 5 years of that to make good on their 1997 promises and they have failed spectacularly.  

They believe bad ideology has been legislated at the expense of  good ideas.

Their film is entitled "Let's take back Britain on May 6th".

BBC websites have not accepted any input on behalf of this film although SKY News has in its constituency twitter feed.  


Sheffield Central say Labour has bankrupted the economy, taken the British into two unpopular wars, and given away our rights to Europe. Brown was elected by a small constituency in Scotland, NOT by the British people. Ignoring Labour's promise of a referendum, he arrogated our rights by signing the European treaty.  

Sheffield Central say Brown made the British public's mind up for them.  "He knows best," is his smug belief.  

When a 66 year old widow, Gillian Duffy, a pensioner, female voter, and Labour-supporter who he chose to visit in her home, voices her opinion about being overwhelmed by people from another part of Europe, he dismisses her concerns.  Later he "privately" reveals his true thinking at the time of the meeting by voicing a smug put down.  Just as he smugly signed away her EU rights.

Author C.J. Beck believes the British public have the right to see the film and make their own mind up.  It reminds him of the theme in his popular political-thriller SPIKED (Xlibris 2002) ISBN 1-4010-4030-6.  The book is also somewhat prescient in that it imagines an unelected Prime Minister resembling Gordon Brown seeking election for the first time.  It even forecasts the result.  A film trailer for SPIKED will appear in May 2010.

           "The BBC should not make up the British public's mind for them, although they do appear to have got into the habit," says C.J. Beck.  



Beck went on to opine that Brown's "airy-fairy left-wing ideology and years of comfort and privilege" have conditioned his mind-set and  isolated him from the very people he seeks to represent.  By dismissing Gillian Duffy's concerns by labeling her as a "bigoted woman" he has proved it.  "That's New Labour.  Gravy train Labour.   And Brown was talking to a Labour supporter."

Gravy train?  According to The Daily Telegraph, back in October 13, 2009, Brown owed £12,500  for  over-claiming expenses for gardening and cleaning.  The front page lead story alleges he claimed his decorating bill twice!  A dumb mistake or worse?  Either way, not the kind of mistake one expects from a former Chancellor (Finance Minister) and current Prime Minister.

Sheffield Central believes the only way to ensure Labour and Brown are gone is to vote the main opponent in our individual constituencies. They say we can't afford to split the vote and "We need a clear winner to oust Brown and Labour. Let's take Britain back - Conservatives and Liberal Democrats together."

The main contender in Sheffield Central is the Liberal Democrat Leader of the City Council, Paul Scriven.  Paul Blomfield is Richard Caborn's heir for this Labour seat.

Sheffield Central's message?  "On May 6th, at the British General Election, British politics will change forever, when we fire Gordon Brown and hire Nick Clegg and David Cameron."


Sheffield Central claim that talking heads like Jeremy Paxman, Andrew Marr, and John Humphries will have to work extra hard over the next few days on the BBC, Question Time and Radio 4.  Perhaps they'll relent, decide to add some balance and pick up the Sheffield Central film.  

More pundits will fill the pages with articles in Paul Dacre's Daily Mail, The Daily Telegraph, The Times,The Guardian and even the Sun.  


C.J. Beck is author of the political-thriller SPIKED and launched last Autumn his new satirical novel SIXTEEN STORIES, NO PETS (YouWriteOn 2009 ISBN 978-1-84923-892-2) at the Hallam University Sheffield bookseller Blackwells.

Beck believes that Sheffield Central's message is more anti-political than anti-Labour.  It promotes voting for either one of the other two leading parties as the antidote to 13 years of mistakes.  Without proportional representation or a separate election for the office of Prime Minister, (perhaps Nick Clegg might win in that fantasy), Beck believes the Sheffield Central film reveals a sound voting strategy for people who want real change.

Beck says  "If enough people vote for the main contender in their constituency May 6th, it'll knock out Brown and help Britain back on its feet.  Long term, we could be back punching well above our weight on the world stage."  

Here's the film.  You be the judge.
