Aptimilibanned

My spies around the Dudley supermarket on the 25th November 2010 tell me that the BBC made several boobs that night.  Fortunately for Labour, only one clip made it onto the BBC News - here are the others which now rest on the cutting-room floor.


Miliband arrives in a Hummer H3, the window rolls down & he shouts over the engine noise - "Isn't she a beaut... we always take the scenic route now!" (close up of Bull Bars and Hummer badge)

Miliband walks through the vegetables aisle and points out bananas - "We always buy those ones, they're much cheaper.  Did you know those Fairtrade farmers put a big hairy spider in every 100th bag of bananas, just to scare us?". (Shaky close-up of bags with Fairtrade label)

Miliband walks past the Beverage aisle - "Ah, we practically live on this stuff now" (grabs extra large jar of Nastle coffee).

Miliband walks past the Wine & Spirits aisle - "Well Churchill drank like a fish, so if it's good enough for him..." (grabs large bottle of AlkoPop)

Miliband walks past the cigarette counter - "Oh, I think these are marvellous when you have a tickly cough"  (purchases pack of green rizlas and an ounce of New Holborn, extra long close-up)

Shop Manager whispers to cameraman - "I don't think all of those will get past your boss, but it was a good effort, Cheers mate."


I first saw the story break on Lactivist, and you can still read the details there - although the link to the original News item is now out of date. It seems the clip wasn't captured & recorded anywhere else in the public domain.

Read more comment on this silly error here (scroll down for - Ed Miliband shouldn't have said it); or here (BBC shouldn't have broadcast it)...

Lactivist has published the bland reply received after her complaint to the BBC.  Not heard of any response from the Miliband/Labour Party?



(By the way, it's not true really. Of course, I'm having a joke at his expense.  But he did say that he used Apti*** 0-3 months, it was broadcast on the National news, and the camera did zoom in on the shelf full of tins.  No fuzzing out that time.)
