How sad is this?

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It's one of the nastier piece of propaganda I seen in some time, it remands me how masters like Goebbels and Ceausescu works the masses. Maybe Mr.Cameron should take some history lessons. Personally, I don't subscribe to any of UKIP ideas, but let's not forget that conservative promise a referendum on EU if they win the elections! Hypocrisy? Independent, non partisan media is non existent for quite some time now , a side (intentionally) effect of globalization, and governments in EU, North America are perfectly happy. I just hope that this piece of caw manure propaganda will back fire on Mr.Cameron, and the British will see through the lies. ========= Three years later, sadly the British fall for UKIP scheme, and I think the referendum was the last page of the empire.

This is a mockumentary that portrays what would happen if an anti- immigration, anti-EU party would win the generals elections in the UK in 2015. The show is very good at showing what anti-immigration and anti-EU claims may actually lead to. Its content is certainly highly sensitive for the UK as the elections are coming.It has been criticised for using real footage of politicians, though I don't really find it reasonable because it is simply presenting an opinion on how the future would be. At no where, it claims to present any facts or anything and it would not be a mockumentary if it had such claims. It presents a good picture where people can see the larger effects of Brexit rather than just immigrants coming from other EU countries. It also portrays well how "cracking down on immigration" does not just mean immigrants from the EU but the whole world, although many people somehow naively believes (or presents it like) that UKIP will just single out European immigrants and does not make any difference on other immigrants. Of course visitors in the UK already realise how the visa processes even for short visits are becoming unnecessarily daunting. The mockumentary may have also emphasised the further troubles the long term students in the UK experience because of all the red tape of getting a visa and being a foreign student in the UK. Well that is what is happening now but since the subject of the film is the future they may portray the collapse of the UK's world famous education system as well. Hopefully, if the film does not face any censorship perhaps they can put it in the sequels.

If this was a mockumentary then the makers of this Channel 4 drama need to get tips from Christopher Guest. UKIP: The First 100 Days mixes archive footage of party leader Nigel Farage and other real UKIP members with fictional scenes played by actors in the aftermath of a UKIP general election victory.Although UKIP stand on an Anti European platform the programme concentrates on their anti immigration policies which surprise surprise does not affect Europeans but people who are black or brown. Mixed with this is that soon after the election, investment is pulled out as factories close down as they relocate elsewhere.The programme concentrates on an female Asian woman UKIP MP who is seen as a rising talent but suffers a crisis of conscience when she sees the divisive impact of UKIP's policies on immigration in action, such as Asian establishments being raided on a regular basis leading to riots. Even her own brother turns in opposition to her.The film is very much I expected going for the easy target of immigration without any satire. For example why not show scenes of an Indian restaurant being raided every week with the same waiters and chefs showing their UK passports only to repeat the process seven days later.The film also does not look at the chaos that would ensue as they negotiate a withdrawal from the EU (it was only touched on with a factory closing down) or even Scotland wishing to withdraw from the UK again. There was so much that could had been done and so little achieved.In fact the biggest joke was Neil Hamilton being portrayed as Deputy Prime Minister.
