100% agree.

Was in Cineworld over the weekend and this ad really annoyed me.

Whats the point?

What is this EU thingy doing for me? Wasting money Ive paid in taxes on stupid Ads such as this, that's what.

People who don't know what the EU is don't deserve to know.

Leave them in their ignorance and spend the money on something useful.

It has to be the most patronising, condescending sh!te I've ever ever seen. Just horrible!!

They talk to the audience like they are dunces. We don't give a flying fcuk what this EU "thingy" (who uses that word???!!) is doing for us

I can't stand those poxy bloody ads. I was in the cinema last Saturday and low and behold it was played. TWICE. And it's talking about armchair regulation in the ad? FFS, the goverment even makes a balls of its own propaganda now.

oh my god these ad's drive me insane...when I saw the in the cinema i assumed they were aimed at school leaving age people (which is still bad enough) but a few days ago I was coming out of the IFSC and they had a tv camera in a booth which you could go into and state any question you had...this was just outside the IFSC so they are obvisouly targetting this to working adults...how moronic do they think we are that they need to talk down to us about an issue that most people have a failry good working knowledge of.

When the guy inviting people to use the camera came over to me in his "European Union thingy" t-shirt I had to suppress every urge to verbally assaul him...not his fault though i guess so I held back
