EVER FEEL THAT your choice of political party is like choosing between four boyband members you hate equally?
That’s the message from the UK’s Green Party who’ve released a campaign video mocking their rival party leaders.
Messers Cameron, Miliband, Clegg and Farage are shown singing from the same ballad sheet in the video complete with key changes and dance routines.
It’s so ridiculous it works.
It’s got people talking too. Job done.

I’m not sure which is funnier, brexit or Mrs Brown. . . Probably brexit.
I hope there’s a big improvement than the last one
And people say Brexit doesn’t have benefits.
Best news I’ve heard this year.
If Brexit means Mrs Brown’s Boys can’t be filmed I am 100% in favour of it
if the apocalypse means Mrs Brown Boys cant be filmed then id be in favour of it
It’s predictable, but quite funny after a glass or two.
That says it all really.
There is a god
That’s nice………
Forget this crap.The one to see in the next few weeks is Louis Theroux’s new film about Scientology.

Is it for TV?
He’s missed the boat a bit there.
Thank God. Every cloud has a silver lining.
Every Silver Cloud has a lining….
Tell that to the hundreds of people and small businesses who would have been employed or gotten work out of the making of this movie.
What? You mean all Brendan o carrols family members?
They are the actors.
What about the production company, the stage hands, the set builders, the lighting designers, the camera men, sound engineers, post production staff, etc.
I was about to have a dump but decided to leave it a bit because of Brexit
Brexit is becoming the new “Dog ate my homework”.
No, it’s not.
That’s a powerful and sophisticated counter-argument!
Brexit will cause many problems
Thank goodness for small mercies
Every cloud….
LMAO it’s the Jedward effect again. Everyone claiming they hated it, yet SOMEONE made sure it topped the Irish and UK box offices…
85% of our poultry products, 65% of our cheese/dairy products – and 50% of our beef, is bought by the UK. Of course, their exit from the EU will affect us.
Of course, they’ll suddenly stop eating chicken, beef, and dairy products
No but it’s not outside the bounds of possibility that they’ll start sourcing a lot more of their food from cheaper places like Brazil and Thailand with lower animal welfare standards with which we cannot compete. Not to mention new Zealand lamb expect to see a lot more of that on supermarket shelves over there in a few years. The pull of the commenwealth and all that. There’s a gimlet eyed , hard headed, tory strain firmly in the ascendency in England now. Despite the plamassing and guff out of Boris Johnson and Nigel farage in the Brexit campaign , ireland and neighbourliness counts for little in their world. Expect real consequences for irelands farming community from Brexit. We need not to be putting to many of our eggs in that basket and seek out new markets urgently.
No Larissa – just maybe a lot of our products…
A cursory walk around any supermarket in Ireland will demonstrate just how much food including pre-packed meat, poultry and dairy products we import from the UK, especially Northern Ireland. Ireland is already working to exploiting EU markets currently served by UK suppliers. Irish products at home will be more competitively priced that the non-European British products. Sounds like a win-win for Ireland from me.
But we export more TO the UK, by a long shot. Food imports we really don’t need.
Dotrice, much of the economic kerfuffle following Brexit has been down to bitter pro-Remain politicians and media types joining in a noisy chorus of “BRITAIN’S SH*T”, irresponsibly trash-talking their country and inspiring negative sentiment in the markets. Small/medium business owners meanwhile have actually tried to move on as normal because unlike the cringe brigade they actually have livelihoods at stake if Brexit fails. I’m saying this as a Remain voter – yes, I was disappointed in the result; no, there’s absolutely no point in throwing a tantrum over it. It’s done, better to move forward instead of making a self-fulfilling prophecy.
We are an extremely important market destination for UK products too.
For example, the UK exports €14 billion to our Republic; €18.9 billion to France; €7.9 billion to Spain; €8.2 billion to Italy.
Ireland imports more from the UK than the UK exports to Russia, Brazil, India and China combined. Britain’s access to European markets is up for negotiation, we have a guaranteed market of 440 million Europeans.
I certainly know what side of the Irish Sea I’d rather be selling from.

Brexit won’t affect us. Tell that to Bank of Ireland and AIB – as well…
I think they were in trouble for a long time before Brexit?
She and everything about “her” is very unfunny.
Use to be funny, they they went all funny for the gay marriage referendum and since then more vile language since?
The shows that are recorded live are hilarious, thought the movie was all right. The live show a few weeks back was a disaster , they didn’t know what they wanted to do I’d say, had a few laughs but disappointing really.
If you get to go to a recording of one it would be a great laugh. I don’t mean the live ones, I mean the ones that are being recorded to be aired at a later date.
Is there anywhere to watch the live special?
Not a fan of Mrs Browne but the live special did have very funny parts. I’m staggered by the amount of haters on here about an extremely successful Irish story. I didn’t go to see the last Mrs Browne film and I won’t go to the next one but I wish them well.
A film that people weren’t going to watch anyway has been delayed, and it’s the best news to them? Weird logic.
I enjoy the shows .. makes me laugh but I thought the movie was really bad …
Haven’t seen any of the shows and I won’t either, but from what I’ve heard they have been popular, so to each their own.
Found it, if anyone is interested https://youtu.be/erVqSQ9Ojj0
Love the TV show to bits but the movie was terrible , hope this one is better
Make the movie in Ireland! They make it in Scotland. Come home and support the Irish Film industry
I love Mrs. Brown’s Boys. But it just didn’t translate to d’big screen. So perhaps this is a good thing.
Now this is a reason enough to cancel brexit!!! :o
Aw bummer. That’s really sad that the sequel to Mrs. Brown’s Boys won’t be made.
/sarcasm
Every cloud
Hay if the Irish Film Board are making it then how can it cost more to make when the pound has gone down in value unless the Irish Film Board is working out of Britain now???
Mrs Brown looses pounds, must be a film about a diet? A Turexit film? ;)
have your say
