David Cameron Spoof YouTube Video 12 October ,2006 at 07:09:19 AM
MP Sion Simon's Spoof David Cameron video on YouTube is a great example of how not to use technology to get a political message across, even if it is so-called "satire", it is offensive nonetheless (but it did get 16,000 views within a couple of days!). Despite his defence of the video (rather rudely on Sky and the BBC, the Rt Hon Sion Simon had to apologise the next day (as is often the case with these things).
Sion Simon's offer to remove the video if requested to do so by David Cameron himself actually doesn't mean anything and shows lack of knowledge abou the community, as now people have simply made copies of the original with their digital camera or mobile phone and uploaded those to the site, here is one for example (and another one can be found here). Here is the opening piece of the authentic Web Cameron video on YouTube.
A much better use of technology to discuss politics comes in the form of the Political blogs. The Political Editor of the BBC - Nick Robinson has a decent blog with insights there that he never mentions on TV (or doesn't get the chance to), other good ones include Conservative Home (please note Labour Home coming soon).
