Don’t Buy It! Shopping Channel
Posted by Marc | 6-07-2011 22:30 | Category: Government, War & conflicts
Don’t Buy It is a new campaign, launched last month, against the renewing of the nuclear weapons system in the UK.
It centres around three short films. Renewing is serious business. It isn’t the same as buying from a shopping channel, a colporteur or a market trader.
In the UK it is about £90 billion for a full replacement for Trident, the current weapon system.
Don’t Buy It: “The UK is living with its deepest debt since the end of the World War 2, and barely has enough money to maintain essential services, let alone buy a full replacement for Trident. As well as being expensive, Trident does nothing to tackle real 21st century challenges such as climate change, food scarcity and energy depletion, and actually exposes us to a host of new risks. With no reason to want it and no money to pay for it, the answer regarding Trident renewal is simple - Don’t Buy It.”
All films produced by Wired Video.
The video above reminds me of this video from the Protect the Human campaign from Amnesty International. A campaign from 2006 with also a shopping channel.
See the ‘market trader’ and the ‘colporteur’ after the break.
