Tomorrow, December 12, is election day in the UK, and at this point tomorrow is only a few hours away. There is a lot riding on this election, starting of course with Brexit. Today’s featured quote is from the last pre-election advertisement broadcast by the Conservative party. It premiered December 9 and is now available on YouTube.
The ad is a parody of the 2003 film “Love Actually,” one of the great romantic comedies. In the ad, the prime minister and conservative candidate
Boris Johnson
rings a voter’s doorbell and, with Silent Night playing from a boombox, proceeds to show her a series of large cue cards.
“The other guy could win”
is the message on one of the cards. Another reads:
“We only need nine more seats to get a majority.”
The lines Boris speaks to the camera as he is walking away from the house are today’s featured quote:
“Enough. Enough. Let’s get this done,”
with the “this” clearly a reference to Brexit.
