Shame that youtube doesn't have the original
1992 NLP broadcast, that one was bonkers with poor old Doug
Henning jumping around and more smiley men in suits with
rainbows all over the place.
I operated the autocue for a couple of election
specials, great fun, it's a shame they (and some of the
other crazy no-hope UK parties) have quit politics. But
Maggie Thatcher thought that "frivolous" parties
like Monster Raving Loonies or the Giant Green Chicken party
were cheapening politics and put the cost of the deposit up
to drive them away. For me there was no better sight than
Tory and Labour politicians having to stand next to people
dressed like chickens or pantomime horses on election night
while the votes are read out. Punctured a few pompous
balloons.

Yeah I did watch
the video, all the way through. I had forgotten about
Geoffrey Clements - I remeber seeing him on tapes talking to
M way back when I was have "Evening Knowledge
program" at MIU.
What struck me about this piece was it being written by
someone who experienced it as a child - man, what a screwed
up way to grow up!

Did you watch the election video though, what a
classic! Who knew that the Skem TMers had reduced the
Mersyside crime rate by 60%? Nobody in Mersyside that's
for sure!
The
funny thing is I worked for them and I voted for someone
else! LOL.
But
they really thought they were going to win and it was an
amazing effort to get a political party together in just a
couple of weeks, even if it did just mean giving an intro
talk to people who aren't interested. Of course, after
it turned out they weren't going to be leading the
country the story changed to it being a good way of getting
the word out. And it was, I was manning the phones after
the
last election the NLP fought and was highly dubious that
any
member of the public would ring and ask for more info, but
ring they did and I spent ages explaining all the terms and
beliefs to them. Being evangelical isn't really my
thing
though and I wasn't very good at it, I think you need
to
really believe something to be a good teacher and I never
did think it was very credible.
As
I always say, you have to look at what this amazing
coherence and nature support has done for the TMO to
realise
it isn't the best model for understanding society and
human behaviour. I think it's a crock actually but
there
you are, we had fun while it lasted and I loved organising
press conferences even if no one ever turned up.
