Dad's Army - they don't like it up 'em - Chilean style

Dad's Army was a TV show about a gang of old codgers calling themselves The Walmington-On-Sea platoon of the Home Guard, set during the second world war, that I watched all the time as a kid. It was quaint and funny, considering the 'young uns' were dying a useless death on the battlefields of western Europe. A memorable line from Lance Corporal Jack Jones was, "They don't like it up 'em."



Well, that was a bit of the old, "They don't like it up 'em." Chilean style, "Leave Chile now, your global government will fail." truth to power, well orated.

And, almost predictably, an exclusive interview with the 17-years-old Chilean film-maker of the Rockefeller-greeting video Matías Rojas has appeared on Alex Jones's INFOWARS show.





And for those of you inspired by that sorta citizen video-journalism, remember that Tony Blair's back in the Iraq War Inquiry hotseat on Friday.
