HSBC UK Global Citizen TV ad

[ninny]

Has anyone else noticed that banks always put up ads up like these now, rarely anything to do with actual banking and everything to do with globalism in one form or another

[nikkimitchable]

that moment when bankers want more immigrants and less borders. lol. lmao, even.

We're not a halfway house for the globe - we're an actual place where people have lived for tens of thousands of years and it is our HOME that WE built and which belongs to US - not the 'globe'. We are NOT a 'global' country, we are Anglos, Saxxons. Nords, Celts, Romans and Scandinavians - all EUROPEAN people who have UNIQUE NATIONS that are linked by GENES, history, culture and values. Each nation is UNIQUE and DIFFERENT and SEPARATE - that's what BORDERS are for and the artificial EU is NOT Europe or European - its a corporation that seeks to ruin the very thing it professes to strengthen. Your ad is an attempt to 'un-nation' us and we're on to your treachery.

So glad the people see through this propaganda 🇬🇧🙏

We are an island I think being surrounded by water gives it away

[cocojeffrey]

No knowledge of culture...coffee came from Ethiopia. The fact that a product is made somewhere doesn't make it 'of that culture'. This is seriously dumbing down people and plainly shows how clueless the corporate class (including Ayoade their darling).

[Cartamandua]

A nation is so much more than an economy.

[godricktheminecrafted]

you know, I'm starting to think Richard Ayoade wasn't acting when he played as moss in the IT crowd

[commonsense]

'We are not an island' - think someone needs to get out to the coast a bit more . And HSBC expect people to have confidence in how they handle our money !

[aaronbuffalo]

we just voted for the third time to say that WE ARE an island. Looks like i will be taking my business elsewhere.

Yes! The material goods etc are what defines a country, not the people living there, or that have been living here for hundreds of years.

Moving my savings and investments out of HSBC.

[TheDaneist]

In the news today, HSBC signals massive job cuts as profits plunge. Me thinking of this advert, I wonder why... 17 million fuck-offs 😂👋🏻

Edit - perhaps one of the most succinct examples of go woke get broke.

Appreciating foreign cultures is one thing, but abandoning national identity and traditional British customs - in favour of an internationalist slurry - is quite another. Variety is the spice of life: best applied to something hearty and substantial in moderation, else it becomes revolting and indigestible.
Playing sweeping patriotic music, while also subtly criticising nationalist sentiment, is deeply distasteful.

[friendlysperg]

All this ad does is show how dependant on global capitalism we are.

Makes me even more nationalistic, ironic considering the ad seeks to make you appericatiate globalism.

[hoonaignachowaneha]

Interesting ad for the bank who notoriously launders cartel and terror money.

[jac]

They can give it a rest now that we are leaving the EU.

[SeaJayBelfast]

Sell your culture, give us your money.

[steveforest]

Remember the good old days when we had the Midland Bank? A good old-fashioned, honest, reliable British bank.

And do you now what all these products we have in our beautiful land called England only happen Cos our great brave young amazing soldiers gave their life’s so that these countries could sell their products to us you didn’t mention that in the advert yes we are an Island and Europe is Europe Cos British and English soldiers sacrificed all their life’s for them . It’s a shame the French and the rest of Europe didn’t put up a fight against the Nazis like England and Britain did . Maybe you should mention that in the advert .
But typically as always everyone is jealous of England and Britain . If it wasn’t for Britain Europe would be under Nazi rule . You talk about the heroes of other countries, Maybe you should mention the heroes of England and Great Britain, you know all the young men who died for you all of you you ungrateful person.
Long live my beautiful land
Long live my beautiful history
Long live my beautiful heritage
Long live my beautiful culture
Long my my beautiful land called England
