The guy looks and sounds like an American estimation of a British lower-class person, while the police officer (wearing what can only be described as a blue overall with a black belt) sounds like Ricky Gervais.

Henry Williamson, author of Tarka the Otter
was a Nazi sympathiser, and joined Mosley's British Union of Fascists. It was rumoured that he used to stomp around in cornfields making huge arrows pointing towards RAF Chivenor in North Devon hoping to aid German bombers looking for the airfield.

The man levels his shotgun at a Smoke Detector lying in the well-trimmed lawn before the cottage.

As a parody of just about every tedious, dull-as-dogshit real-life show on telly, it pretty much nails it.
As such, I think there is humour within. That humour being the thing that makes you cry with depression at the fucking state of what passes as entertainment on the shitpump these days.
I accidentally pushed the wrong button the remote last night and was subjected to a few seconds of The Illusionists on ITV. I nearly died. One bloke was going to do a Houdini trick (being drowned, basically) and the presenter ACTUALLY say "who better to check that these handcuffs are real than Bonnie Langford!??" I could think of at least 4 people.

My mum bought us a telly a month ago in the mistaken belief that we actually wanted one.
Seeing as we have no intention of paying for cable, we bought a Hulu subscription, and plug a tablet into it. It works well, because you have to plan what you want to watch, and there is not the option of just switching on the telly and channel surfing. In short, we watch about an hour a night, and it's always something we want to watch.

Shane Meadows: thoroughly lovely man.
I made this!
This might be of limited interest, but if you like Shane Meadows, then you might like this. I've been running a tiny fortnightly film club- The Beestonian Film Club at Cafe Roya - above a restaurant in Beeston, a few miles outside Nottingham. Usually just showing shorts and work from local directors to around 30 people paying a few quid to see some arty shorts and get a meal for just a few quid, it ticks along quietly. However, I got a call over the Autumn, with a gruff voiced bloke reckoning he was Shane Meadows asking if he could come along. I assumed it was a piss-take, but no, he really was Shane, and fancied showing a load of shorts never shown in public before. So we arranged an evening,drew up a programme, and I managed to badger the former film editor of Q Magazine, and Guardian reviewer, Ali Catterall to come up north, sleep on my sofa, and do a Q+A with the amazing director man. He agreed, and this is the result, one of the weirdest nights of my life. We also raised a chunk of money for Oxfam, and even had a guest star: the Broadchurch-tastic Vicky McClure came along too. We're looking at getting Speilberg and that Michael Bay along for 2014...

They call that shit "Chernobyl" in my local. Disastrous stuff.
Rather drink that than Strongbow and all that fruit cider pish though.
For the first few minutes in the OP, I thought it was going to be a joke vid. Then I remembered the waifs and strays that I used to serve when I worked in my local. Could have made a decent/depressing film out of them too.

I think there are pros and cons to this kind of place.
On the plus side, everyone knows everyone else and if someone doesn't turn up for a day's boozing, the others will probably ring his house or even send someone round to make sure nothing's the matter.
On the downside, they all look like they've wandered off the set of The Hills Have Eyes.

Each picture represents a word that begins with the corresponding letter of the alphabet
Some are easy, for example B is Batman, C is Cat some however like E and F are not so easy. They are in order A to Z. The first is a sword but represents a word or words starting with A. Does that make more sense? Probably not. Either way I found it enjoyable and thought I would share.

which can't exactly help with the self esteem issues mentioned.
I wonder if the "nothing to live for" is a side-effect of the way people usually define themselves by what they do for work, which no longer makes sense now that people rarely work in what they are most qualified for, want to do, or even doing work which needs to be done.

Celebrating what people add to society
would be the alternative. Make that the status symbol.
At the moment, we don't even celebrate work, we celebrate wealth and in doing so encourage greed rather than kindness or skill. Work done well rarely pays financially, and neither does kindness.
"What do you do in your spare time" is always a far more revealing question than "What do you do for a living".

People LIKE what they do for work.
Most people I know in building/manufacturing/seafaring trades will have the "proud" moment when they have poured the perfect concrete or something that nobody will ever notice.
Not everybody can work in an office. And even if they could, they are happier welding in a snowstorm than bonking Jane from accounting over the copier in warm office..
Education should value more manual labour and get kids to study it without having the "Dumbarse" label stuck on.
The only "real" millionaires I know are plumbers, builders or electricians.

Not really
Christianity only really rewards people for being Christian. Someone amazing gets the same reward as someone awful who apologised, and I don't think it says anything about useful work being better than work-for-works sake.
Science should allow us to have more and work less, if capitalism wasn't so full of holes.

Well it does not
No operative with a brain would use internet, emails or the phone to pass information.
It would be akin to Osama bin Laden asking the CIA to give a letter to Ayman al-Zawahiri and "promising not read it". And hoping they would not put a 1000 pound bunker buster from a B2 through each letter box.
So , normally it's disposable couriers with heavily encrypted USB sticks...
So you need people on the ground doing human intelligence, not dorks reading emails to your mom. And then not bloody ignoring said intelligence.
The only notable exception is money, following transfers and a accounts. But banks are in noooooo way linked to making money off drug cartel and worse. And they are also the only ones with the funds to be able with NSA toe to toe.
So, if NSA and it's peers are hoarding all this info that is useless against terrorism, why is it being hoarded? I can only see economic reasons, not safety.

that all depends on what type of encryption you are using
we are pioneering a new identity based cryptographic algorithm with a tonne of extra security features. Like distributed key servers, no one server knows the master key and it's never stored on disk, you would have to hack 3 individual servers and dump the memory from all of them then try and work out how to combine the parts. Even then the parts only make a valid key when combined by the user, in their browser using true end to end 2 factor authentication.
Security online is more that possible, it's big companies and the government that are fucking it up for everyone else. Microsofts phone factor acquisition is a joke, it took me half an hour to get a code sent to my phone and it's not even true 2 factor. That could easily be intercepted.
Edit: It's hard times in the security industry unless you are google, then you just make some stupid gimmick like face recognition to unlock your phone, everyone buys it, even though it sucks.

Even if you can't read the message
you know where it came from and where it'ss going.
And there's an app to load that into a Predator's Hellfire.
Even with "crackable" 128 encryption, if you layer it, like 3 deep, good luck breaking it before our first space ship gets to Proxima Centauri.
So, the only ones getting hit are normal people working for normal companies.
Edit; you are right about Microsoft... Back in 2009ish, I thought that with my 15 letter password my PC was safe.
So I got into an argument with our resident hacker/IT dude over lunch.
We got back to the office, he stuck a hard drive in as a master, and booted it in DOS (!), rummaged around a bit, found the file, copied it, removed hard drive.
Done. 5 minutes. He then beat windows encryption in less than 5 minutes with a little program he had written because he was "fucking tired of salespeople losing their passwords".
A few months later, we had our own tailor made encryption...
The passwords were stuff you could remember but long. Like: "My mum has a 350z with a blower and a lift"... Made up stuff, the longer the funnier the better, but never "real" stuff. My mum does not have a 350z. Etc.
Made me respect our IT dudes more.

you know where it came from and where it'ss going.
And there's an app to load that into a Predator's Hellfire.
Even with "crackable" 128 encryption, if you layer it, like 3 deep, good luck breaking it before our first space ship gets to Proxima Centauri.
So, the only ones getting hit are normal people working for normal companies.
Edit; you are right about Microsoft... Back in 2009ish, I thought that with my 15 letter password my PC was safe.
So I got into an argument with our resident hacker/IT dude over lunch.
We got back to the office, he stuck a hard drive in as a master, and booted it in DOS (!), rummaged around a bit, found the file, copied it, removed hard drive.

Sounds totally reasonable.
Although why he used a harddrive rather than a bootable USB drive (I've got one on my key ring forexactly this purpose totally unrelated reasons) perhaps with a nice linux/dos boot choice menu, I have no idea.

This was with Windows 2000
I think they used bootable USB with XP onwards.
But I could be wrong.

hahaha thats how most genius things are made
People having enough with stupid people.
i like affirming statements as they serve 2 purposes, subliminal and passphrase complexity. Like "I'm at my happiest when sober". Which is a lie but still lol.

Becuase the information is very useful to catch low level crime
The assumption being is that "everyone is at it", so collect everything and eventually everyone will prove themselves guilty of a small infraction and you already have the proof to hand.

Then target low level criminals
Not the whole bloody country.
The cops have a good idea who they are.
Spend the freed up resources to hire more real coppers to actually walk these mean streets.

This is going to sound horribly leftie but the police think everyone is a criminal
With the possible exception of a minority of other cops.

But everyone IS a criminal
I have never met anyone who hasn't done something illegal/immoral in their lives, but 99% of these misdemeanors are not a problem.
Why do we fine people for spitting when we allow cats to crap everywhere and anywhere they want to?
The more people are surveiled the more people are criminalised for nothing

It's about "profiling"
Already people are being prosecuted for fitting the "profile" of an offender even though they havent done anything.
The more info they have on people, the more people they can fit into their "profiles" and spy on/prosecute.

Well, someone's got to catch the stupid terrorists, too.
But I think your last point is in line with what Eddie Snowy was telling people, that the surveillance is mostly for economic purposes. Just like pretty much everything else then.

Me too
Any objections I might have had to CCTV ended when the faces of the failed London bombers were all over the media within hours of their escape.
The level of fiendish mastermind that we're talking about is of the calibre of the criminal genius who crashed a car into Glasgow Airport terminal building and then set fire to himself. Or the two eggheads who killed a soldier and then hung about for the police to show up. They're properly rubbish. And I doubt they have the intelligence to use elaborate covert communication methods.

I totally agree with CCTV
Or targeted surveillance.
I object to STASI like dragnet approach.
It's a massive waste of money, resources at the cost of our liberty.
I only object to some aspects, not to everything.

In the unlikely event that some spook is poring over my emails. The only emotion I would feel would be compassion. The poor fucker would be bored shitless.

My company was on the receiving end of "attention" a few years back...
And it made me re-evaluate my position. It was not fun at all.
But if your work does not include proprietary info, then why care?
