We agreed that between ten and twenty per cent of the advertising we see is taxpayer funded here, there was a wonderful juxtaposition during an ad break on Sky News yesterday.
The first adverts was about how easy it is to get an NHS Quit Kit (to help you stop smoking); the next one was for NiQuitin; then there was one asking people to donate £20 to the WWF in order to help save a tree (with Sky generously offering to 'match' viewers' contributions) and prevent 'the catastrophic effects of climate change'; and the advertising break rounded off with an advert for Qatar Airways flights from Hong Kong.
Sort of puts it all into perspective, really.

Did n't know the World Wrestling Federation had a mission to save trees.
Local radio is a joke at the moment. Tax payer funded ad after tax payer funded ad.
Actually, my gob was smacked this very afternoon when up popped a promotional tv advert for Humberside Police.
Leaving aside my continual annoyance of seeing Yorkshire/Humberside related items in my region; I'm somewhat shocked to see the Fuzz join the propaganda game.
