Ministry of Truth

Dom Joly takes on MPs and Ministers in this hilarious, highly irreverent exposé of our politicians grasp of honesty, transparency and accountability.
　　First broadcast last year on the BBC it was heavily cut and the DVD includes some of the most incendiary clips the BBC was too scared to show.
　　At present, there's no law in the UK that makes it an offence for MPs to deceive the electorate. Worse than that – there's no way of removing a sitting MP, who can pretty much do what they like until the next general election rolls around. The Ministry of Truth is part film, part deadly serious campaign.
　　Incredibly, the film resulted in the extraordinary /revolutionary “Elected Representatives - Prohibition of Deception Bill” (making it illegal for politicians to deceive the public) being introduced into Parliament. As this goes to press a fast-growing group of MPs are pledging their support - this could be the first film to change a constitution!
