A party political broadcast... | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
..on behalf of The Conservative Party. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
A sentence guaranteed to get you reaching for the remote. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:19 | |
Or escaping to the kitchen to brew a quick cuppa. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
Because what normally happens... | 0:00:22 | 0:00:23 | |
is a man in a dark suit... | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
sitting behind a desk... | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
or standing behind a lectern... | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
or walking purposefully down an average-looking street... | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
reads a message off an Autocue... | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
that says the Opposition party's wrong about this... | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
or the Opposition leader doesn't have a clue about that. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:42 | |
To make our point, we might have a graph that goes this way. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
Or we might have one that goes the other way. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
-And we'll show clips of... -real people... -in the street... | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
-to show that everyone... -agrees with us. -Even builders. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
But what does doing all that actually achieve? | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
Sure, we might convince a few people that we're right... | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
and the Opposition are wrong. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:04 | |
But you know, some things are more important than that. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
Things like death, famine... | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
and one of the biggest humanitarian crises in a generation. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
East Africa is experiencing its worst drought in 60 years. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
More than 12 million people in Ethiopia, Kenya... | 0:01:17 | 0:01:22 | |
Somalia and South Sudan... | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
are in desperate need of food, water and emergency healthcare. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
They've lost their crops, their livestock and their homes. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
They're being forced to take shelter in refugee camps... | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
bigger than cities like Cardiff and Leicester. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
Every six minutes, a child dies of starvation. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
Every SIX minutes. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
Every six minutes. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
Every six minutes. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
Urgent action is needed to prevent even more people dying. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
The British Government has given over £120 million of aid, | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
which will provide emergency assistance | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
to more than 3 million people. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
But far more is needed. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
Everyone in this party political broadcast... | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
has made a donation to the East Africa Appeal. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
And they're not the only ones. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
Hundreds of thousands of people across Britain have given generously | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
to the East Africa Appeal. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
And their donations have allowed charities to provide effective aid | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
to many in the region. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:22 | |
But more resources are still needed. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
More resources to provide vital food, water and medical supplies | 0:02:25 | 0:02:30 | |
to the millions of people affected by this devastating drought. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:35 | |
So, please, go online and support the East Africa Appeal today. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:40 | |
The people of East Africa desperately need your help. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 |
