At the time when Ed Miliband was labour leader there was a meme going around liking him to Wallace of 'Wallace and Gromit'. Now given that we have proof Ed isn't all what he seems, was his looks in the run-up to him becoming opposition leader actually modelled on the animated character?
Looking like Wallace means I won't win image battle, admits Ed Miliband

If Ed was also 'created out of plastic', then we can see another way in which elections are manipulated by the people in control.Addressing Labour activists and members in London today, Mr Miliband attempted to draw a line under a series of PR gaffes - including struggling to eat a bacon sandwich and apologising for posing with a tabloid newspaper.
The Labour leader admitted he lacked film star looks and told the public not to vote for him if they wanted a leader who "thinks that a good photo is the most important thing."
Mr Miliband said: "You can find people who are more square-jawed, more chiselled, look less like Wallace.
"You could probably even find people who look better eating a bacon sandwich.
"If you want the politician from central casting, it's just not me, it's the other guy.
"And if you want a politician who thinks that a good photo is the most important thing, then don't vote for me."
Mr Miliband rallied against what he claims is an increasing importance placed on image and publicity stunts, saying "that culture diminishes our politics."
I don't sit here thinking that Ed Miliband is wearing a mask. But time and time again we have learned everything political is pre-planned and dummied before it is put into action. This suggests to me, Miliband's image was always based on subconscious messaging linking him to Wallace, and that is why he was never a real contender to win the 2015 election. Remember, Conservatives needed a majority to offer the EU Referendum, and by 2015 we were already a whole election cycle into the psychological operation set up for that vote with the installation of the Coalition government (nothing in politics is by chance). It was Tony Blair, in one of his election manifestos that had originally offered the EU Referendum, in fact I'm guessing from the following wiki link, John Major was the first, as part of the Maastricht Treaty arrangements, and Blair had confirmed once the fall out from the Danish and French votes was sorted, the British people would be given the vote promised by Major if it came to increased integration. This is very important to note, Tony Blair, speaking for the Queen, promised the EU Referendum.

Through a deep study of media fakery subtle tells begin to pop out. These storytellers push technology so their stories become more real, but the down side for them, it means the subtleties of fakery that would have previously been hidden are now revealed. We saw above, before Coronation Street could switch to being filmed in HD the set needed to be rebuilt. This is probably because in the previous set they used, for example paint to mimic brick texture, and where in standard definition the effect looked like real brick, in the HD tests it was easy to spot it was actually painted plywood or the like.
This is where all our taxes go, and this is where I think all the MP salaries really go. No amount of money is consider too much to fake things. It has warped the minds of these people, they were between a rock and a hard place, the move to HD and 4K was driven because of the need to make mixing real people with video effects seamless. Below is a trailer for a best-in-class standard definition fantasy circa 1984 from the BBC. Without increasing resolution they hit a brick wall on how real their fakery could get.
The Box of Delights
To have people interacting with computer graphics and special effects film resolution had to be increased, there was no way around it. It's all binary, on/off. With standard definition the relatively low resolution meant the on/off blocks were visible to the eye creating the telltale fringing and drop-outs on things like hair we see in standard definition productions.
In increasing the resolution the ability for viewers to spot other fake things, like masking, became a real problem. So with HD came the need to step-increase the skills of makeup artists etc. It is said that Capitalism holds the seeds to its own destruction and I think this is a case in point; it is only because of the university courses in film and television makeup that I have had such a rich source of study material to consider. And universities only put this information out for free to advertise their courses and attract students because under the capitalist model these students have to take on vast amounts of debt to attend university.
I thought I'd include this next 30 year anniversary video about 'The Box of Delights' because watch the backdrop. How many of the events shown are fake, how many are real? And we are coming up to the 40th anniversary in 2024.
It would appear the bad guys did indeed get hold of 'The Box of Delights'.
