Cassetteboy joins forces with Russell Brand for Emperor's New Clothes film

Now, the masterful video editors – who cleverly splice existing footage together to get our political representatives to say the most outrageous things – have applied their treatment to both Cameron, George Osborne and Nigel Farage.

Their latest video, titled Emperor’s New Clothes rap, sees Ukip leader Farage admitting to a worrying immigration policy: “We’re the only party that believes in social mobility/ Our ability to push migrants on a boat is my personal priority”.

 

While Cameron urges us to “Make sure the toffs stay better off/ Make sure the money stops at the top/ Take every penny from the hands of many and give everything to the few”.

And Chancellor of the Exchequer, Osborne, admits: “We will take interest in the richest/ Let us make the poor their bitches.”

Cassetteboy The parody has been published to publicise Michael Winterbottom’s upcoming collaboration with comedian and activist Russell Brand, a “polemical documentary” also called Emperor’s New Clothes.

Russell Brand's Most Controversial Quips

 

The Brand/Winterbottom film is being released in cinemas nationwide from 24 April and uses a combination of documentary, interviews, archive footage and comedy to “reveal the bewildering truth about how the people at the bottom are paying for the luxuries of those at the top”.

Cassetteboy began 20 years ago with the duo making mix-tapes for friends, which interspersed songs with funny clips from The Day Today or The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

In 2002, they released their first album, The Parker Tapes, and they stuck with audio until 2008 when they began publishing videos on YouTube, their first being a Gordon Brown speech.
