Just checked the video and...
Oof! That's pretty much a political awareness video and far from an ad.

There is no way they can risk mass political awareness regarding the new legislations that they are frantically attempting to tunnel through.
100% ban material.

If I were UK govt. I would be internally calling this a "National Security" issue.
