Jonathan Pie: 'Boris Johnson Is a Liar' | NYT Opinion

Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, British people have been largely law abiding and civic minded. They followed the stay-at-home orders through three lengthy lockdowns, many losing their jobs, missing birthdays, weddings and even the funerals of their loved ones in the process.
So when evidence began to emerge in late November that the staff at 10 Downing Street, the prime minister’s residence and the central office of government, had held a Christmas party during lockdown, people were angry, to say the least. But then, after a steady stream of breaking news made clear it was not one or two but at least 16 parties, several of which Prime Minister Boris Johnson knew about and in some cases apparently attended, that anger transformed into fury. On Thursday, four members of his staff resigned, with one citing his reference to a debunked conspiracy theory while speaking to Parliament as a contributing factor.
To explain exactly why the British are so enraged with Mr. Johnson, who was already infamous for his troubled relationship with the truth, we produced a satirical Opinion Video with Jonathan Pie, a fictional broadcast reporter created and performed on UA-cam by the comedian Tom Walker, whose acerbic, satirical monologues have gone viral.
The video contains strong language and adult humor you wouldn’t normally see in The Times, but after being taken for fools, the British public is through being polite.

Whether it's reporting on conflicts abroad and political divisions at home, or covering the latest style trends and scientific developments, New York Times video journalists provide a revealing and unforgettable view of the world. It's all the news that's fit to watch.
Hello, I'm Jonathan Pie, and I collaborated with the Opinion Video team to help American audiences understand why so many British people are furious with Boris Johnson right now. As we make clear, Johnson is a well established liar. What do you think is the most infuriating lie he has ever told?
Not so much infuriating but the time he told that NHS worker there was no press at the hospital, whilst several press photographers were literally taking pictures of him as he said it. Think it just exemplified the way his depraved mind works. The first and foremost instinct in any confrontation, no matter how mild, is to lie.
Edit: Oh yeah great video btw. (as always)
"I don't lie"
BTW, did you get that cuppa?
That the UK government had a good response to the pandemic. Professor Marmott presented to NHS bigwigs this week and amongst the many, many shocking things he exposed was that every person's life expectancy in England has been reduced by at least a year because of Covid. This is in comparison with other countries (there was a long list) such as Denmark, Hong Kong Japan, whose life expectancy hadn't reduced at all because of the conduct and approach of their officials.
That you're funny.
As an Englishman I can tell you that Pie is perfectly correct about Johnson, his government, the Conservative party and many of the 'Entitled Establishment'.
@gerard dearie We must have faith, faith in independence.
No, Tories all the way - and Brexit. You'll be blaming the Whigs next.
@@sueyourself5413 We must have faith, faith in the Union!
how interesting that he did not say anything about the corrupt Biden and the same entitled lefties in UK . Biden is in China 's pocket, way deep
@@theotheo7241 Thats because the subject matter was "Boris Johnson is a Lair."
This man is the manifestation of our country’s anger and frustration with our government. He is excellent

absolutely!
Some of you people are Soooooooo easily fooled. Start by lifting your standards...
yeah really is THE personification of your country's anger with your government...LOUD, Aggressive, FULL of insults....and in the end utterly TOOTHLESS wont take ANY responsibility or action whatsoever anyway. "it'll solve itself im sure". So...why would Boris give 2 f's about you.
The very fact this man BECAME the leader of your country shows something is wrong with it. Youre right...HE actually IS like the UK's anger on so many more levels than you were aware of. Crazy.
He is the manifestation of our country’s elite anger and frustration. He doesn't even mention history nor how every mainstream media is, by smearing Corbyn, responsible for Johnson's win
The world needs much more of this. Mr Pie was spot on here.
apart from Scotch eggs are great ;)
Pie going global. Finally, the political commentator the world needs.
i doubt americans would understand british humour though

actually I suppose he can be both

@@1inchPunchBowl Yeah he is both but by political commentator I was sort of thinking columnist, and I don't think he writes anything, or does he? Not sure

Saw that one coming and still laughed the same
A bit like cos she is a statue, the people pay them to exist, the royals don't get involve in politics but they accept the decisions by protocol. It's not like medieval era not even like Victorian era, the royals only exist and they are the main tourism in Britain, they say hello, a
Happy mother's day, merry Christmas..etc open a few charities, they can do good things but if they were doing good things a lot, they would be judged for being political, it sounds bad but that's how it is in The firm, that's why Diana was a rarity there, she as many others left but in all honesty, she was murdered.
🤣
@@Sleepflowrr they're the face of charity workers whilst also sitting in an ivory tower. It's a very strange system.
@N Fels That's actually the job of the Select Committee, as I understand it. :/
@@Sleepflowrr "the royals don't get involve in politics" is the official line. But the Prime Minister still meets with the Queen on a weekly basis (except during a pandemic) and talks over government business. No-one knows what is said as there is no record kept but ... you know ... few enjoy giving up power.

Jonathan Pie says the things we all want to say
Regardless of what you think of the royal family, the image of an old lady, sitting on her own while burying he husband is heart breaking and sums up how dreadful these parties were. It’s an image that was repeated around the country on a daily basis, from the poorest to the richest of us but Boris thinks he’s above his own rules. He’s got to go, along with the rest of his corrupt cohorts.
The government informed the Queen that she didn't have to social distance but, she refused saying that it would send the wrong message.
@@emmanuelrobert208 Which only goes to show how Boris _should_ have reacted to any and all suggestions of social gatherings at no. 10. For the avoidance of doubt: the Queen did it correctly, Boris and his cabinet and civil servants at no. 10 did it wrong.
It's an image that ought not emotionally affect anybody who values humanity, or else the existence of a monarchical system that seperates people by class would cause them to explode
@@ohkay8939 Yep, agreed but in truth, I wouldn't have expected anything else.
Shame she blew 70yrs of respect by giving Blair her highest honour.
Boycott her Jubilee celebrations.

Jonathan Pie......the real no holds barred commentator. An absolute asset to the world.
“Eton, a sort of Hogwarts for wankers.” is where I quite literally shot milk and cereal I was eating at the time out of my nose. Mr. Pie, congratulations on inducing a feeling in me I truly have not experienced since third grade.
That is the best description for Eton I've ever heard.
Made me proper laugh that bit 🤣
Hogworts for Wankers. Classic.

As an American...that was literally the best thing I've ever seen in my entire life. Exquisite.
Go check his youtube, all his videos are amazing
When a British person is really annoyed we will write a very long letter or complaint

Thank you--you are our modern day Shakespeare...
Update: Boris got a fixed penalty notice. So he's officially a lawbreaker as well as a liar.
Thank you NYT for having Jonathan Pie on. He is fantastic. Make this a weekly segment!
i wish lol
Please do!
I've been watching him on UA-cam since he came on. It's exactly the acidic chaser needed to clear today's style of unctuous political lies from the palate.

@@DarkShroom - we know that, dumfuk.
I’m English but moved out of the country years ago, and believe me, Jonathan Pie is 100% accurate in everything he says. I hope one day (may it be sooner than later) that people look back in history and wonder just how political systems that are hundreds of years old, were still retained and used in the 21st century. It’s time to update, delete and reinstall the entire political system. Long live Pie!
So Clinton Obama Biden Brown Blair? By the way can you point out the aristocrats in the current British cabinet?

Greatest Words ever Said..Bravo Jonathan......
Don't stop Pie! Absolutely love you! Simply brilliant
That was like an Olympic 1500 metres final - he held back until the last lap and then just opened up and left everyone for dead ! A gold medal winning performance !
He has a great finishing kick in him
This is simply brillant! And more: he tells the truth!
Tapeworms with tiaras! Classic!
Going to work that into as many conversations as possible!
Thought maybe Pie was toning it down until he brought it home with a fiery flurry of brilliance. Keep up the great work Tom, the world needs more of you. P.s. would be great to see you on Aussie TV again, even better to see you critique some Australian hypocrites/liars/wankers.
The more I hear this Scandal repeated and the more I mull over the sacrifices my Queen and country made during the lock down. The more it makes my blood boil. Glad to see Pie getting carried away showing his contempt and anger for the Johnson.
That wasn't Pie getting carried away, that's just him saying what he sees. There is barely a word of exaggeration in that tirade. It's no wonder that he's a tad miffed about things. I am more than a little peeved myself.
@@tonyb9735 May I complement you on your masterful understatement, brilliant! Regards Jim

Bravo 👏
My thoughts exactly! 👏 👏 👏
Best line
He was funnier when Andrew Doyle wrote for him. He is only covering Boris as the orange man is out of office and Boris is the next easiest target. The NYT covering a proven liar, a bit like the pot calling the kettle black. How is it going with Project Veritas NYT? Will Mr Pie have a witty routine for Kier Starmer being abused for what Boris accused him of being a complete setup. The protestors had been there for hours, and both Kier's aides and the police knew that. There is also a secure walkway to the place where Kier was going.
how did trump get dragged into this? Why not aoc, Biden, Pelosi, Trudeau? Hmmm, lefty tells me that leftys going on here. They'll be banning speech next, lol. Wait, what!? They are trying to ban...
That was amazing. This guy is right up there with Mark Twain.
This is fantastically well done. It’s a cross between brilliant humour and actual spot on serious analysis.
The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth
As a British person who relies on a systematically obliterated NHS, which has suffered under 12 years of Tory destruction - I rely on Mr Pie for my therapy. So I thank the NY Times for this particular session...👍
"systematically obliterated NHS"
ha-ha-ha
NHS budget can be 110% of the GDP and labor voters will still keep selling their brainwashing drivel about how "NHS is underfunded"
your NHS blows because it blows
it will never have enough funding
stop obeying people who literally sell you lies from the guardian and civil service and media-government bureaucracy overlap.
@@georgec8451 my mum is a senior nurse who retired early due to burn out. You're a trolling a-hole. NHS is in tatters.

@@georgec8451 The UK spends the 2nd least on healthcare of the G8, only beaten to the bottom only by Italy. Introducing shareholders, profits and more costs via insurance companies, would make it less efficient.

Waaay too few people in this country are bothered that the actions of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom are being investigated by the police. This is huge!
The apathy and complacency in this country, in the face of both significant and unecessary suffering of my people and corruption in government, is staggering, if you think about it. Which reminds me of Bertrand Russell's famous quote that "Most men would rather die than think. In fact, most do."
Plus Boris's name is on Reiner Fuellmich's court papers alleging genocide re covid fraud!
In Australia our much-hated PM, Scotty from Marketing, should be a political dead man walking, considering we have an election due in the next few months. But the opposition leader is hardly anyone's idea of an alternative PM, and the cynicism and apathy is overwhelming. In the US people only voted for Biden to get rid of Trump. All the major political parties everywhere are bought and sold, and that is the intractable problem.
@@neilpemberton5523 Yep, same in the UK, it's hard to vote when both main parties are led by numpties, Labour is supposed to be a socialist party and yet it's led by _Sir_ Keir Starmer. Out of touch leadership of all parties seems to be the current thing in the US, UK and Aus.
@@krashd I don’t care, starmer will be the uks biden and I’d rather have 5 years of blue labour than another 7 years of austerity which is what we are currently facing.
@@Jay_Johnson is it austerity or corruption? Our taxes used to easily cover healthcare, financial support for those that need it, libraries etc.
We still pay those taxes, more in fact, yet those services have all stopped or greatly reduced and at the same time rich people are getting richer and more people are getting poorer. The national debt was never getting any smaller anyway, despite austerity and long before covid.
I'd say it's not austerity.
Mr Pie, BRILLIANT JOURNALIST🏆🏆🏆🌹🌹🌹.
Brilliant as ever. It's incredible when someone just sitting there telling the truth is entertainment.
Americans should know: Jonathan Pie is not a comedian, he is one of Britain's foremost political commentator. You can believe everything he says.
He may have been created by a gifted comedic actor of great intelligence, but he does Tell It Like It Is. Left wing, Right wing, Centrist and Alternative politics all get the same searing treatment of speaking the truth. If only the world could be run by empathetic.
Whatever his medium, the message remains the same
The genius, is that we don't have freedom of speech in uk..look it up, honest. We have what's called 'freedom of expression'. We can say things, until the majority don't like it...then you can't. We USED to have freedom of speech, but cancel culture and 'offended' happened.
Mr Pie here is so funny, because he is speaking the absolute truth. Do not listen to our leaders and do not listen to the BBC whom the government own and has become a propaganda tool once again. THIS man is the truth of exactly how this country is. We a rich nation with poor people. What you see on TV is the absolute Oxford and Cambridge and Eton kids, that grow up and run the country. Most of our ministers have come from those hideous select only university's. They have no idea of real life in the UK.
Feel so sorry for the english With the horrific "elite".what could you do to get real people elected.
This maybe said to amuse but depressingly everything he says is factually correct
He's a national treasure. Always spot-on, if a little unduly harsh on scotch eggs.
