Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.

"I have watched for over a decade political elites bailing out financial elites and then asking media elites to sell the idea that people like you should pay for it." - pure gold again. The only fallacy here is assuming that these are not the one and same elite, after all.
The same policies of benefiting the rich and the accumulation of wealth in only a few is what caused the 1930's depression. And what happens when the rich policies fail, ordinary citizens pay for their mistakes.
It all depends upon your finances whether it's Level Up or Level Down. Carlin put it best: "The upper class: keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class: pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there...just to scare the shit out of the middle class."
The poor do the vast majority of work, that makes society function, my friend. Even with the underclass within the poor that rejects society -- the lumpen-proletariat.
We've long surpassed satire, and slid into straight lunacy. What will it take for the British public to take action? We all know the problem, and we're running out of time.

Three of them (pin-striped lizards) turned up in my high street to ask me if the value of my house had improved recently.

I tried to find the turntables and pulley wheels that apparently operated them while they walked away to instantly forget that anything had happened. It took me a further seventeen years before I managed to expatriate myself. I now live again.

I keep wondering how people do not realize how big this topic is. It is the same in Germany. Probably the most injust and crazy policy that could be changed in an instant is the balance of taxes that is based more or less on the trickle-down economy lie. Yet no one is in the streets protesting for a change in this, because we accepted it as normal. And politicians who want to double down on it still get elected.
The Netherlands is exactly the same. Unfortunately it's mostly the elite that goes into politics here and who gets accepted to actually be eligible to be voted in.
These clips are masterpieces. Jonathan Pie is a political commentator par excellence. But his performance - where he distills what right-thinking people feel about the political situation in the UK and delivers it in a gripping monologue - is even better.
Luckily, cutting the tax will save The Crime Minature's family £300,000,000. Phew! And only a few more kids in poverty with have to make yet more sacrifices. But, they're not 'their kind of children', so it shouldn't matter. Back to the educationally impoverished, crumbling schools they go! They should learn to dodge and eat the fallen concrete, the lazy gets.
Kids are usually in poverty because they have useless lazy parents who think it's the states responsibility to provide for their kids while they piss their benefits up the wall. Seen it so many times, it's not what social security was created for.
Yes, @allenbooth, the Tories have worshipped Thatchers mantra every since and the result is that the country is rapidly flushing any decency we as a nation used to have straight down the toilet
@@stingerjohnny9951 In context, her point was that when people say "Society should pay for X", what they really mean is "Other people should pay for X". To that extent, it's a fair point. The villainous part of Thatcher's economics wasn't recognising that taxes ultimately come from people, but pushing regressive taxation.
@@petertaylor4980 What you left out in your paraphrasing were the kinds of things that constitute X. This is what Thatcher actually said: "I think we have gone through a period when too many children and people have been given to understand “I have a problem, it is the Government's job to cope with it!” or “I have a problem, I will go and get a grant to cope with it!” “I am homeless, the Government must house me!” and so they are casting their problems on society and who is society? There is no such thing! There are individual men and women and there are families and no government can do anything except through people and people look to themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then also to help look after our neighbour and life is a reciprocal business and people have got the entitlements too much in mind without the obligations, because there is no such thing as an entitlement unless someone has first met an obligation and it is, I think, one of the tragedies in which many of the benefits we give, which were meant to reassure people that if they were sick or ill there was a safety net and there was help, that many of the benefits which were meant to help people who were unfortunate-“It is all right. We joined together and we have these insurance schemes to look after it”. That was the objective, but somehow there are some people who have been manipulating the system and so some of those help and benefits that were meant to say to people: “All right, if you cannot get a job, you shall have a basic standard of living!” but when people come and say: “But what is the point of working? I can get as much on the dole!” You say: “Look! It is not from the dole. It is your neighbour who is supplying it and if you can earn your own living then really you have a duty to do it and you will feel very much better!” You should read the whole article, it is borderline illiterate. Here she is essentially arguing that (a) there is a widespread equivalence between people seeking government help and them being scroungers - if it were only a few why even mention it, and (b) the current welfare state extends way beyond being a "safety net" - though I would have thought that helping to provide housing for people who would otherwise be homeless was a pretty good example of a safety net. At best she is confused about the idea that by "society" people are indeed referring to their neighbours, only on a national scale. At worst, it is a short step to "the poor only have themselves to blame".
the average inheritance age is 65, so the top 4% who will be benefitting this will be passing their money onto people that have already benefitted from their parents wealth regardless
Plus wealth is not a static amount. It increases just by existing. The wealthy are black holes in the economy, sucking money in to where it can never escape.
Indeed. The government's answer to poverty in retirement is to let oldies live on their inheritances, ignoring the fact that many people will inherit little or nothing.
Wealth is relative. For one person to be wealthy another has to be poor. For 96% to be wealthy, there's just no such thing, as the cost of goods and services would just realign themselves upwards until that level of wealth was no longer wealth. We don't have much equality when it comes to wealth, that I do agree with, but it's the elites at the very top (everyone of those non PAYE earners that really needs to be addressed).
This is a very sneaky trick by the Tories because most people don't know that inheritance tax doesn't apply to them, that's why it's so unpopular. Most people don't know that if you're a married couple passing your house to your children, it would have to be worth over a million pounds to be subject to inheritance tax. So the Tories get to help their wealthy donors and look like they're helping regular people. I hope people see through this but they never see through anything.
The beauty of listening to any of Jonathan's rants is that I always feel a hundred times better than I did before...those Johnson, Cummings, Hunt, Truss, Hancock, Kwarteng days were covered by an angry Pie who spoke for all of us, just pure genius how his observations are beautifully wrapped and delivered...the more you listen, the better you feel. Keep them coming Jonathan!!
Say it JP, say it long and loud! (While you can, at least....before the king loses his pen, grimaces and signs that bit of paper that relates to speaking freely)
Spot on as always. When the party political broadcasts start airing for the next general election can the TV channels also broadcast Jonathan's videos too? He speaks far more truth than any of out politicians, especially those currently in Government.
Honestly...Biden has actually been low-key alright, he is more soc-dem than he campaigned as and made some major strides for Unions in the US. I'd take a Biden over here, I just don't think Starmer is our guy. Greens or Lib Dems seem the only route forward.
I've always found it interesting how the burden of "austerity measures" always falls squarely on those who are already living pretty austere lives. Prosperity for the prosperous, austerity for the rest of us.
When messaging numbers is worked down to a fine art. With the introduction of zero hour contracts to improve the numbers of the unemployed and moving the homeless from one town to another.
Inheritance Tax being cut means 3.7% of people get a huge cash bonus. 96.3% will lose NHS and school and transport services. They will also need to be taxed more. Given the rich get richer and the poor are getting poorer the IT needs widening and increasing
Fact is if you only pay if you raised your kids badly. Just look at data on £1M+ houses in London......held in Trusts. It's easy to put major assets into Trusts, decide on the beneficiaries well before the grim reaper or dementia or cancer comes knocking at the door. But you do need trust for the Trust to avoid the tax.
I'd bet the percentage is bigger than 3.7%, there are numerous ways around paying inheritance tax. I'd assume the 3.7% were simply the ones who were unprepared.
@@kevinwells768exactly. They call it the voluntary tax because the very wealthy don't usually pay it. They get fancy accountants to dodge it. However, there are a lot of normal people getting dragged into it. On an individual basis the tax inheritance tax allowance is as little as a mere £375k. But those on the left want you believe it's only the very rich who pay it. All that's needed is some common sense to raise the threshold to an amount that only the rich get dragged into it and you can make up for the tax loss by closing the loops that the very rich are already using to dodge it
@@kevinwells768 £1 million is tax free anyway if its the family home and passed on by parents to kids. So you'd only pay on anything over £1 million, so in reality people are only paying any sort of significant percentage once you go into the £1.5 million plus estates. Simply reality is someone with even a £1.5 million pound house in London is only paying £200k, so still leaving £1.3 million to their kids, they are being taxed at just 13%. But if you suddenly have like a £10 million estate, which we are likely talking less than a few thousand, you are paying £3.6 million in tax so we can suddenly see that the main benefits are for the very very wealthy, not even semi-normal rich people with a nice house in London are really impacted that much and they are already a small percentage of people in the country, maybe even a fraction percentage of the population.
Sadly, the JP rants are just as valid in the rest of the western world. Here in Norway, where we used to think reasonable well of politicians, we find that they are ALL rotten to the core, - no exceptions regardless which party. Hope people will wake up, but doubt it as the few alternative media are drowned by the bullshit ones. So we need a JP as well.
if they're arguing that double-taxing wealth is bad, they should remove literally every tax because everything is taxed multiple times (a mars bar has like 5 different taxes running through it before it even gets to the consumer)
Sherlock Holmes said "Eliminate the impossible, and whatever remains, however improbable must be the truth". Rishi's got on old relative, about to kick the bucket.
The suggestion that the right honourable Rishi Sunak would have the law of the land changed in order to personally benefit from a relatives death is such an absolutely disgusting slur that I cannot imagine anything more accurate.
Your content is so good and on point. If only journalists would pull the government up and hold them accountable like you do. Would love more content on a regular basis.
You have to wonder why a very wealthy guy like Sunak wants all the hassle of being PM… power and making already wealthy even richer … don’t mind wealthy people at all but the top 5% having a huge % of the wealth and growing while people struggle to even hear their rented homes is obscene.

That quote applies to the whole world, I'm afraid.
So true. Many countries in the West have completely lost their culture, it seems.

Great show again.Really need him on prime time TV . To motivate and wake up the public.
top class! Hilarious and resonating with the truth in this nation!
Love you John every body deserves a slice of the pie 🎉
Imagine Pie as Pie Minister! I'd watch PM'S questions every day.
Always spot on
Ever since the levelling up bollox was mentioned it's been nothing but levelling down.
Always love getting a piece of Pie.
Say it JP, say it long and loud! (While you can, at least....before the king loses his pen, grimaces and signs that bit of paper that relates to speaking freely)
We need more Pie! Pie for PM please.
This is a certified pie classic
Spot on as always.
When the party political broadcasts start airing for the next general election can the TV channels also broadcast Jonathan's videos too?
He speaks far more truth than any of out politicians, especially those currently in Government.
Love you man! More, more...
As we’re now approaching an election JP’s videos should be shown before and after every Tory election broadcast.
"we live in an economy not a society"
That's a great line. Yoinked.
My hero…Says it like it is!
We live in an economy, not a society. That sums it up brilliantly!
Jonathon Pie, not the hero we wanted, but definitely the hero we needed.
Its time for Mr Pie to start his own party........ who's in.......?
I'm crying with laughter...no, actually, I'm laughing but crying more 😢. Keep up the good work!
Seeing that the UL government is as bad as the US government makes me both relieved and sick to my stomach
Honestly...Biden has actually been low-key alright, he is more soc-dem than he campaigned as and made some major strides for Unions in the US.
I'd take a Biden over here, I just don't think Starmer is our guy. Greens or Lib Dems seem the only route forward.
Remember when this kind of satire could be distinguished from reality?
Nope, hence the Blackadder reference
No
No. There's just a lot of material just now.
Hey Pie, hope you're taking your blood pressure pills, we can't afford to lose you mate!
I've always found it interesting how the burden of "austerity measures" always falls squarely on those who are already living pretty austere lives.
Prosperity for the prosperous, austerity for the rest of us.
Utterly brilliant....
The man who I vicariously hate politicians with.
I love the attention to detail! Sometimes its an ad break, sometimes its a rehearsal!
Two Jonathan Pie vids in one week? Someone should remind Pie that Christmas is still three months away
The Tories have cancelled Christmas.
I remember the first time I saw a JP video and I thought a real tv news reporter had gone rogue😂
This has to be the least sweary Jonathan pie of all time. Still absolutely spot on though
Totally agree nice to hear the truth and facts articulated so well.bravo Johnathan pie
When messaging numbers is worked down to a fine art. With the introduction of zero hour contracts to improve the numbers of the unemployed and moving the homeless from one town to another.
I can't wait for Pie's take on Cruella's speech about immigration and asylum.
Inheritance Tax being cut means 3.7% of people get a huge cash bonus. 96.3% will lose NHS and school and transport services. They will also need to be taxed more.
Given the rich get richer and the poor are getting poorer the IT needs widening and increasing
Fact is if you only pay if you raised your kids badly. Just look at data on £1M+ houses in London......held in Trusts. It's easy to put major assets into Trusts, decide on the beneficiaries well before the grim reaper or dementia or cancer comes knocking at the door. But you do need trust for the Trust to avoid the tax.
I'd bet the percentage is bigger than 3.7%, there are numerous ways around paying inheritance tax. I'd assume the 3.7% were simply the ones who were unprepared.
@@kevinwells768exactly. They call it the voluntary tax because the very wealthy don't usually pay it. They get fancy accountants to dodge it. However, there are a lot of normal people getting dragged into it. On an individual basis the tax inheritance tax allowance is as little as a mere £375k. But those on the left want you believe it's only the very rich who pay it. All that's needed is some common sense to raise the threshold to an amount that only the rich get dragged into it and you can make up for the tax loss by closing the loops that the very rich are already using to dodge it
@@kevinwells768 £1 million is tax free anyway if its the family home and passed on by parents to kids. So you'd only pay on anything over £1 million, so in reality people are only paying any sort of significant percentage once you go into the £1.5 million plus estates. Simply reality is someone with even a £1.5 million pound house in London is only paying £200k, so still leaving £1.3 million to their kids, they are being taxed at just 13%. But if you suddenly have like a £10 million estate, which we are likely talking less than a few thousand, you are paying £3.6 million in tax so we can suddenly see that the main benefits are for the very very wealthy, not even semi-normal rich people with a nice house in London are really impacted that much and they are already a small percentage of people in the country, maybe even a fraction percentage of the population.
Not sure that’s true
And still we're kept in our place .😤😤😤😤, great reaction young man .👍
The double thumbs makes everything ok 👍🏻👍🏻
Sadly, the JP rants are just as valid in the rest of the western world. Here in Norway, where we used to think reasonable well of politicians, we find that they are ALL rotten to the core, - no exceptions regardless which party. Hope people will wake up, but doubt it as the few alternative media are drowned by the bullshit ones. So we need a JP as well.
He is completely right
We do not live in a society any more
We live in an economy
And it’s so entrenched I am fearful it’ll ever change back
Jonathan Pie must have a huge tie collection at this point.
if they're arguing that double-taxing wealth is bad, they should remove literally every tax because everything is taxed multiple times (a mars bar has like 5 different taxes running through it before it even gets to the consumer)
And booze and petrol.
Levelling up tory bank accounts, ALWAYS.
Love this ...your only saying what we all feel ....
Loving the regular uploads
You are a priceless gem Jonathan. Thank you.
Good to hear Jonathan on mainstream radio 4, keep up the vitriol Jonathan.
Inheritance is essentially rewarding certain people for being born in the right families.
“Pin striped lizards!” Brilliant!
Mr Pie you always cheer up my day with your vids, Bravo my young man.
I think we already need a new season of Call Jonathan Pie.
Great content as always Pie. Bravo. Thank you.
I am listening to your BBC podcast, just wonderful, a fantastic premise to allow you shine the light on the nonsense that is going on.
Thanks
Sherlock Holmes said "Eliminate the impossible, and whatever remains, however improbable must be the truth".
Rishi's got on old relative, about to kick the bucket.
The suggestion that the right honourable Rishi Sunak would have the law of the land changed in order to personally benefit from a relatives death is such an absolutely disgusting slur that I cannot imagine anything more accurate.
@@andyastrand And I thought my comment was good!😭
£300 million, that is what Labour reckons his family would personally benefit from the change, so his wealth going onto his kids.
@@tajj7 how did we get here.
How has this (and all the rest of his stuff) not got 60 million views on the first week is a mystery to me
👏🏼 well said. There are enough ways to mitigate IHT as it is with trusts, pensions, etc
Getting rid of IHT would be criminal
Your content is so good and on point. If only journalists would pull the government up and hold them accountable like you do. Would love more content on a regular basis.
Brilliant, and absolutely on point.
Legend! Nothing but love for Pie!! ❤
And that's why I emigrated, and I absolutely love my country and the people who live there (most of them)
Good stuff, Mr Pie👌🤣
“pin-striped lizards”… LOL. Spot-on news, Jonathan Pie! Hello from across the pond!
*PLEASE run for office*
Another banger Pie
In Los Angeles, Social Services is hard wired to keep you right where you are. That is, well below the "poverty line" (established in 1963!!!).
Well said 100per cent shambles ,
Don't forget, Vote 1 for your local Tory member for more amazing policies like this 😉
Surely the greens party is better than the Tory, new labor duopoly
They're all the same, there is an issue with the political class of this country
I wouldn't get too excited about a potential incoming Labour.
The awful thing is that we COULD see them re-elected next year.
the vote is fake Ed
'Look over there poor people, there's some crumbs fell onto the floor from the banquet table you can have' - The Tory Party mantra, 2010-2023.
Don't worry Oliver, here too in France, the wealthy's voices always takes precedent over the interest of people who don't own anything.
Might be time to dust off the guillotine again, mate.
About time we realised the truth of the trickle down lie: wealth gushes up but drips down where the powerful can't fix the leaks.
You have to wonder why a very wealthy guy like Sunak wants all the hassle of being PM… power and making already wealthy even richer … don’t mind wealthy people at all but the top 5% having a huge % of the wealth and growing while people struggle to even hear their rented homes is obscene.
Any party that is opposing the Tories at the next election should be broadcasting Pie's videos 24x7!
Pinstriped lizards 😂😂 thank you for this one❤
Brilliant. As usual.
