Imagine giving those earning £1m+ a year an extra £55,000 pa, and telling those on UC to work longer hours to make ends meet. Not just an immoral and heartless government but deeply sinister, even psychopathic.
Its certainly one way to decrease population. Japan (Tokyo) works extremely long hours with pretty shit pay, so the stress of that is what's causing the lack of children being born.
I think we all realised how much they gave a toss about lives when they announced their pandemic plan was to "take it on the chin". Tens of thousands dead unnecessarily. Now more to follow this winter.
Poor you. You honestly think that equation works. Sadly, I heard it repeated so many times on Friday, it looks like the majority of Labour MPs believe it too. If you earn a million a year, you're paying a clever tax accountant to make damn sure you don't pay 55 Grand in tax in the first place.
We need extra tax brackets, I realise people on £150k a year should be at the bottom of the priority list but why should people earning 3/20ths of what people earning 1m get be in the same tax bracket? Fine, leave it at 40-45% for now but charge 500k + even more. Personally, I think we should focus more on taxes placed on luxury items. Increase VAT on luxury good/services bought and imported into the UK. Use that to subsidise slashing taxes on essentials like petrol, foodstuffs, basic clothing like jumpers, etc. Sounds unfair but I also think this should only apply to permanent residents in the UK, that way we avoid deterring tourists etc and continue to stimulate the financial incentives for people to come and work in the UK.
I saw a homeless person today and decided to help them so I went to the richest part of town and pushed a few hundred quid through the letterbox of the most expensive house I could find so that some of that would 'trickle down ' to the homeless person. This is Tory policy. 🙃
It’s that “reporter” that uses mainstream media to push an agenda. Just like the billions spent on advertising to get you to buy a product you have lived without for your entire life, todays journalism is about making you think in a particular way. Brainwashing of a sorts really.
Presented as satirical comedy but actually every word spoken is true - people like Jonathon Pie stand out as beacons of light in the darkness - I salute and thank you. Plus it's very funny, and we need that as well.
Pie is neo-Nazi filth, in the deep pocket of the secretly (USA) funded IEA and ideologically identical to neo- liberalist and libertarian crypto-fascist organisations worldwide. His Covid-denialist tour in the company of Lozza Fox should have been ample example of his anti-human, anti-science, anti-working class ideology; I literally can't believe that any true left-wingers are literally unable to see through his fascism; he is laughing at you all, and it's time you realised it, and time we all struck back.
There is an old English tradition of the worst news being delivered by the court jester. Jonathan Pie is following in that tradition. Still, I am glad that I live in China where the living conditions of the poorest is treated as a matter of greatest governmental importance. ( And we are supposed to be the poor country...)
Yeah but Thatcher had to undo all that Labour had done first...so Truss is just new game plus - it's already been completed, just getting the extra's they miseed first time around!
@@SuperEuphorbia Just like every other tory slogan in the last few years "the last labour government" is going to age like milk when the economy crashes much harder than 2008.
Sorry but voting in general has no meaning anymore, if we really want to put a stop to this then it has to be violence, the people need to rise up against our oppressors before it's too late.
We understand but we do fuck all about it. I would love to take part in a general strike so these absolute pigs can get their noses out the trough and Labour can think about actually being an opposition for once. This country suffered a lot the day the electorate turned their back on Corbyn.
i had a friend at school who continued to support the tories because he “didn’t believe all the bad stuff people said about them” haven’t spoke in years but wonder what he thinks now after seeing blatantly how they all acted during the pandemic
The only thing that's going to trickle down, is the tears on people's faces who cannot pay their bills and buy food. This has gone beyond choosing between 'heating and eating'.
Why should anyone feel sorry for the poor who can’t pay bills or buy food etc? These people voted in the Conservative party in droves in 2019, despite having austerity inflicted upon them in the previous 9 years that the Tories were in office. The country is now paying for their stupidity and their gullibility. I don’t blame the Tories for being Tories. It’s what they do. They’ve always been the party of utter bastards. I blame the poor. The stupid, idiotic poor who would prefer to let the Mail, Express and Sun do their thinking for them.
I'll send this to the tories I know just to watch them put their fingers in their ears and shout "Only rich people matter. Money is happiness" repeatedly. Insightful as ever Jonathan, thank you 🙏
Moreover I hate that Labour are so consistently batshit that the choice is between The Tories fucking you like they always do or Labour inventing new and interesting ways to get fucked. The absolute state of British democracy...
I mean they implemented lockdown’s, gave everyone benefits, shut down the economy, made people give up businesses. They have been the most socialized government in our history.
The ONLY reason labour won't get in is because of the woketopia they want to create. Fk the thought police. They want our culture gone and an open door immigration policy. Mean tweets are their highest priority. So that the choice, be poor or be woke.
Honestly I’m an American politics nerd granted and not too familiar with Jon pie but I know of his work with the New York Times, that’s the first time I’ve actually ever cried over UK politics (I cry over US weekly) it’s just so appalling your government has been reduced to these terrible people that are rigid and set to make the rich richer and the poor poorer, now of all times, it’s complete insanity, class warfare, and it makes me terribly sad, stay safe over there y’all, love from America ❤❤
This is not to demean Tom Walker (Jonathan Pie is pure genius) but it's not comedy, it's heartwrenching. It brings tears to my eyes and I haven't lived in the UK for the last 16 years.
dunno, its pretty fucking funny tory mp's are already talking to journalists about the 1922 committee and when the letters should go in...after 2 weeks of this shit show...n kwartengs new nickname, kamikwarsi
In 2010 the NHS had it's highest satisfaction rating ever wait times were 2 days for a doctors appointment. Then the Tories took over and now in 2022 they are aiming to get waits down to 2 weeks as at the moment it is months.
The tories plan is to starve the NHS of funding so waiting times go up and quality of treatment goes down, this will cause people to be dissatisfied and angry with the NHS so the tories can privatise it and claim they're doing it for the public good.
@@Slots-Room If you're lucky enough to live in a smaller borough or village your wait can be quicker, but god help you if you live in a busy city.A routine appointment is usually 4-6 weeks absolute minimum.
It's rare that I'm moved by a single word... But that "LIES!" was brilliant, in context and the pure sound of it, the roughness of it like his voice is being dragged across sandpaper because he's carrying the voice of the nation
The way Mr. Pie says lies is the sound of pure honesty and truth backed by anger, resentment against the government and with the whole country behind him. I wish I had the same enthusiasm as Pie.
Does anyone else remember when we laughed at these videos. I spend more time rubbing my face in despair. It's gone from humour to actual facts. JP, the only honest person in Westminster's postcode
If you ever laughed at this video, something is wrong with you. He's been on the point all these years. He wasn't joking. I watched in despair that people thought he was joking.
Thats the problem right there.. this man has been screaming his message for years and people think its not serious. Its always been serious and its always been based on facts
He's as Tory and Thatcherite as they come. Things won't improve for most people under Labour, they'll just get worse a bit slower than under Tory. The NHS is screwed under both with both Starmer and Streeting being financed by people with links to US health corporations (United Health)
Gordon Brown started austerity crisis when 2008 happened. Starmer to me it's so much worse than gordon brown or tony blair (expect for his criminal war). If anything, he's cheering this silently and if labour do get into power, mark my words they'll push whatever liz truss is pushing.
@@CowmanUK He's really demonstrably not a Thatcherite. Do you even know what that word means? He just announced reinstating the higher tax rate band and creating a state owned energy corporation, how does that come across as Thatcherite in your mind?
The most disturbing thing about that rant is the almost complete lack of hyperbole. I listened to it again looking for any which was not literally true. In this case, speaking the truth is more damning than any lie or exaggeration could be.
"It's as if the phrase 'Gaslighting' was created for this very situation..." well they are trying to knock the worst paid back to Victorian levels of poverty. PS. Sir, you are an absolute legend, cutting edge and inciteful.
I realise that Pie was a satirical character originally, but he doesn't even need to be now. It's insane how apt this character is for the political chaos we're forced to witness
Unfortunately this tends to happen. The Daily Show ended with more in-depth coverage by the time Jon Stewart left. (Unclear since then, as they gave up being funny, so I stopped watching). Humour is a great way to keep listeners involved.
When was he satirical though? He was always basically a regular political commentator with the tone played up to angryfunny but otherwise playing it 100% straight in content.
This has got to be the scariest video Pie has ever posted. Most videos are funny and satirical one liners around laughable issues, however this one definitely feels different. It’s terrifying
That was hard to watch, so bloody painful. You usually make me laugh Mr Pie! I can't say how bad I'm feeling for the British people today. The LNP was bad for Australia the last 9 years, then we changed it. You need to do the same, for the love of humanity. ANY chance you get to do that prior to the next scheduled election, go for it, you can't WAIT for change......
But it has not just happened quickly or is just Lizzy that is the problem, the Tory over privileged clown brigade have been allowed destroy the U.K. while everyone does nothing to stop the never ending shit-show. Any other country would have been at civil war status with a fraction of what these parasites have been let get away with for the last 12 years. This latest betrayal of human decency is a bucket of petrol on an already Inferno and the British public do nothing to stop it. The Tory Government are like a dictatorship, with zero regard and no consequences with an apathetic down trodden public relying on food banks to not starve to death. While the Tory party strip the country of all its wealth and pissing themselves laughing at just how easy it is and not even having the decency to hide it.
There isn't much left to flog Mike, actually I don't think there is anything left except public buildings the military and what's left of the NHS. No doubt they will flog them all on the cheap, and make a few bob whilst getting a boardroom slot and overseeing the massive charge to rent the stuff back !
@@jimsmith4611 Since 2016 the most accurate UK political analysis has come from a satirist doing hysterical comic polemics. Even the swearing and ridiculous, obscene similies seem entirely justified (my favourite was when he called BJ a 'blithering sack of vicious custard'). My concern is that things seem to keep getting worse! Pie has more and more potential content every time the politicians announce a policy, a plan, an attitude or a pledge.
The problem with satire and comedy in these times is, that there is no room left for both. You just can't come up with a funny exaggeration anymore. It is kind of like trying to make a joke about a child soldier blowing another child soldiers arm off while training with an assault rifle. Whatever you would try, it wouldn't be funny. It would just be either true or tasteless - and most often it would be both. There is no potential for satire or comedy in this world's politics.
@@Oktokolo Nowadays Pie's humour seems to come from enacting a kind of manic exasperation at the extemity of it all. Or a hysterical and angry rejection of the implied immorality. Certainly, gentle parody doesn't seem cutting enough for such extreme times? I understand your analogy but I would compare it to trying to put out a burning bag of dog shit by repeatedly stamping on it. It is funny to watch someone else doing it but it is a very dirty business when its your bag or your foot!
@Teakhead Al Russell Brand is both a nutjob and a huckster. If there was a poster boy for media personalities that just won't go away and deserve to be "got rid of" it's Russell Brand. Just sayin.
I used to laugh at his video. This one made me cry. He got me at hungry children and shivering grandma. He got it so right and his anger that reels through this population. 😢
This is how I wish the media would actually report the news. I agree with every word in this video and my husband and I have been ranting to each other about new government (since there isn't anyone else here to rant to) ever since Truss okayed all those fracking licences under cover of the Queen's death.
A really big earthquake that splits Scotland from the rest of us, caused by fracking would be a bit of a laugh, No one hurt of course otherwise it wouldn't be funny at all.
He's an Actor not a comedian, I had the unplanned fortune tonight to actually get to see the play he's in at the moment. I worry he might be a little bit type cast, but on stage I must say he is equally amazing as he is in these videos.
I feel like a lot of the humour has gone from Pie's vids over the years and I think it's simply because Tom is finding it harder to joke about the state of things now. It's just all unremittingly grim and the impact of Conservative actions are becoming more and more apparent to the point that even a good number of Conservative voters are finding it hard to ignore (because they're not THAT well off and suddenly what was only impacting the very poorest is now impacting them). Don't get me wrong though, Tom's videos are still as vital as ever.
No, it's because the writer who actually penned a lot of Pie's best jokes left a few years back so what's left is just anger and creative swear words. Not that there isn't a call for creative swear-words mind you. Though sadly it's gonna take more than a good roast to drive the entire political class of Labour, Tories, Lib Dems, SNP, etc. back into the depths of the ocean where they to a man belong.
It isn't just the UK. Australia saw a lost decade of climate change denialism and poor-blaming, shaming and suicides thanks to utterly out-of-touch conservative government(s) and mind-bogglingly short-sighted voters who were somehow convinced that a few hundred refugees were going to, in some utterly unexplained way, completely destroy the very fabric of society. Conservative parties the world over have spent this century proving they are utterly bereft. Bereft of anything other than disproven dogma.
I think it was the creator of "in the thick of it" who said that if they were to write a show with anything close to what's happening now, people would call it too farfetched...
Yes Thunderstruck. We don't have satire any more because the reality is just so gad damn mental you just couldn't write it...it writes it's self. Lizz Truss the prime minister gets lost in a room for instance...yep that really happened.
Spot on as always. Keep up the great job! I know you're a comedian, but like it or not you're providing a valuable service that no other media dares to try. Thank you
Usually I watch your videos with a grin and a nod of the head but this time you're so accurate, and with uncharacteristically less vitriol than expected, I just have a weight in the pit of my stomach and a quickening of my pulse. The country is fucked and we're not all coming out of this alive.
I felt the same. Its not funny anymore. Although I keep getting the last scene of "the young ones" playing in my head when musing this situation. The Tories are literally driving the tour bus off the cliff in one last hurrah before the next election they know they have already no chance to win. Unless we have a France style revolution outside Parliament and tell these "Ministers" (who are supposed to be elected to SERVE the people) they are all essentially in the bin and we want an entirely new way to represent the people, then I cant see anything changing, regardless of the colour of the party badge that is in number 10. Blue, Red, Yellow, wont matter. they are all Eton/Oxbridge allumni

And that, my friend, is the problem. Until the class system is destroyed, inequality will grow & flourish. In a just world Truss & Kwarteng would be indicted for crimes against the people and if guilty, incarcerated. That bitch is evil personified and as for Kwarteng, well… and I’m a middle class former Tory voter. Imagine how the less fortunate are feeling?
"Liz Truss's spokesman: we don't comment on market moves" - in other words, they take no responsibility for the consequences of their actions. They're determined to tank the economy come what may.

He did, and it is very serious. What he and the torries are talking about, is the infamous "trickle-down economics" excuse for the 1%. That is: It's ok for the rich to get richer, because they will spend and so you will get a job. The exact opposite is true: The richer someone becomes, the more he/she accumulates and the more he/she takes out of the economy? Why? It is unbelievably simple: Because the richer you are, the less you have to spend.
I do not think US television is ready for the high-octane vitriol and weapons-grade expletives with which Jonathan Pie delivers his commentaries on politics. See for yourself.

I can honestly say I in my 30 year career, I have noticed only one or two times I may have benefited from this trickle down Tory unicorn, and it was third hand and I had to work for it ... Now, I can't count the amount of times I have worked for worthy Lottery funded projects, who's money comes on the whole from the least well off in society, hoping to better their lives. And ladies and gentlemen, there you have it, the feudal Tory UK in the 21st century in a nutshell.

I can't help but think that it's not Truss and her crew that are the worst, it's the members of our society that keep voting them into power. They are the true enemies of the poor, how can they sleep at night?
the vote is that which the top elites decide to allow you to have, they choose, not you the voter. It is all a game, an act played within the theater of of life , all the world is their stage. The rest is indoctrination by early education and present mainstream media propaganda, GOVERNMENTS ALL AROUND THE WORLD ARE ADMINISTRATORS OF THE ONE ORDER MASTERS. The masters set the agenda , the bankers and elites sit in the balconies atop of their ivory towers and enjoy the show .it is their pleasure , it makes them feel good and mighty. Your vote is meaningless. YOU RECEIVE THE RESULT THE MASTERS COMMANDED. DESIRE, ARRANGE, CONTROL. THE ORDER COMES FROM ABOVE. Societies leaders are not the masters nor rulers of this planet, /world leadership are servants to the masters. = The big picture show is visible and real. The blind and the ignorant refuse to see it therefore do not know of it.
They sleep warm and cozy because it doesn't have any affect on their conscience. The way they see it, those who don't have enough are either too lazy to work hard for more or don't outright deserve it because they are "TRUE" Brittons. . .🙄 To put it simply these cretans keep voting to perpetuate their egos, bigotry, poor intelligence and lack of integrity. . . It's the same bollocks we get here in the US.
The UK was once a country that people aspired to be like. Rich, fair, clean, welcoming and open minded. Then the tories took over. Post 2008 crises, our gdp per capita (average income per person) hasnt grown, whilst countries like India and China grow ever more powerful ready to eat our lunch when it comes to business. Our gdp per capita would be even lower if we took out london from the mix and looked at the remaining areas. We have grown hateful against the poor, migrants, refugees, muslims, jews or anyone who doesnt look or feel like superfically. Our streets and motorways are covered is tons and tons and tons of litter. How can we save the earth if we cant even keep our roads and street clean. Council funding and other kinds of funding have been reduced and the departments responsible aren't being run properly. Not to forget all the pot holes, horrible traffic and grafitte on our streets. Why care what our comminities look and feel like outside of central london and the rich areas in every city? Fuck the poor is the attitude. Our rivers are being polluted by water companies, yet we allow them to take massive bonuses. Our energy infrastructure is weak and vunerable and no where near what it needs to be to become secure and green, and we need to go green, so that we can set the example of better future for all other countries, otherwise climate change will ravage our world. Look at the heat waves and floodings etc that keep happening, its just the start. But who gives a fuck, fuck the world and the kids, lets give bankers who crashed our economy in 2008 and put immense amount of debt and pressure on our public finances more money. After all we live to serve our city masters. Instead lets leave the biggest free trade market we have access to so that working people and middle earners lose what good jobs they had, so that we can be an independent nation again, rule britannia! Oh and who gives a shit about Nothern ireland and the good friday agreement, fuck all that. Fuck peace and prosperity. Whilst we are fucking everything elss, why not let us fuck with your health as well is the attitude and mood. So, lets gut the NHS for years (increasing spending only in line with inflation not demand), remove any pandemic response funding or plans, and when a pandemic does hit, let the NHS crumble for years to come and let the poor and middle earners who use the nhs die. Kill the poor, and instead lets give money to the top 1%. Lets gut the armed forces at the same time, why not, because terriorists, dictators and threats from China etc arent real. Who needs to remain a military power, after all the UK has no enemies in the world. Lets dismantle the welfare state, remove good regulations and leave the EU to create low wage economy where every has to work harder than ever yet still be called lazy. Lets remove the right to protest and remove all the other important rights people had so that the poor cant do shit but beg! Lets gut the trade union laws, who needs the right to peacefull strike? Fuck the tories!
I used to really enjoy watching The Thick Of It…..it was (at least I thought) close enough to reality to be semi-believable yet far enough from reality to be satirically funny. Then the events of 2016 onwards proved it was indistinguishable from reality and the enjoyment went out like a light. I wish I lived in a time when Jonathan Pie sat in the sweet spot of reality/satire that I once believed TTOI did.
I was thinking the same thing. Satire is much less amusing when it simply an accurate representation of the times. Just when you thought it couldn't possibly get any worse, along comes yet another era of insanity! Pie gets more material and we all get more cynical and depressed?
Agreed. Satire is dying because reality is too farcical to be funny anymore. There's some really objectively funny stuff out there parodying this... shower of a government, but I can't laugh at it because there's not enough of a gulf between the parody and reality now. Brilliant comedy shows like The Thick Of It don't work in this era because it's a tame documentary in comparison to what's happening in the corridors of power today.
Armando ianucci, the writer of the thick of it, recently went on record and said he couldn't write any more episodes of thick, because politics was so silly nowadays
@@Ian_Carolan you also stated V for Vendetta but a significant amount of people have allowed this to be. Would they not be the resistance to the resistance?🤔🙄😑

Thing is comedy should make you laugh, his words are so depressingly real, you want to despair at how bad our country has become in such a short space of time. you spend half your time if you don’t know who is is thinking is this a serious journalist caught off guard having a meltdown at how bad the situation has got! It is amazingly crafted.
I, as many on here, would be elated if Jonathan Pie put himself up for election. A true spokesman of and for the people. We could then be proud of this once great nation.

Imagine giving those earning £1m+ a year an extra £55,000 pa, and telling those on UC to work longer hours to make ends meet. Not just an immoral and heartless government but deeply sinister, even psychopathic.

Poor you. You honestly think that equation works. Sadly, I heard it repeated so many times on Friday, it looks like the majority of Labour MPs believe it too. If you earn a million a year, you're paying a clever tax accountant to make damn sure you don't pay 55 Grand in tax in the first place.
We need extra tax brackets, I realise people on £150k a year should be at the bottom of the priority list but why should people earning 3/20ths of what people earning 1m get be in the same tax bracket? Fine, leave it at 40-45% for now but charge 500k + even more.
Personally, I think we should focus more on taxes placed on luxury items. Increase VAT on luxury good/services bought and imported into the UK. Use that to subsidise slashing taxes on essentials like petrol, foodstuffs, basic clothing like jumpers, etc. Sounds unfair but I also think this should only apply to permanent residents in the UK, that way we avoid deterring tourists etc and continue to stimulate the financial incentives for people to come and work in the UK.
I saw a homeless person today and decided to help them so I went to the richest part of town and pushed a few hundred quid through the letterbox of the most expensive house I could find so that some of that would 'trickle down ' to the homeless person. This is Tory policy. 🙃

Yeah but Thatcher had to undo all that Labour had done first...so Truss is just new game plus - it's already been completed, just getting the extra's they miseed first time around!

Every now and again Pie hits god-level rant. This is one of them
If Jonathan started an actual news outlet. I'd watch it everyday
Thank you Mr Pie for voicing what every sentient British person should by now understand.
Agreed but there are way too many Zombies out there that still would vote for the wretched Tories
Sorry but voting in general has no meaning anymore, if we really want to put a stop to this then it has to be violence, the people need to rise up against our oppressors before it's too late.
Yet we do fuck all about it we need a fucking revalution!
We understand but we do fuck all about it. I would love to take part in a general strike so these absolute pigs can get their noses out the trough and Labour can think about actually being an opposition for once. This country suffered a lot the day the electorate turned their back on Corbyn.
i had a friend at school who continued to support the tories because he “didn’t believe all the bad stuff people said about them” haven’t spoke in years but wonder what he thinks now after seeing blatantly how they all acted during the pandemic
The only thing that's going to trickle down, is the tears on people's faces who cannot pay their bills and buy food. This has gone beyond choosing between 'heating and eating'.
When the rich tell you that the trickle down is beneficial for all... they're pissing down your back.
Why should anyone feel sorry for the poor who can’t pay bills or buy food etc? These people voted in the Conservative party in droves in 2019, despite having austerity inflicted upon them in the previous 9 years that the Tories were in office. The country is now paying for their stupidity and their gullibility.
I don’t blame the Tories for being Tories. It’s what they do. They’ve always been the party of utter bastards. I blame the poor. The stupid, idiotic poor who would prefer to let the Mail, Express and Sun do their thinking for them.
Nobody who knows shit about economics would ever use the phrase 'trickle down'.

Tears? That's optimistic. *_"Nine missed Meals"_* typically results in more than just some salty water being "shed"
I'm no British but your words are so powerful and connects to so many people
Frankly if you are not scared by Liz Truss you have not been paying attention. Bloody brilliant commentary
The woman called us all lazy scroungers when she thought we weren't listening.
What more do you need?
Frankly if you are not terrified of the Biden-Harris regime then you are a fool.
Be afraid be very afraid
We're doomed for the next 2-yrs .....
The Tory's cannot be reelected .... must not
Totally agree.
I knew Truss would destroy the country, I didn't think she would be able to do it so quickly.
WEF. All going to plan.
Tories destroyed the country poor liz is going to take the fall because she isn’t a real tory just a useful idiot
@@shitedog No need for conspiracies. Reality is bad enough already.
its in the name trustless
She's 100% Tory.
I'll send this to the tories I know just to watch them put their fingers in their ears and shout "Only rich people matter. Money is happiness" repeatedly. Insightful as ever Jonathan, thank you 🙏
I hate that the tories are voted in to "save the economy" but they never do, they just enhance the rich poor gap.
Moreover I hate that Labour are so consistently batshit that the choice is between The Tories fucking you like they always do or Labour inventing new and interesting ways to get fucked.
The absolute state of British democracy...
you gotta conclude in the end sadly a lot of the voting public are not too bright.
I mean they implemented lockdown’s, gave everyone benefits, shut down the economy, made people give up businesses. They have been the most socialized government in our history.
At this stage 'Labour' would be worse until Stayner Cartel is broken and scattered therevis no hope.
The ONLY reason labour won't get in is because of the woketopia they want to create. Fk the thought police. They want our culture gone and an open door immigration policy. Mean tweets are their highest priority.
So that the choice, be poor or be woke.
I'd be laughing if it wasn't so horrifyingly true.
I’m laughing because it’s true. Just hope the muppets voting for this scam are watching.
I like your pfp
Honestly I’m an American politics nerd granted and not too familiar with Jon pie but I know of his work with the New York Times, that’s the first time I’ve actually ever cried over UK politics (I cry over US weekly) it’s just so appalling your government has been reduced to these terrible people that are rigid and set to make the rich richer and the poor poorer, now of all times, it’s complete insanity, class warfare, and it makes me terribly sad, stay safe over there y’all, love from America ❤❤
This is not to demean Tom Walker (Jonathan Pie is pure genius) but it's not comedy, it's heartwrenching. It brings tears to my eyes and I haven't lived in the UK for the last 16 years.
lucky you
Satire is dead. Fascism is on the rise throughout Europe. The right has given up the pretence that they aren't the scum they always have been.
Lucky bastard
dunno, its pretty fucking funny tory mp's are already talking to journalists about the 1922 committee and when the letters should go in...after 2 weeks of this shit show...n kwartengs new nickname, kamikwarsi
you'll get over it
In 2010 the NHS had it's highest satisfaction rating ever wait times were 2 days for a doctors appointment. Then the Tories took over and now in 2022 they are aiming to get waits down to 2 weeks as at the moment it is months.
Yet people are only just seeing the writing on the wall.... we knew back then they would destroy this country....
Specialists are a longer wait.
The tories plan is to starve the NHS of funding so waiting times go up and quality of treatment goes down, this will cause people to be dissatisfied and angry with the NHS so the tories can privatise it and claim they're doing it for the public good.
2 weeks? u cant even see GP in 2 weeks
@@Slots-Room If you're lucky enough to live in a smaller borough or village your wait can be quicker, but god help you if you live in a busy city.A routine appointment is usually 4-6 weeks absolute minimum.
It's rare that I'm moved by a single word...
But that "LIES!" was brilliant, in context and the pure sound of it, the roughness of it like his voice is being dragged across sandpaper because he's carrying the voice of the nation
The way Mr. Pie says lies is the sound of pure honesty and truth backed by anger, resentment against the government and with the whole country behind him. I wish I had the same enthusiasm as Pie.
Truth
And yet that same nation keeps voting these same people, this same party, back in.
Frighteningly accurate...and that's what keeps me awake at night.
Does anyone else remember when we laughed at these videos. I spend more time rubbing my face in despair. It's gone from humour to actual facts. JP, the only honest person in Westminster's postcode
Thank Tom Walker, the man "behind" Pie.
I'm as angry as Pie. But tired, so tired. And the government relies on our fatigue to keep is docile.
If you ever laughed at this video, something is wrong with you. He's been on the point all these years. He wasn't joking. I watched in despair that people thought he was joking.
Thats the problem right there.. this man has been screaming his message for years and people think its not serious. Its always been serious and its always been based on facts
Never was satire so absolutely spot on as the truth.
Depressingly hilarious
The saddest thing about this is that it's exactly what Starmer should be screaming
He needs to be angry
He's as Tory and Thatcherite as they come. Things won't improve for most people under Labour, they'll just get worse a bit slower than under Tory. The NHS is screwed under both with both Starmer and Streeting being financed by people with links to US health corporations (United Health)
Gordon Brown started austerity crisis when 2008 happened. Starmer to me it's so much worse than gordon brown or tony blair (expect for his criminal war). If anything, he's cheering this silently and if labour do get into power, mark my words they'll push whatever liz truss is pushing.
@@CowmanUK He's really demonstrably not a Thatcherite. Do you even know what that word means? He just announced reinstating the higher tax rate band and creating a state owned energy corporation, how does that come across as Thatcherite in your mind?
He's not there to win he's there to further the agenda of the people who control both major parties
The most disturbing thing about that rant is the almost complete lack of hyperbole. I listened to it again looking for any which was not literally true. In this case, speaking the truth is more damning than any lie or exaggeration could be.
"It's as if the phrase 'Gaslighting' was created for this very situation..." well they are trying to knock the worst paid back to Victorian levels of poverty.
PS. Sir, you are an absolute legend, cutting edge and inciteful.
I realise that Pie was a satirical character originally, but he doesn't even need to be now. It's insane how apt this character is for the political chaos we're forced to witness
It's a decade or more, now, since real life started to move beyond satire. By the end of 2016 the transformation was complete.
An eerily accurate summation Jamie Robinson.
Unfortunately this tends to happen. The Daily Show ended with more in-depth coverage by the time Jon Stewart left. (Unclear since then, as they gave up being funny, so I stopped watching).
Humour is a great way to keep listeners involved.
When was he satirical though? He was always basically a regular political commentator with the tone played up to angryfunny but otherwise playing it 100% straight in content.
@@abdulmasaiev9024 He was and is satirizing a regular political commentator.
This has got to be the scariest video Pie has ever posted. Most videos are funny and satirical one liners around laughable issues, however this one definitely feels different. It’s terrifying
Scariest... but likely only until the next one.
It should be.
The UK is one step behind the USA if that! Take it from this expat- 😮
Really feels like the poor are being reduced to soylent green to feed the rich.
Every word he said is true very frightening
That was hard to watch, so bloody painful. You usually make me laugh Mr Pie!
I can't say how bad I'm feeling for the British people today. The LNP was bad for Australia the last 9 years, then we changed it.
You need to do the same, for the love of humanity.
ANY chance you get to do that prior to the next scheduled election, go for it, you can't WAIT for change......
It isn’t that truss destroyed the economy that surprised me, it’s that she’s done it so fast that has me stunned.
Or the daily mail..brain washes the stupid to believe her.
But it has not just happened quickly or is just Lizzy that is the problem, the Tory over privileged clown brigade have been allowed destroy the U.K. while everyone does nothing to stop the never ending shit-show. Any other country would have been at civil war status with a fraction of what these parasites have been let get away with for the last 12 years. This latest betrayal of human decency is a bucket of petrol on an already Inferno and the British public do nothing to stop it. The Tory Government are like a dictatorship, with zero regard and no consequences with an apathetic down trodden public relying on food banks to not starve to death. While the Tory party strip the country of all its wealth and pissing themselves laughing at just how easy it is and not even having the decency to hide it.
Guessing it was oven ready
All she had to do was exist, the market did the rest

There isn't much left to flog Mike, actually I don't think there is anything left except public buildings the military and what's left of the NHS.
No doubt they will flog them all on the cheap, and make a few bob whilst getting a boardroom slot and overseeing the massive charge to rent the stuff back !
Once again, just in the nick of time, Pie appears to make sense of it all. What a shame its not so much comedy as real political analysis?
That is what I thought so on the nail it's frightening...!!
@@jimsmith4611 Since 2016 the most accurate UK political analysis has come from a satirist doing hysterical comic polemics. Even the swearing and ridiculous, obscene similies seem entirely justified (my favourite was when he called BJ a 'blithering sack of vicious custard').
My concern is that things seem to keep getting worse! Pie has more and more potential content every time the politicians announce a policy, a plan, an attitude or a pledge.
The problem with satire and comedy in these times is, that there is no room left for both. You just can't come up with a funny exaggeration anymore. It is kind of like trying to make a joke about a child soldier blowing another child soldiers arm off while training with an assault rifle. Whatever you would try, it wouldn't be funny. It would just be either true or tasteless - and most often it would be both. There is no potential for satire or comedy in this world's politics.
@@Oktokolo Nowadays Pie's humour seems to come from enacting a kind of manic exasperation at the extemity of it all. Or a hysterical and angry rejection of the implied immorality. Certainly, gentle parody doesn't seem cutting enough for such extreme times?
I understand your analogy but I would compare it to trying to put out a burning bag of dog shit by repeatedly stamping on it. It is funny to watch someone else doing it but it is a very dirty business when its your bag or your foot!
Jonathan Pie, we need you right now!!!!!
You know it's a great time to be alive when the most trusthworthy and unbiased news reports come from comedians.

I used to laugh at his video. This one made me cry. He got me at hungry children and shivering grandma. He got it so right and his anger that reels through this population. 😢
This is how I wish the media would actually report the news. I agree with every word in this video and my husband and I have been ranting to each other about new government (since there isn't anyone else here to rant to) ever since Truss okayed all those fracking licences under cover of the Queen's death.
A really big earthquake that splits Scotland from the rest of us, caused by fracking would be a bit of a laugh, No one hurt of course otherwise it wouldn't be funny at all.
@@iamrocketray maybe slightly , lol
The news reporter we all wanted but never got.
Amazing this never gets old or becomes a tired schtick. I think a TV show would do that, so keep us wanting more.
This needs to be on mainstream, prime-time TV
I think fewer people would be watching it under that system
This isn't a piss-take, it's a bloody documentary!! Great video .. 😜
The most terrifyingly true comedy you've done to date. This should be broadcast at 6pm on BBC1.
Wonderful as ever.
Thank you Mr Pie.
A comedian playing the role of a journalist is one of the few that can openly tell the truth under the guise of satire.
He's an Actor not a comedian, I had the unplanned fortune tonight to actually get to see the play he's in at the moment. I worry he might be a little bit type cast, but on stage I must say he is equally amazing as he is in these videos.
Brass eye.
This is the best honest and real reporting I’ve ever heard…. Thankyou Mr Pie…… 💚
We all so need Pie's voice of reason at this point in human history. We've entered the age of Social Entropy and we need more brave voices like his.
And yet we've had him saying the same thing for TWELVE YEARS
No we don't need voices we need unions, rioting, civil disobedience on a countrywide scale and an actual party of opposition.
Be in no doubt, we face an existential threat in this country from the Truss administration and the interests that have elevated it into power
Brilliant ! I think Johnathan Pie should run for our new Prime Minister he’s got my vote.
I feel like a lot of the humour has gone from Pie's vids over the years and I think it's simply because Tom is finding it harder to joke about the state of things now. It's just all unremittingly grim and the impact of Conservative actions are becoming more and more apparent to the point that even a good number of Conservative voters are finding it hard to ignore (because they're not THAT well off and suddenly what was only impacting the very poorest is now impacting them).
Don't get me wrong though, Tom's videos are still as vital as ever.
No, it's because the writer who actually penned a lot of Pie's best jokes left a few years back so what's left is just anger and creative swear words. Not that there isn't a call for creative swear-words mind you. Though sadly it's gonna take more than a good roast to drive the entire political class of Labour, Tories, Lib Dems, SNP, etc. back into the depths of the ocean where they to a man belong.
It isn't just the UK. Australia saw a lost decade of climate change denialism and poor-blaming, shaming and suicides thanks to utterly out-of-touch conservative government(s) and mind-bogglingly short-sighted voters who were somehow convinced that a few hundred refugees were going to, in some utterly unexplained way, completely destroy the very fabric of society.
Conservative parties the world over have spent this century proving they are utterly bereft. Bereft of anything other than disproven dogma.
I think it was the creator of "in the thick of it" who said that if they were to write a show with anything close to what's happening now, people would call it too farfetched...
Yes Thunderstruck. We don't have satire any more because the reality is just so gad damn mental you just couldn't write it...it writes it's self. Lizz Truss the prime minister gets lost in a room for instance...yep that really happened.
It's because the government is now a parody of its self and we can no longer see the line between a joke and reality as they go hand in hand.
You've got to love this guy and how much truth he speaks 😊
This is what they should show on the 10 o’clock news, so many true words with no BS and “formality”
Spot on as always. Keep up the great job!
I know you're a comedian, but like it or not you're providing a valuable service that no other media dares to try. Thank you
Usually I watch your videos with a grin and a nod of the head but this time you're so accurate, and with uncharacteristically less vitriol than expected, I just have a weight in the pit of my stomach and a quickening of my pulse. The country is fucked and we're not all coming out of this alive.
My thoughts exactly
I felt the same.
I felt the same. Its not funny anymore. Although I keep getting the last scene of "the young ones" playing in my head when musing this situation. The Tories are literally driving the tour bus off the cliff in one last hurrah before the next election they know they have already no chance to win.
Unless we have a France style revolution outside Parliament and tell these "Ministers" (who are supposed to be elected to SERVE the people) they are all essentially in the bin and we want an entirely new way to represent the people, then I cant see anything changing, regardless of the colour of the party badge that is in number 10. Blue, Red, Yellow, wont matter. they are all Eton/Oxbridge allumni

And that, my friend, is the problem. Until the class system is destroyed, inequality will grow & flourish. In a just world Truss & Kwarteng would be indicted for crimes against the people and if guilty, incarcerated. That bitch is evil personified and as for Kwarteng, well… and I’m a middle class former Tory voter. Imagine how the less fortunate are feeling?
Jonathan is so accurate I had a bit of a cry.

That "LIES!" was from the heart and soul and so full of hatred and vitriol it hit hard
Normally at some point I burst out laughing during a Pie video, but this one felt like Tom meant every bloody word.
He did, and it is very serious. What he and the torries are talking about, is the infamous "trickle-down economics" excuse for the 1%. That is: It's ok for the rich to get richer, because they will spend and so you will get a job. The exact opposite is true: The richer someone becomes, the more he/she accumulates and the more he/she takes out of the economy? Why? It is unbelievably simple: Because the richer you are, the less you have to spend.
He always means every word. These diatribes exist for a reason.
Any chance us Americans can borrow this gent for a night or two as a guest correspondent on The Daily Show? 😄
I do not think US television is ready for the high-octane vitriol and weapons-grade expletives with which Jonathan Pie delivers his commentaries on politics. See for yourself. This is Jonathan on "Trump's Last Day" (Biden's Inaugeration Day) and he doesn't pull his punches! ua-cam.com/video/tvcwMcGWf-w/v-deo.html
This is not comedy. This is not satire. This is TRUTH. Preach it, Tom!
It's good to have him back, and not a moment too late
I feel like we need a new Pie video now more than ever! (Truss implosion at time of writing)
I just re-watched this... Man, you called it. Prophetic, sadly.
And now add the Braverman debacle...
I never thought I'd hear MY thoughts being expressed so well.

@@danielcrafter9349I suppose as JP is a satirical newsreader character it might have something to do with it but please keep me inculcated with your razor sharp mind.
@@danielcrafter9349 "the use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues."

I always ask myself: "Is Tom Walker (an actor) acting or is he really that angry!?" Either way - if it is acting, it is first class and if he really is that angry, it is the most furious and eloquent anger I have ever heard. Every Jonathan Pie video is an event!
Both of him are angry.
I've seen an interview where he's asked how much their characters overlap and the first thing Tom said is "he's more angry than I am".
A good actor, good camera work. Great idea.
Not the comedian we deserve, but certainly the comedian we need in times like these.
He is exactly the the comedian we deserve. We have been complicite in these f***ers being in power far too long.

I'm very happy for the rich getting their nice tax break and it's great that bankers able to get obscene bonuses again.

Thank you Mister Pie. Your act is true and it's the voice of a lot of people's anger
I can honestly say I in my 30 year career, I have noticed only one or two times I may have benefited from this trickle down Tory unicorn, and it was third hand and I had to work for it ... Now, I can't count the amount of times I have worked for worthy Lottery funded projects, who's money comes on the whole from the least well off in society, hoping to better their lives.
And ladies and gentlemen, there you have it, the feudal Tory UK in the 21st century in a nutshell.
Why is Jonathan Pie not on Question Time every episode? More real than real!
Here to post my hope for a quick take by Pie on the news about Truss today. I can already hear his reaction.
I'm more interested in his take on Krishnan Guru-Murthy getting suspended for calling Steve Baker a C**t off air. This whole show is ''what would news readers say when off air'. Turns out Pie would be suspended. SMH
Spot on, as ever. Wish you were an opposition politician! You always say what needs to be said.
I can't help but think that it's not Truss and her crew that are the worst, it's the members of our society that keep voting them into power. They are the true enemies of the poor, how can they sleep at night?
the vote is that which the top elites decide to allow you to have, they choose, not you the voter. It is all a game, an act played within the theater of of life , all the world is their stage. The rest is indoctrination by early education and present mainstream media propaganda, GOVERNMENTS ALL AROUND THE WORLD ARE ADMINISTRATORS OF THE ONE ORDER MASTERS. The masters set the agenda , the bankers and elites sit in the balconies atop of their ivory towers and enjoy the show .it is their pleasure , it makes them feel good and mighty. Your vote is meaningless. YOU RECEIVE THE RESULT THE MASTERS COMMANDED. DESIRE, ARRANGE, CONTROL. THE ORDER COMES FROM ABOVE. Societies leaders are not the masters nor rulers of this planet, /world leadership are servants to the masters. = The big picture show is visible and real. The blind and the ignorant refuse to see it therefore do not know of it.
They sleep warm and cozy because it doesn't have any affect on their conscience. The way they see it, those who don't have enough are either too lazy to work hard for more or don't outright deserve it because they are "TRUE" Brittons. . .🙄
To put it simply these cretans keep voting to perpetuate their egos, bigotry, poor intelligence and lack of integrity. . .
It's the same bollocks we get here in the US.
Only we didn't vote for this particular spawn of Satan.
Or her chosen minions.
They are victims of endless propoganda (funded by billionaires) and a struggling education system.
The UK was once a country that people aspired to be like. Rich, fair, clean, welcoming and open minded. Then the tories took over.
Post 2008 crises, our gdp per capita (average income per person) hasnt grown, whilst countries like India and China grow ever more powerful ready to eat our lunch when it comes to business.
Our gdp per capita would be even lower if we took out london from the mix and looked at the remaining areas.
We have grown hateful against the poor, migrants, refugees, muslims, jews or anyone who doesnt look or feel like superfically.
Our streets and motorways are covered is tons and tons and tons of litter. How can we save the earth if we cant even keep our roads and street clean. Council funding and other kinds of funding have been reduced and the departments responsible aren't being run properly. Not to forget all the pot holes, horrible traffic and grafitte on our streets. Why care what our comminities look and feel like outside of central london and the rich areas in every city? Fuck the poor is the attitude.
Our rivers are being polluted by water companies, yet we allow them to take massive bonuses.
Our energy infrastructure is weak and vunerable and no where near what it needs to be to become secure and green, and we need to go green, so that we can set the example of better future for all other countries, otherwise climate change will ravage our world. Look at the heat waves and floodings etc that keep happening, its just the start. But who gives a fuck, fuck the world and the kids, lets give bankers who crashed our economy in 2008 and put immense amount of debt and pressure on our public finances more money. After all we live to serve our city masters.
Instead lets leave the biggest free trade market we have access to so that working people and middle earners lose what good jobs they had, so that we can be an independent nation again, rule britannia! Oh and who gives a shit about Nothern ireland and the good friday agreement, fuck all that. Fuck peace and prosperity.
Whilst we are fucking everything elss, why not let us fuck with your health as well is the attitude and mood. So, lets gut the NHS for years (increasing spending only in line with inflation not demand), remove any pandemic response funding or plans, and when a pandemic does hit, let the NHS crumble for years to come and let the poor and middle earners who use the nhs die. Kill the poor, and instead lets give money to the top 1%.
Lets gut the armed forces at the same time, why not, because terriorists, dictators and threats from China etc arent real. Who needs to remain a military power, after all the UK has no enemies in the world.
Lets dismantle the welfare state, remove good regulations and leave the EU to create low wage economy where every has to work harder than ever yet still be called lazy.
Lets remove the right to protest and remove all the other important rights people had so that the poor cant do shit but beg!
Lets gut the trade union laws, who needs the right to peacefull strike?
Fuck the tories!
I used to really enjoy watching The Thick Of It…..it was (at least I thought) close enough to reality to be semi-believable yet far enough from reality to be satirically funny. Then the events of 2016 onwards proved it was indistinguishable from reality and the enjoyment went out like a light. I wish I lived in a time when Jonathan Pie sat in the sweet spot of reality/satire that I once believed TTOI did.
I was thinking the same thing. Satire is much less amusing when it simply an accurate representation of the times. Just when you thought it couldn't possibly get any worse, along comes yet another era of insanity! Pie gets more material and we all get more cynical and depressed?
Agreed. Satire is dying because reality is too farcical to be funny anymore. There's some really objectively funny stuff out there parodying this... shower of a government, but I can't laugh at it because there's not enough of a gulf between the parody and reality now. Brilliant comedy shows like The Thick Of It don't work in this era because it's a tame documentary in comparison to what's happening in the corridors of power today.
Yes minister and yes prime minister are also pretty good at political satire!
Its gone beyond satire ,politicians are self saterising no one seems to notice its becoming the norm😡.
Armando ianucci, the writer of the thick of it, recently went on record and said he couldn't write any more episodes of thick, because politics was so silly nowadays
This need to be broadcasted on all channels and radios on repeat so that people wake up.
The irony that this is Jonathan Pie: Fake news , when in fact he provides the most accurate description on the UK political scene.
Its probably not your aim, JP, but sometimes the goosebumps you give me turn into tears. What have these b'stards done to us?
Nothing more than that which we have allowed them to.
V for Vendetta.
@@Ian_Carolan you also stated V for Vendetta but a significant amount of people have allowed this to be. Would they not be the resistance to the resistance?🤔🙄😑
I think the simple term is 'screwed us!' How is it possible that when Bumbling Boris gets the boot the richest elite in the land get to choose the nations leader, and the one who will feather their very downy nests further, without another election?
What they ALWAYS do
Every time
Please look at history and Right-wing economics
@@bravoalley228- but if you want to know who's guilty... you need only look in a mirror
Beautifully crafted piece of comedy/real life Jonathan. Thank you.
Thing is comedy should make you laugh, his words are so depressingly real, you want to despair at how bad our country has become in such a short space of time. you spend half your time if you don’t know who is is thinking is this a serious journalist caught off guard having a meltdown at how bad the situation has got! It is amazingly crafted.
We can’t wait to see your next video!
I, as many on here, would be elated if Jonathan Pie put himself up for election. A true spokesman of and for the people. We could then be proud of this once great nation.
When Johnson 'resigned' so many foolishly hoped the worst period of modern Tory 'governance' was over.
WHO COULD POSSIBLY BE WORSE!
Can only assume they weren't paying attention to the support Johnson received from his party throughout his Premiership & they'd never heard the phrase...
NEVER TRUST A TORY!
Me every General Election/Party leadership election: This is the worst Prime Minister
The Conservative membership: Worst Prime Minister so far...
Oh how I’ve missed you, Mr Pie. Nail on the head as per.
Spot on, Mr Pie. Brilliant, as usual!
Wow, what a man you are. Jonathan you have restored my state of mind, it was so reassuring to hear you saying what I've been so angry about, I'm fu88ing furious with these gangsters. Keep the rant going, it keeps me sane.
Keep rockin' Gus. Luv ya' x
And here we are a couple of weeks later, and it's been too much of a clusterfuck to even joke about.
Pie has always been able to capture my exact feelings for this government, only in a more polite and coherent way.
