What's even more annoying is the number of Brexiters that are still saying "They didn't tell us Brexit would be like this." Except they were told EXACTLY what it would be like, but they didn't like hearing that bit, so they still voted for it anyway. Well done.
💯% agree. They chose to listen to a proven liar (Boris) because they wanted his lies to be true, and to paint those pointing out obvious truths as ‘Project Fear’. And of course the more xenophobic ones said they would vote for Brexit even if it _harmed_ the country, just so they could get their stupid blue passports and mythical ‘sovereignty’ and keep Johnny Foreigner out. Well hasn’t that worked out well for us. God I loathe them, and Cameron most of all for calling the referendum just to try and save his own career.

Yes the anti-brexit campaigners of course told us that Brexit would be bad. Brexiteers believed the pro-brexit campaigners instead. And at the time the media treated them as if they were campaigning to go into government and in a position to make promises about how it would be, rather than merely campaigning for a certain decision in a referendum with no special authority to say what would happen after they won.
There was s*** slinging on both sides. Never in my life have I witnesses such an absolute shambles of a referendum. Lies and mistruths were flying in both directions. All I remember is not wanting to turn on the bloody tv because of all the hostility, slander, venomous attitudes and just being completely ignorant of other people opinions. That 4 years was horrific and I hope to god we don't have to go through anything like that ever again. I feel it needs reiterating, This was happening on BOTH sides of the argument.
"Sunak The Wet: A man who literally doesn't have the sense to come in from the rain." Way to stick the landing, John. Perfect way to end the show and end the cruel Tory regime.

To be fair, there was a way to go about it that would have been less of an issue. Trade would always take a pretty big hit, but it would have been more manageable. All it would have taken was action and responsibility. Instead, they waited like 5 years to green light impact reports, then ignored their recommendations and did nothing. Then they triggered the article that gave a hard "We're out date" and continued to do nothing and ignoring reports of what needed to happen to mitigate the damage. It wasn't until the last like 4 months before the Brexit date that they actually started scrambling to look like they were doing something to prevent the complete fucking of the UK. They still barely did anything. But if they had taken their time before starting the exit process, did thorough studies and took preparatory actions, they could have come out of Brexit in decent standing, as opposed to laughingstock hemorrhaging GDP growth.

Remember in the London 2012 Olympics ceremony when there was a whole segment paying tribute to the NHS? It seems the UK said “thank you NHS we love you!” and then spent the next decade absolutely decimating it.
I used to re-watch the 2012 Opening Ceremony every few years but I just can’t face it now. 2012 felt like such a positive thing, as if the UK had grabbed the chance to really show its best side. The ceremony was such a high point, an unapologetically British celebration of our past and present, full of wit, inventiveness and open-minded good humour. It just breaks my heart to think how not long after that we swerved completely in the other direction into petty-minded exceptionalism, jealousy and petulance. What an opportunity wasted. As regards the NHS, the cuts have been a false economy. We are left with crumbling hospital infrastructure which will cost far more to replace now than if pre-2010 spending had been maintained. The economic damage caused by people being unable to work while they wait for treatment runs into billions and the extended wait means those people are less likely to return to work when finally treated. Cuts to social care mean that many people spend longer in hospital than they need to, which is vastly more expensive than the missing social care would have been. Austerity has caused untold misery and has been a total failure in terms of bringing down the national debt, the thing it was supposedly designed to do. I’m not wildly excited at the prospect of Labour taking over but surely, surely they can’t be any worse?

Actually if you look for a video of the olympic torch in Bath you can see me with a friend running behind the torch in the crowd.

The USA being the only foreign country I´ve ever visited before, I thought I would be bankrupt for a throat infection, but to my surprise I ended up paying just 7 pounds for medication and that was it. It really shocked me to see how things went so shortly after I came back to my country.

It’s worse in the US. But it’s also incorrect reporting. I am in the UK, we do have issues with the NHS here but “If you have a medical condition or physical disability, you are allowed free NHS prescriptions”. Also, “You are eligible for a free prescription if you are 60 or over, are under 16 or 16 to 18 and in full-time education. are pregnant or have had a baby in the previous 12 months” per the NHS website. Also, all birth control is free to all women. If that person believes they are unable to afford their prescriptions, they need to get help from somebody.

People at my work were talking about brexit when it was first announced. One of the girls said she voted the way her mum told her too, and she didn’t understand the fuss. I told her that as an immigrant myself, it could affect my ability to stay in the country. Given the look on her face, I think it was the first time it dawned on her that her choices do in fact have consequences.
Every EU citizen living in the UK at the time was given the right to stay. In fact even those who arrived right up until 2020, long after the referendum, had that right to stay. So what exactly were your circumstances that you couldn't apply to stay? In fact then PM Theresa May said, shortly after the referendum, that people's status should not become a political bargaining tool and uncertain for years and she would formally give all EU citizens then in the UK the right to stay effective immediately if the EU reciprocated for UK citizens living in the EU. The EU refused, and so those rights did become a bargaining tool and people like you were left in limbo for several years.
@@karlbassett8485 I was in fact able to stay. But there was a great deal of uncertainty, particularly in the beginning. Given that I’d lived and worked in the country for many years, I also believed that I always had a good chance to stay.

Those choices are now affecting many people.
@@Aussieloz1 I could make the exact argument about those who voted to JOIN the EU in the first place without knowing or realising what it would entail. We were told the then Common Market was just a simple free trade free movement deal, and we'd always be able to veto anything we didn't like. Then a few decades later governments gave away those vetos without asking us, consulting us, getting an election mandate, nothing. We agreed to join a nice simple free trade deal and found out a few decades later we were in a political union. Had people in the early seventies better educated themselves and realised what they were voting for chances are we would never have joined.
@@karlbassett8485 people have far fewer excuses these days with easy access to information. And given how much the world has since changed since the 70s, would isolating Britain from the continent, really have improved its prosperity? Small businesses have been adversely affected as opposed to large multinational companies who take their profits out of the country, how is that good for the economy? I don’t pretend to understand politics, the economy, nor how the EU operates, I have duel nationality but was born and raised in Australia, I therefore never grew up with it. But I’ve definitely heard a number of stories about people who voted in favour of brexit because of immigration. I’ve also heard immigrants who have lived in and contributed to the country for many years who were approached in the days after brexit by people telling them it was time to pack their bags as they weren’t welcome anymore. How are attitudes like that ever a good reason to vote to leave the EU? As long as they were a part of the EU, Britain had the benefit of being able to affect change. They can’t exactly do that now can they?
What's absolutely insane is those of us who were alive in the 80s remember how so many people worshipped Reagan as the best president ever. Because stuff.

I am a Brit living in America. Watching John Oliver telling the Tories to get stuffed on the 4th of July in a rain storm is the most patriotic I've ever felt. Joking aside, it's really scary for me watching this episode. I think it's a fairly big sign of how bad it is that when he was talking about the situation the laughter completely died off. It really has been that bad. But worse, austerity and brexit kinda broke something in the UK. We had a society that looked after our own, no matter how down they were there was help for them. The Tories took that away, while blaming the people who needed the help the most as benefit scammers.

Yeah, I'm sorry mate. It is so sad Ireland and France are fucked too It's like everything is happening on a global scale at the same time. Wow, the wef is scarey

I salute that for his unbelievable amount of will power *not* to punch him; that is a man with real strength. 07
@AzadHind572 Does that make any difference? India has BJP solely due to hindu nationalism and USA's GOP is literally allowing teaching of biblical theories of origin of species instead of evolution theory in states like Florida (delete this bloody state already). Religion in UK might be intrinsic to the country but any strongman willing enough can hyperfocus the biggest minority anyway, be it caste, religion, race or whatever. It's the same reason as why america has the 2nd ammendment, India still has reservation based on minority status instead of income.

I hope John Oliver never retires! One of the best shows out there, and I just love that bit of British-ness that he can't shake even if he wanted to. He's always on point, and manages to sprinkle even the most dire topics with a bit of fun. ❤
To make it even more crazy, May her deal was better economically for the UK then Johnson his deal. But it would have made UK more connected to the EU. She was undermined by Johnson and hardline Torries, lost her position and then they came with their shit deal.
Lithuanian here, we're not sure why the Tony Soprano statue is here either, but it is huge, it's in our capital's central train station and there's a pretty cool bar beside it. People from New Jersey are more than welcome.
As someone originally from New Jersey, I had never thought about visiting Lithuania before, but now I am actually curious to. Hopefully I'll get out there sometime!
Jon Oliver and the whole staff, especially the writers, deserve worldwide recognition for this show. I can honestly say it's one of the most important things on any medium. Actual facts, actual news, and some solutions. Where else do you get that?
Well... I can think of few. PBS News Hour. PBS Frontline. Tons of reporting on AP wire should be celebrated. Plus, most government agencies (EPA, NOAA, FDA, etc.) and think tanks (Brookings, Heritage, JSTOR, etc.) have channels as well. Not to mention LOCAL journalism and university based publishing in U.S., all of this is often quite poignantly fact based and yes, I understand the larger entities that are often involved with that news. But still, there's endless ways to find the answers. To be clear I'm not disagreeing with the value of this programming, but there's alot of hard-working people out there. Alot. And I guess I'm in agreement and also broadening the shout-out. On all levels international, national, or local in U.S. there's more than enough factual info available and I hope that even a small dose of curiosity bears that truth out. Ginning it all up for an HBO production is important but don't lose sight of the industry behind this show, as well as the chance to find said-same info out on your own.

Boris is the kind of bastard who lies reflexively, attempting to bend reality to his desire. Truth, integrity, common decency, these principles of civilised life mean nothing to that pillock.
Dude the worst thing any person can do, is take Boris Johnson seriously.. Just don't he's like Trump. Otherwise you would be left without any IQ. And seriously, plan?? No friend, when someone talks like that he has no plan at all he just said first thing that came to his head which made it quite clear it's literally empty.
Starting from the trembling hands all the way to the pouring rain in the end, my eyes are constantly filled with tears. John really cares about his own people.
Indeed. He didn't even comment about this hideous Salvation Army duffel-coat the minister was wearing while explaining that the second time he looked at porn, it was deliberate, but the first one was an accident.
John is a typical English "intellectual" in that he hates his own country. George Orwell wrote in The Lion And The Unicorn back in the 1940s that no other country is hated by its own intelligentsia as in England.
That was one of the most revealing episodes about who Johnson is. He's not just a serial liar, he's a compulsive liar. He lies even when there's no advantage to lying, when the lie is completely implausible, when the lie is damaging to him. It's like he gets a thrill out of lying to people.
this is partly what comes from having this class system....the king, queen biz needs to go.. it needed to be removed from british life eons ago....the poor/uneducated have been so brainwashed to embrace the lives of those who do nothing but harm to them and the world by re-affirming nonsensical evil.. saudi rabia has monarchy, so do many other countries...if the british would come out of this torpor ..the rest of the world may be able to come out of theirs? bad example in a country that has no excuse really for living in medieval ages....
The sole reason he and others of his ilk can get away with this is total control of the media. Mass propaganda, it won't matter how many people see through the bullshit, there will always be enough who don't. Maybe you can't fool all the people all the time, but that's ok if you can fool most of the people every time.
I'm convinced that there are places in the UK where you can go 10km to the next village over and need a translator. Some British accents are freaking wild
He puts on a specific posh accent. There’s more than one. Same way Jon Stewart puts on a Noo Joisey accent and a Jewish American accent despite being a Jewish American from New Jersey. Or others put on over-the-top “darn tootin’” ‘Murrican accents despite being American.

On RUclips I watched a segment like this podcast, then I do a little scrolling and usually find the whole show, and that also works for the Bill Maher show. You can't Define some people by the country, they are Universal citizens

John Oliver is a snarky twat. Even when he has good takes, it's hard to not pull against him because of his knowitall attitude. He could do with a large dose of grace and humility.

I read an article on how the UK basically destroyed half of its local libraries for and it filled me with such rage. Truly a lack of appreciation the services they provide.
Libraries are run and funded by local councils not the central government. And a lot of local councils are run by Labour, the LibDems, SNP etc rather than the Tories.
@@karlbassett8485 This is _such_ a misunderstanding of local government. Libraries are funded by councils, but a lot of councils' funding comes from the central government, and has been slashed in budget after budget under the Tories, and councils make up the shortfall by cutting back or closing services like local libraries which they aren't legally required to provide. As for why the Tories don't run many councils, that's because Tory councillors kept getting _voted out because their party is wildly unpopular_ !
@@lucretialiciniagaiaerikaju3204 The vast majority of funding for councils is council tax, plus business rates. For my council government funding is well under 10%. That is not "a lot" and councils can raise council tax if they think their residents want those services.
That's the problem about a real idiocracy. It's not like in the movie, in real life when idiocy became the ruler, social constructs would be the first victims, and weak people the first to be swept away.
This is what happens when you give conservatives power. Idk what people were expecting to happen, but it’s never a good thing when the pendulum swings to the right. Especially when it’s on purpose.
Honestly, I hate being back in the UK after growing up in the US. UK is super strict on many things, it's just irritating. Driving for example, get caught speeding late at night on an empty motorway in the UK and the police will throw the book at you. In the US my experience was the opposite. Cops will write down a lower number/use a bit of common sense... I.e. not screw you for speeding when it's quiet and there's noone around
It's a reminder of what the end state of all conservative politics are in every country in which they are tried. Poor and starving people, imploding economy, but at least the rich get tax breaks.
I remember the UK in the late 90s and early aughties… There was so much positivity and cheer (yes, in Britain!). Scotland held on for longer, but Brexit, that really broke shit. There is an amount of grim resignation that is almost Weimar Republic level.
Could not leave the screen.. guy is unbelievable. Since I am Romanian/therefore European, I was saddened by both Brexit and the state of affairs of UK. There still are a lot of my conationals there...
I'm sure your saddened because you won't be able to collect welfare there like the 2million immigrants that arrived. "I am Romanian/therefore European"... debatable.
My aunt was Romanian in the UK! She married my dad's brother. Unfortunately she passed from MS in 2017.

Whenever anyone even mentions having socialized healthcare in America they point the finger at the UK and say how awful it's going for them as if it hasn't been completed gutted by their conservative party
But that’s the point. It’s a health service paid for entirely by taxpayers, through the government. Said government can be elected and do what the Tories have done for 14 years. Not saying American health care is the answer, but neither is the way the NHS has been treated. Or you could have a system like the NHS, but cannot be subject to government interference. In which case how can you say it’s a representative democracy when there is never a choice by the people on how something run the by government should be operated, nor a choice really to use a different system. That’s largely why we point to the NHS and say “not that”. So I have a definitive answer on what to do? No, but I can see what doesn’t work
@@Idekwtph It's works, but as with every system it depends on the implementation. It's not a matter of "this won't work, let's find a different way," it's "this can work, let's learn from what other countries have done and make a more robust design".
"Keep calm and carry on" was never published widely during WWII, the government found most Britons thought of the posters like it as patronizing propaganda, they knew the stakes. The remaining posters sat in backrooms before being rediscovered in the 2000s and becoming popular because now we love being patronized to.
"If anything it understated my position" delivered with that dead serious tone after hearing that string of insults is one of the greatest sentences I ever heard.

💯% agree. They chose to listen to a proven liar (Boris) because they wanted his lies to be true, and to paint those pointing out obvious truths as ‘Project Fear’. And of course the more xenophobic ones said they would vote for Brexit even if it _harmed_ the country, just so they could get their stupid blue passports and mythical ‘sovereignty’ and keep Johnny Foreigner out.

Yes the anti-brexit campaigners of course told us that Brexit would be bad. Brexiteers believed the pro-brexit campaigners instead. And at the time the media treated them as if they were campaigning to go into government and in a position to make promises about how it would be, rather than merely campaigning for a certain decision in a referendum with no special authority to say what would happen after they won.
There was s*** slinging on both sides. Never in my life have I witnesses such an absolute shambles of a referendum. Lies and mistruths were flying in both directions. All I remember is not wanting to turn on the bloody tv because of all the hostility, slander, venomous attitudes and just being completely ignorant of other people opinions. That 4 years was horrific and I hope to god we don't have to go through anything like that ever again. I feel it needs reiterating, This was happening on BOTH sides of the argument.

Britain in practice put economic sanctions on itself, the first country in history to do so!
To be fair, there was a way to go about it that would have been less of an issue. Trade would always take a pretty big hit, but it would have been more manageable.
All it would have taken was action and responsibility.
Instead, they waited like 5 years to green light impact reports, then ignored their recommendations and did nothing. Then they triggered the article that gave a hard "We're out date" and continued to do nothing and ignoring reports of what needed to happen to mitigate the damage. It wasn't until the last like 4 months before the Brexit date that they actually started scrambling to look like they were doing something to prevent the complete fucking of the UK. They still barely did anything.
But if they had taken their time before starting the exit process, did thorough studies and took preparatory actions, they could have come out of Brexit in decent standing, as opposed to laughingstock hemorrhaging GDP growth.

Remember in the London 2012 Olympics ceremony when there was a whole segment paying tribute to the NHS? It seems the UK said “thank you NHS we love you!” and then spent the next decade absolutely decimating it.
I used to re-watch the 2012 Opening Ceremony every few years but I just can’t face it now. 2012 felt like such a positive thing, as if the UK had grabbed the chance to really show its best side. The ceremony was such a high point, an unapologetically British celebration of our past and present, full of wit, inventiveness and open-minded good humour.
It just breaks my heart to think how not long after that we swerved completely in the other direction into petty-minded exceptionalism, jealousy and petulance.
What an opportunity wasted.
As regards the NHS, the cuts have been a false economy. We are left with crumbling hospital infrastructure which will cost far more to replace now than if pre-2010 spending had been maintained. The economic damage caused by people being unable to work while they wait for treatment runs into billions and the extended wait means those people are less likely to return to work when finally treated. Cuts to social care mean that many people spend longer in hospital than they need to, which is vastly more expensive than the missing social care would have been.

Actually if you look for a video of the olympic torch in Bath you can see me with a friend running behind the torch in the crowd. Felt amazing to just experience all that in my 20's, and actually I did use the NHS while there. The USA being the only foreign country I´ve ever visited before, I thought I would be bankrupt for a throat infection, but to my surprise I ended up paying just 7 pounds for medication and that was it. It really shocked me to see how things went so shortly after I came back to my country.
@@GorgeDawes: Austerity has never, and will never work as it it always applied currently: against those already suffering.

Seeing that poor woman laboriously walking down those stairs and hearing how destitute she was, was truly heartbreaking.

I hope you realize there are hundreds, if not thousands, of people in the US who are simalarly struggling.
It’s worse in the US. But it’s also incorrect reporting. I am in the UK, we do have issues with the NHS here but “If you have a medical condition or physical disability, you are allowed free NHS prescriptions”. Also, “You are eligible for a free prescription if you are 60 or over, are under 16 or 16 to 18 and in full-time education. are pregnant or have had a baby in the previous 12 months” per the NHS website.
Also, all birth control is free to all women.
If that person believes they are unable to afford their prescriptions, they need to get help from somebody. I think with that person has peripheral neuropathy and that can affect cognitive function.

People at my work were talking about brexit when it was first announced. One of the girls said she voted the way her mum told her too, and she didn’t understand the fuss. I told her that as an immigrant myself, it could affect my ability to stay in the country. Given the look on her face, I think it was the first time it dawned on her that her choices do in fact have consequences.
Every EU citizen living in the UK at the time was given the right to stay. In fact even those who arrived right up until 2020, long after the referendum, had that right to stay. So what exactly were your circumstances that you couldn't apply to stay?
In fact then PM Theresa May said, shortly after the referendum, that people's status should not become a political bargaining tool and uncertain for years and she would formally give all EU citizens then in the UK the right to stay effective immediately if the EU reciprocated for UK citizens living in the EU.
The EU refused, and so those rights did become a bargaining tool and people like you were left in limbo for several years.
@@karlbassett8485 I was in fact able to stay. But there was a great deal of uncertainty, particularly in the beginning. Given that I’d lived and worked in the country for many years, I also believed that I always had a good chance to stay. The point was, I was talking to someone who blindly made a decision because instead of finding out for herself, she just let others tell her what choice she should make. Those choices are now affecting many people.
@@Aussieloz1 I could make the exact argument about those who voted to JOIN the EU in the first place without knowing or realising what it would entail. We were told the then Common Market was just a simple free trade free movement deal, and we'd always be able to veto anything we didn't like.
Then a few decades later governments gave away those vetos without asking us, consulting us, getting an election mandate, nothing.
We agreed to join a nice simple free trade deal and found out a few decades later we were in a political union.
Had people in the early seventies better educated themselves and realised what they were voting for chances are we would never have joined.
@@karlbassett8485 people have far fewer excuses these days with easy access to information. And given how much the world has since changed since the 70s, would isolating Britain from the continent, really have improved its prosperity? Small businesses have been adversely affected as opposed to large multinational companies who take their profits out of the country, how is that good for the economy? I don’t pretend to understand politics, the economy, nor how the EU operates, I have duel nationality but was born and raised in Australia, I therefore never grew up with it. But I’ve definitely heard a number of stories about people who voted in favour of brexit because of immigration. I’ve also heard immigrants who have lived in and contributed to the country for many years who were approached in the days after brexit by people telling them it was time to pack their bags as they weren’t welcome anymore. How are attitudes like that ever a good reason to vote to leave the EU? As long as they were a part of the EU, Britain had the benefit of being able to affect change. They can’t exactly do that now can they?
Lots left because the vote made them feel very unwelcome. You can airbrush it all you like but the stench of xenophobia was palpable.
All that mess started with Reagan and Thatcher. Since then lobbyists are more important than the people.

What's absolutely insane is those of us who were alive in the 80s remember how so many people worshipped Reagan as the best president ever. Because stuff. As a child, it was strange to see, because buildings were closing, jobs were being lost all over, and America was starting to look like a forgotten cardboard city, stuffed in a dusty attic corner, decomposing, but THINGS WERE GREAT! It was a total disconnect from reality.

At the exact same time interest rates and mortgage rates shot up in the USA, Europe, Canada etc. Why do you think rates only went up in the UK? Or do you think the UK is so powerful that Liz Truss' policies made mortgage rates go up all over the world?
Prior to Truss, the shortest serving PM in British history was George Canning, who was in power for 119 days in 1827. But unlike LIz he had the excuse of his premiership being terminated by his death.
I am a Brit living in America. Watching John Oliver telling the Tories to get stuffed on the 4th of July in a rain storm is the most patriotic I've ever felt.
Joking aside, it's really scary for me watching this episode. I think it's a fairly big sign of how bad it is that when he was talking about the situation the laughter completely died off. It really has been that bad. But worse, austerity and brexit kinda broke something in the UK. We had a society that looked after our own, no matter how down they were there was help for them. The Tories took that away, while blaming the people who needed the help the most as benefit scammers.

So basically the Conservative Party made the UK into the USA when it comes to health care. I would riot
Yep. And it was 100% intentional.
somehow even worse.
it is still far far from the US health system. The NHS needs vast reform, the NHS is a juggernaut of public spending. Improving it is not a matter of throwing more money at it. There are systematic flaws to the model. There is a reason even the labour party are not claiming to increase nhs spending by alot, because they no thats not the issue. The problem with the health system is everyone is incredibly defensive about it. It is a political posion pill to even suggest that the NHS in inefficient. People will reference 'nurse sally' so on , and how they work super hard. But it not them who are causing the issues, its the insane beuroracy and fluff staff they employ. The NHS is one of the largest employers in the world, the whole thing needs to be refocused.

It’s not just a British thing. In most European countries “swear words” is a way to enhance the dialogue and using words like (or equivalent to) cunt in a conversation with friends and family is not weird or unusual.
I think why Americans react to it is because of religion. Even non-believers in America is still brought up in a mindset, both in life and on tv, that swearing is bad and something you avoid, if not always then at least around your parents and family.

@AzadHind572 Does that make any difference? India has BJP solely due to hindu nationalism and USA's GOP is literally allowing teaching of biblical theories of origin of species instead of evolution theory in states like Florida (delete this bloody state already).
Religion in UK might be intrinsic to the country but any strongman willing enough can hyperfocus the biggest minority anyway, be it caste, religion, race or whatever.
It's the same reason as why america has the 2nd ammendment, India still has reservation based on minority status instead of income.

Jon Oliver and the whole staff, especially the writers, deserve worldwide recognition for this show. I can honestly say it's one of the most important things on any medium. Actual facts, actual news, and some solutions. Where else do you get that?
Hear! Hear!
Well... I can think of few. PBS News Hour. PBS Frontline. Tons of reporting on AP wire should be celebrated. Plus, most government agencies (EPA, NOAA, FDA, etc.) and think tanks (Brookings, Heritage, JSTOR, etc.) have channels as well. Not to mention LOCAL journalism and university based publishing in U.S., all of this is often quite poignantly fact based and yes, I understand the larger entities that are often involved with that news. But still, there's endless ways to find the answers.
To be clear I'm not disagreeing with the value of this programming, but there's alot of hard-working people out there. Alot. And I guess I'm in agreement and also broadening the shout-out. On all levels international, national, or local in U.S. there's more than enough factual info available and I hope that even a small dose of curiosity bears that truth out. Ginning it all up for an HBO production is important but don't lose sight of the industry behind this show, as well as the chance to find said-same info out on your own.

"The press isn't here." WTF, what was the plan behind that response?
Boris is the kind of bastard who lies reflexively, attempting to bend reality to his desire. Truth, integrity, common decency, these principles of civilised life mean nothing to that pillock.
'Do I look like a guy with a plan?'
The perfect response to that would be: you must have your head up your ass if you can't see the press is here.
blame it on tibor
Dude the worst thing any person can do, is take Boris Johnson seriously.. Just don't he's like Trump. Otherwise you would be left without any IQ. And seriously, plan?? No friend, when someone talks like that he has no plan at all he just said first thing that came to his head which made it quite clear it's literally empty.
Starting from the trembling hands all the way to the pouring rain in the end, my eyes are constantly filled with tears. John really cares about his own people.
England needs more immigrants to care about.
Indeed. He didn't even comment about this hideous Salvation Army duffel-coat the minister was wearing while explaining that the second time he looked at porn, it was deliberate, but the first one was an accident.
John is a typical English "intellectual" in that he hates his own country. George Orwell wrote in The Lion And The Unicorn back in the 1940s that no other country is hated by its own intelligentsia as in England.
Its going to be the worst July 4th for the Tories since 1776.
I live in the Uk and couldn't watch this video till recently because its region locked.
"Actually no press here" says Johnson - to the press. - That's how Johnson works. - And the public is taking it...
Same as Trump. Lie after lie after lie. They know their voters believe everything.
Conservatives can’t help but lie. It’s their default mode: if they talk, they lie.
That was one of the most revealing episodes about who Johnson is. He's not just a serial liar, he's a compulsive liar. He lies even when there's no advantage to lying, when the lie is completely implausible, when the lie is damaging to him. It's like he gets a thrill out of lying to people.
this is partly what comes from having this class system....the king, queen biz needs to go.. it needed to be removed from british life eons ago....the poor/uneducated have been so brainwashed to embrace the lives of those who do nothing but harm to them and the world by re-affirming nonsensical evil.. saudi rabia has monarchy, so do many other countries...if the british would come out of this torpor ..the rest of the world may be able to come out of theirs? bad example in a country that has no excuse really for living in medieval ages....
The sole reason he and others of his ilk can get away with this is total control of the media. Mass propaganda, it won't matter how many people see through the bullshit, there will always be enough who don't. Maybe you can't fool all the people all the time, but that's ok if you can fool most of the people every time.
I love that John Oliver does a British accent despite having a British accent
I'm convinced that there are places in the UK where you can go 10km to the next village over and need a translator. Some British accents are freaking wild
"A British accent" is such an American perspective. He briefly dropped into...was it Scouse?
He puts on a specific posh accent. There’s more than one. Same way Jon Stewart puts on a Noo Joisey accent and a Jewish American accent despite being a Jewish American from New Jersey. Or others put on over-the-top “darn tootin’” ‘Murrican accents despite being American.

Once again, I wish HBO would upload the whole show. John calling out the hypocrisy of mandating the display of the ten commandments while calling for pride flags to be burned is worth highlighting.

I read an article on how the UK basically destroyed half of its local libraries for and it filled me with such rage. Truly a lack of appreciation the services they provide.
Libraries are run and funded by local councils not the central government. And a lot of local councils are run by Labour, the LibDems, SNP etc rather than the Tories.
@@karlbassett8485 This is _such_ a misunderstanding of local government. Libraries are funded by councils, but a lot of councils' funding comes from the central government, and has been slashed in budget after budget under the Tories, and councils make up the shortfall by cutting back or closing services like local libraries which they aren't legally required to provide. As for why the Tories don't run many councils, that's because Tory councillors kept getting _voted out because their party is wildly unpopular_ !
@@lucretialiciniagaiaerikaju3204 The vast majority of funding for councils is council tax, plus business rates. For my council government funding is well under 10%.
That is not "a lot" and councils can raise council tax if they think their residents want those services.

Finally! What a great episode.
It's genuinely terrifying how far the UK has fallen in such a short time. As bad as things feel across the pond, things could absolutely be worse.
That's the problem about a real idiocracy. It's not like in the movie, in real life when idiocy became the ruler, social constructs would be the first victims, and weak people the first to be swept away.
This is what happens when you give conservatives power. Idk what people were expecting to happen, but it’s never a good thing when the pendulum swings to the right. Especially when it’s on purpose.
Honestly, I hate being back in the UK after growing up in the US. UK is super strict on many things, it's just irritating.
Driving for example, get caught speeding late at night on an empty motorway in the UK and the police will throw the book at you. In the US my experience was the opposite. Cops will write down a lower number/use a bit of common sense... I.e. not screw you for speeding when it's quiet and there's noone around
It's a reminder of what the end state of all conservative politics are in every country in which they are tried. Poor and starving people, imploding economy, but at least the rich get tax breaks.
I remember the UK in the late 90s and early aughties… There was so much positivity and cheer (yes, in Britain!). Scotland held on for longer, but Brexit, that really broke shit. There is an amount of grim resignation that is almost Weimar Republic level.
Wishing a wave of good changes to the UK and its people.
Could not leave the screen.. guy is unbelievable. Since I am Romanian/therefore European, I was saddened by both Brexit and the state of affairs of UK. There still are a lot of my conationals there...
I'm sure your saddened because you won't be able to collect welfare there like the 2million immigrants that arrived. "I am Romanian/therefore European"... debatable.
My aunt was Romanian in the UK! She married my dad's brother. Unfortunately she passed from MS in 2017. But I just wanted to say hello to you

Whenever anyone even mentions having socialized healthcare in America they point the finger at the UK and say how awful it's going for them as if it hasn't been completed gutted by their conservative party
They have to make national healthcare bad to prove that national healthcare is bad
exactly. They never point to any of the very many rather successful socialized healthcare systems that exist all over the world.
But that’s the point. It’s a health service paid for entirely by taxpayers, through the government. Said government can be elected and do what the Tories have done for 14 years. Not saying American health care is the answer, but neither is the way the NHS has been treated. Or you could have a system like the NHS, but cannot be subject to government interference. In which case how can you say it’s a representative democracy when there is never a choice by the people on how something run the by government should be operated, nor a choice really to use a different system. That’s largely why we point to the NHS and say “not that”. So I have a definitive answer on what to do? No, but I can see what doesn’t work
And ignore every other countries that successfully implement it.
@@Idekwtph It's works, but as with every system it depends on the implementation. It's not a matter of "this won't work, let's find a different way," it's "this can work, let's learn from what other countries have done and make a more robust design".
"Keep calm and carry on" was never published widely during WWII, the government found most Britons thought of the posters like it as patronizing propaganda, they knew the stakes. The remaining posters sat in backrooms before being rediscovered in the 2000s and becoming popular because now we love being patronized to.
