How the fck is no one talking about the elephant in the room when it comes to the UK? Why is no one talking about migration? That’s the main problem right there

What do far-right "leaders" and a gun store urgently awaiting a shipment have in common?
@DemonCipher13Id reform england 8========================D
@1roadrage1I'm of two minds. one, as an american, this sounds disturbingly familiar, and i sincerely hope folks in the UK don't make the same mistake we did. two, is it bad that, pea mush aside, babby's yed actually kinda looks okay. i think it's bad. it might be terminal
@astrel1275Im sorry, but did John just do an entire segment on Wigan and the food he chose to talk about was "babbys yed" and not "smack barm pea wet?" I could handle the post-British american-brit accent, but letting the smack barm pea wet just fall off the table like that? For shame.
@maximumst11:43 and there is the real sentiment from the left…. It’s my turn to take it up the A
@Colton-v1cYou'd think Americans would enjoy that Wigan dish, babbys yed. It looks awful 😂
@AuralArmsAnyone who's ever played the board game Brass (Lancashire) also knows Wigan, Mr Oliver. ;)
@estrathmeyerLets look at the wonderful options: Kemi Badenoch, Kier Starmer, Nigel Farage, or Zack Polansky. ( Formerly David Paulden) - We are awash with Dedicated, meritorious talent in every corner.
@cameronmurieApparently, the grass is browner on the other side.
@MrHousecupHow about King Charles clears up that dump? It was his land after all, when the waste got there, so it was his responsibility to clear it up anyways. But now he claims to be above the law and such responsibilities don't apply to him. Oh but of course he had no problem cashing in when he sold the land to the county at market value. No risks and all the benefits for the crown.
@pepinella5624Nobel Prize level political analysis! You rock John! OMG! No society that tramples on its women will prosper long. Between starving, enslaving and sending its children to die the entitled have angered God and we are being punished with extinction level political events,
@krl324Wait, that plumber's last name is Kenyon? :O his name is my name, too

@MeshackKekanaThis is exactly the kind of reporting that makes this show great. It's not sexy but it's massively important to us all.
@danielwoods404God now we’re gonna need a whole other story on this insane “banning kids and young teens from participating in basically any online space” law
@nohsaraVote RESTORE BRITAIN 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
@thenewyorkcityboyGet Zoe Bread on this
@MrAstroboyjjPeople are voting further right because they feel unheard. People are tired of useless politicians trading each other favours, becoming ultra wealthy during their tenure, insider trading, all while doing nothing to improve the lives of their families. You may not like it, but people will keep voting far-right, not always because they agree, but because they're desperate and tired of the status quo.
People vote for populists because they say what they want to hear, it's just that they don't really do what they want them to do. But if you're going to vote for a guy that's going to screw you over anyway, you might as well try to get a guy that at least pretends that he'll deliver.
That ending! 💀🤣🤣🤣
@SmoothBrain23Nah, Labor has nobody to blame but themselves.
@Godsgrampa38Children of Men is one of my favorite films but now im kinda scared.
@aaronmcclure9758Welcome to the ridiculousness. We’re only 250 years in. What’s y’all’s excuse?! You want trump?!?! You can have him for free!! Well, probably not free…… He likes gold. But you could probably paint things yellow, he’d never know.
@TheLissaRaeNo matter what Oliver thinks, that movement is growing.
@marvwatkins7029“Britain”, “World Cup”, “1966” and “us” is NOT what I was expecting to come out of John’s mouth. Dude, I adore you - but you bloody well made my skin crawl there… along with millions of other Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish folks 😟
@briancarpyI would love to see a deep dive into how the dog shit media in the UK has not only watched but encouraged the rise of the far right. Way too many people's take away from this is Beth Rigby and Laura K are good at their jobs. They are fucking terrible at their jobs.
@ClassicBookASMRCousin marriages 🤣🤣
@TheLissaRaeYou'd think that "moderates" would realize that supporting Israel's genocide is just a terrible idea.
@bencoomer2000Can't watch this one bc if Zoe Bread isnt mentioned it'll irritate me
@hananahhhhhhhhhhhhhSo.. no mention of UK's disastrous imigration policy?
@adriano7444keir starmer is the democrat establishment ideal: a republican who calls himself a liberal and is completely enslaved to [foreign country]
@quilsimHis defense on the birthday comment was that he was agreeing with the guy that said it was wrong. But isn’t it easy to check who the comment was directed at?
@ArcticOven26:58 SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE "MODERATE CENTRISTS" IN THE BACK
@PrizzlesticksJust so you know after cooba Puerto Rico is next. Who is after that is being bet on. Make sure i get a cut 🦆.
@travismurphy6733Shut UP what do you mean Trencherfield Mill is in the place they put the pictures?!!!
@ClassicBookASMR1:59 that looks like Diareha
@The_infomerGo Green 💚
@PrizzlesticksI can't be the only one to think that England had a village and decided to name it "Makersfield by Election". It would be pretty on brand tbh
@Praderanoire28:00 KMN 😇
@ManfromNoVhereNot to mention that Welsh is not a foreign language, and yes, you'll see Welsh language road signs in Wales. If you don't like it Nigel, bugger off back to England.
@AlunParsonsVote RESTORE!
@victormgvWho do you want to throw under the bus? YES!
@alexandersage967This show is getting worse every season. The fake “boo” track playing when John mentioned the pro Palestine movement is utterly ridiculous. Do they think we’re fools? This show was hysterically amazing the first few seasons, then it became a little political, but still bearable. Now it’s just ridiculous. I’m not political at all. I just miss when this was a comedy show.
@williamkeller6854We will celebrate Christianity... Responsibility. Restraint. Forgiveness. Duty. And Fairness. In short, values we have abandoned.
