    As hard John can be on America and its problems, it's nothing compared to the wrath he has for the people that ruined his country of birth and hurt the people who could least withstand being hurt.

    The woman that threw the milkshake gave an interview: she didn’t plan it, she just happened to be in the area, heard from the crowd that Farage was coming, and spontaneously went and bought a milkshake just to throw it at him. She’s a hero 😅
  • Indian Elections, American Elections and now the UK Elections. What a year for John to be on a roll.

    I hate politicians that complain about spending on programs that aren't working, when the biggest reason they're not working is that they're being undermined by policy and underfunded.

    Besides all the shit Nigel Farage has gotten recently, I also think we need to take a moment to appreciate the time a guy called into a show he was on and said "something happened to him" that made the caller support Nigel's political views.. He perfectly baited Nigel into asking him what had happened and he replied he was kicked in the head by a horse.

    That person having to sell their cutlery for medication is outrageous, you could sense the genuine anger in John's voice. People keep saying the UK healthcare system shouldn't turn into America's, but it seems it already has.

    "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.

    Justice, Healthcare and Education should never be privatized.

    You're telling me leaving a union based on free trade between countries would make it harder to trade with those countries? Color me shocked
  • @SBsam
    Dude literally said 'badhoevedorp', a dutch village with less than 15k residents. Purely for his alliteration joke. MY MAN!

    Was searching for Tractors 🚜 and ended up watching this show for 5 years 😂 don’t tell my dad
  • I'd love to go inside the mind of Boris when he told that father that the Press wasn't there. Because that is such a mind boggling response that it goes from insane to comedic, I'd have burst into raucous laughter at that if I was there. How the hell did he think that was something that made any sense?
  • 100 Billion a year for no more free travel and trade in the EU. Great call Britain.

    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.

    As an American, I came to watch this after just watching the debate thinking to myself "Maybe we're not the only ones that are f*cked." 1. It's reassuring to see we're not alone. 2. Everything about the way this video was written and produced was phenomenal. Well done!!
  • @KannikCat
    I look at this, and then I look at how Canada might elect a Conservative government next year, and I think of how much damage they will do in copying all that has failed in both Britain and the US, and I weep.
  • So basically the Conservative Party made the UK into the USA when it comes to health care. I would riot
  • @laalaa99stl
    "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.
  • @thutmose7506
    Its outrageous for person having to sell their cutlery and tv for medication while the UK government spent $200 million on Queen Elizabeth II funeral.
  • @prettypic444
    I think we're ignoring the really important issue here: we need to make Knott's Berry Farm increase their seat size so all Shaqs can be included!
