β¦ no absolutely not elites. Quite the opposite
Jonathan Pie has an edge and an anger about the world that I think is absolutely spot on. He is described as βleftyβ β¦ but I have seen him take down the Labour party with as much ferocity as he attacks Tories. This particular one is aimed at the entire Government - and if you are offended by blasphemy, I highly recommend that you do not watch. Example β¦.
β¦ pointing at the Houses of Parliament, answering the rhetorical question βwho got us into this messβ β¦. he says β¦ βthis lotβ β¦
βThis gaggle of obdurate, arrogant stubborn, unrepentant, heartless, bunch of self serving arseholes β¦β
If you live in America and wonder about late night hosts you would be forgiven for not knowing the name Jonathan Pie. Iβm not even sure he has a TV show in the UK - Tom Walker (his creator) only launched him 3 1/2 years ago. His YouTube channel shows just shy of half a million subscribers - though his βwatchedβ number does on occasion blow that number out of the water. I think he is also too much for TV to take him on - maybe Netflix will think about it, his numbers are already blowing out Hasan Minhaj even with his Daily Show history and TV promotion.
