Pie goes to COP 26 to get annoyed about Climate Change. With Ed Miliband, George Monbiot & Caroline Lucas. For the Director's Cut by Franny Armstrong go to: • Jonathan Pie: The Worl...
As much as people crap on Miliband, every time I’ve seen him on a comedy or clip he’s always been funny and down for a laugh. George picking up pies dregs is hilarious.
@@epictetus9221 a politician with no political relevance that appears on an interview with a comedian doesn't come across as desperate for attention. Ok pal 🤣
This was just brilliant. I burst out laughing when I saw who he was interviewing, but it turned out to be reeeally good in the end. Just goes to show even further what the potential of his channel really is.
Only discovered him recently, and I’m seeing someone that Britain has needed since the 1990’s. He’s challenging of received opinions yet belly laugh funny, in a way that makes me think of Peter Cook and David Frost in the 1960’s, when satire was dangerous and new. And, what I think would be a great idea, would be for his Pie character to do a TV special with Alan Partridge. Seriously! Imagine the opportunities for satire? When we first got Alan Partridge, he was just one of a group of characters satirising the news on The Day Today and now, though he’s still hilarious, he’s less satire and more character comedy. I’d love to see Partridge back on the sharp edge of satire and putting these two characters in the same show would be an opportunity for Coogan’s real genius to shine again, if they could get Armando Iannucci to contribute to the Partridge side of the script? There might even be a movie in that? The, “hot metal,” of Pie’s political correspondent journalism, clashing with the, “soft soap,” of Partridge’s light entertainment, “chattersphere,” would be hilarious with the right writers! They would console each other, having so much in common, about their divorces and personal lives, whilst hating each other’s politics and journalistic styles! Just imagine the possibilities!
Wait, he's not a real journalist? Pffff lies, next thing you are going to tell me is Santa isn't real? Joking aside, I totally agree with you, pure genius and I loved the cameos!
@@Mutineer9 And Tim is his producer right back to the first video. He is the man in Jonathan's ear who often pisses Pie off with his shitty Tory takes that we never actually hear we just hear Pie's reactions which are often hilarious.
@Jack Cardiff surely the opposite is true. The elite have more to gain from continuing current behaviour? You might want to go back to the drawing board on this one
I have a big... BIG... BIIIIGGGGG... muscles!!! HAHAHA!!! What did you think I was going for? That's so D1RTY of you! GAGAGAGA!!! I am the funniest TH-camr ever! Maybe that's the reason why I have TWO (!!!) HANDSOME (!) GIRLFRIENDS. Thanks for being alive, dear atlas
@Jack Cardiff Oh yes, the elites like every scientist including the ones not making much money (now there's a group in favor of the elites stance on lowering education funding) are definitely making up a plot that specifically points at major industries being the biggest problem. Worldwide conspiracies specifically saying "the elites of the world are poisoning us and reaping the benefits" is the ultimate plan because it would be so fucking stupid for the elites to be the masterminds that we'd never suspect them! I've seen some dumb climate change conspiracy theories but this is the dumbest by far.
@Jack Cardiff Aside from the fact that you’re completely wrong about scientists to the point where you might as well say “most scientists believe in flat earth theory” because it’s so absurd, why wouldn’t the elites make their conspiracy something that doesn’t target...any of their main cash cows? And why are scientists and governments who aren’t hyper focused on elites go along with it? There are many countries where plenty of people in charge investigate climate change, believe it’s real, and act accordingly. Your theory might make a little bit of sense if viewed only from the perspective of the US and some other nations, but this would have to be a worldwide conspiracy. You’re suggesting that the Illuminati or whoever are already in control of every country in the world as a singular group rather than infighting and that they orchestrate all of world politics. If that’s the case...why the fuck would they ever need this massive conspiracy? Just get a nuke to some cities, make up a terrorist organization, and use that to curtail freedoms and depopulate as they please. It would be so much easier. If the elites were stupid enough to actually use the plan you suggest, they wouldn’t be able to pull it off as well as they have.
Pie on top form as usual, cutting straight through the bullshit. Monbiot miserable and supping a half pint, plus Ed Miliband being earnest and a decent sport. One of Pie's finest. Bravo!
I think Mr Pie now conforms to the exact meaning of a Journalist 😊 I just can't believe the victims he interviewed didn't realise it the type of journalist he is ... or did they. Ed Milliband seemed as though he wasn't in on it? 😃
@@joh22293 Maybe it was his more 'forced' delivery. I guess not everyone is a born comedian. He looked like someone who wanted to be in on the joke, but didn't understand it, if that makes more sense?
@@GeordieAmanda Nah, Ed was in on it. It's more like he was trying to pretend he wasn't, and failed miserably... like with that damned Bacon sandwich...
Ed Milliband and Caroline Lucas heading up a coalition government would have been a brilliant alternative timelime, particularly with George Monbiot taking on an advisory role as a Minister without Portfolio (an intellectual Mandelson). As for Jonathan Pie, I'd love to have him as Speaker of the Commons. He's a Pro Rogue who would never prorogue our Parliament.
Genius! British straight forward no nonsense humour. Any light headed f***ing "journalist" should feel ashamed of their work and take this as a real example of journalism!

A Doctor in Canada just diagnosed a female patient with "Climate Change"... I believe last month... First thing should be to move to Florida where you don't need so much fossil fuel to heat your home! but meh... why change? just make more govt policy!!!
The planetary systems aren't going to collapse during his lifetime and it's disingenuous to imply they will. The risk most people alive today in the first world face from climate change is the indirect consequences of its effects on vulnerable developing nations and more expensive weather events. Not to say that these won't be extremely serious, but to imply that the gulf stream or food chain will collapse due to warming or significant sea level rise or planetary ecological collapse will occur is hyperbole. If we do reach a point of no return with regard to positive feedback it will still take centuries to seriously threaten human existence on the planet. I say this because people on the left need to be honest about the consequences or people will continue not to believe them.
@@cynicalpenguin not sure I completely agree with you there. Yes, the full rate of projected sea levels rises will take centuries, but other catastrophic events, such as widespread anoxic oceans (especially in the tropics) probably only decades, extreme heat-wave events are probably only years away and of course increased droughts, fires and crop failures are already with us. So George might not see the end of it, but it is possible he will see the start.
@@AskAkseli While you aren't wrong, we may have a different interpretation of what George meant when he said that the planetary systems can "flip". To me it represents a significant existential threat. I don't consider what we're already seeing, that is an increase in frequency/severity of heat waves, fires, droughts etc to fall under that term and I don't think they are likely to directly threaten Jonathan Pie, at least to the point that George can assert that they will kill him. We may not agree on that.
This has to be some of the best reporting I have ever seen. I hope it is ok Jonathon that I'm going to edit this to bleep out the swearing to use in school. I have to say your guests were incredible.
One of your best pieces for a long long time, Tim is back, and the context is more than just a rant in the direction of the camera, the interviews and "BTS" footage all help tell the story of Pie as a character and how he fits in to the very real story you're trying to tell. I know content like this is harder to make but I feel like it does a way better job at getting your point across and ends up being incredible journalism at the same time.
Great Comedy . . . but also an incredibly strong message to ALL of us! We can laugh about it (just as I did) and turn it to humour with skilful brilliance (just as Mr Pie did), but the facts remain - we are killing the planet we live on. Our children won't be able to laugh because the earth will be cooking around them, punishing the future generations for our greed and ignorance. I love these videos (JP is a bloody Hero) but we have to see the REAL message here. Thank you for a profound (and still bloody funny) video.
Jonathan here has definitely the makings of a Prime minister. And the three cameos in this present Cabinet are a sure testament to it. Kudos, man. One of your best.
@@LANDYMAN090 its satire and we need it! If you don't like baseline truths then don't watch the videos!! You do realise by interacting with his channel he gets revenue??
US biggest polluter is the Pentagon, they are excluded from any rules. China is still on the list of developing nations, so they too are excluded from the rules.
@@myview5840 China has reached 25% renewable energy with almost exclusively hydroelectric while the US lags behind at around 18% from all sources. No one can shirk responsibility, and plenty of smaller nations have made more progress and steeper commitments than developed, wealthy nations. It all comes back to basic greed of the respective oligarchies that control the world's economies and governments.
@@myview5840 Yet they still have a lower emission rate per capita than the US and other developed nations. Again, everyone has to do the work of transitioning off carbon fuels.
@@charlieelm8329 name a time in history that the climate has been stable? We can see ice ages happen every 10,000 years or so, and its been 10,000 years since the last one.
'If the Government can make people scared of a virus .......' so true. Loved Miliband and Lucas (we need more MPs like them asap) and George Monbiot , excellent writer and environmental activist. I just hope that people realise, before it is too late, that our attitudes and expectations in a rampaging consumerist world really do need to change, and fast. Brilliant as always Jonathan/Tom.
Yes, you can convince average people to eat less meat, insulate their homes and not take the plane for weekend trips. You can convince them, if you tell them that those habits will kill them. But you can not convince rich people to give up their private jets, their tropical holiday resorts, and their stocks in fossil fuel. They think it's impossible that they'll die because of it. Dying is something for poor people. Being rich means never facing consequences. Just ask Boris.
Pie does fake interviews as well as a fake piece to camera, Obama hurtles by, Milliband walks off, Monbiot drowns his climate sorrows, and I couldn't love this any more 😂
You're the only positive I know that let's me feel like I'm not in a united Kingdom nightmare. Filled with incompetence at every level of society and wondering why everyones just cracking on ignoring it. Thank you for being the voice that reminds me there's hope. 👍
I feel this is your best work to date. This one will be hard to top. Gravitas, cameos, genuine yet comedic despair, truth spoken to power and an ending that had a sombre sincerity I haven’t yet seen from Pie.
Utterly brilliant! Makes more sense and impact in this 16 min video than years and years of politically posturing promises that turn out to be full of sound and fury and mean absolutely nothing.. Well done JP and your guests!!! 🥳
"This killed a frog, clearly on the package." How that sums up our entire gambit for existence...after the destruction we play ethical-kerplunk until everything loses.
Wish I could give this more likes. Thank you for keeping me feel sane for at least the last two years. It feels like we've been gaslit by the media and politicians constantly about the severity of our emergencies - and apparently primal screaming into the sky isn't socially acceptable, but your videos reassure me that other people feel the same and that, if nothing else, gives me hope. Much appreciation to you and your team 🙌🏻
As much as I was diehard Corbyn (as the furthest left leader we could EVER expect, moderate as he ACTUALLY is) Milliband was probably our best hope at a competent, moderate leader to ACTUALLY "unite the party" He's everything Starmer isn't. Decent, earnest, funny, humble (at least enough to join in on the joke) ACTUALLY left wing but far closer to the boring moderate that the party elite would support. Damn shame the media fucked him almost as hard as they did Corbyn. BoJo can get away with basically anything without much scrutiny, whereas they made a scandal out of how Ed eats a fucking sandwich. It's good to see him contributing.
Let's discuss climate change. Quick everybody fly to this one location instead of just going on zoom like we've been telling the plebs for almost 2 years
Same old same old bollocks argument. I know it seems like a needless waste of energy but as I am 100% convinced of man-made climate change I don't begrudge any of the carbon released into the atmosphere to get all these people into one place to discuss this. Because it's IMPORTANT. Maybe Fucko the Clown's private jet home was a bit much but really who would expect anything less from that eejit.
Beautiful, sir, beautiful. It's making me rethink my own apathy towards the subject, to be fully honest. Even if this doesn't blow up, you've done something here.
Probably one of his best yet. Loved the cameo appearances, and Ed Millband has gone up in my estimation. He might have still been Leader of the Labour Party if he had shown this side of him.
Just brilliant. A fitting epitaph to the collective stupidity of humanity as the next mass extinction event in the history of our beautiful, but horrendously abused planet approaches at breakneck speed. The George Monbiot section is chilling. Far too little; far too late.
Pure genius! Having been to a couple of COPS, Pie did a better job of summarizing it than 26 years' worth of journalists covering this global greenwash event.
Jonathan Pie is such a good character, I liked the little slip(?) where he's acting like it's natural speech.. while those words are on the prompter.. 11:16
I love the part at 11:20, where the character talks about how they always read the script from the promter - while the actor reads the script from the promter.
I'm proud of you! Great work! I still have a bit of hope left, but not much. Maybe if real journalists were like this and spoke truth without usual bullshit...
You get more journalistic integrity here than you do on US mainstream media, that’s for sure. I’m stuck in Canada, which is great in its own way but kind of like living in an apartment complex with a well armed and abusive father whose chemical addictions are out of control and he’s constantly threatening to burn the whole building down living in the condo below you. Oh yeah, and if he hears “bad words,” he’s making life hell for everyone else in the condo building. It’s entertaining, but terrifying at the same time.
Damn Tom, You hit the ball into orbit with this piece! Can you make a 2 hour movie on this subject? I am sure there is funding for a movie. Take this to Sundance, I would be enthusiastic to invest. Borate isn't the only one that can make a movie.
Try watching Planet of the Humans. (Michael Moore) for starters. It's as uncomfortable viewing - as it should be. I prefer Tom's outraged passion. Yet another excellent piece of journalism - ahem, I mean satire.
@@angeladawn805 It's journalism 2021! The Politicians lie their Asses off. So Johnathan can cuss his ass off at them for the dirty shit they do. It's the only way to get the people's attention or at least out of their Brexit trance.
Your NYT video was soooo good. Thank you for being honest and articulate. I even learned some British slang. Looking forward to watching more of your videos
I'd have to agree with George, I think we've already hit the tipping point but are just seeing the start of it now I'm 56 and feel as Mr. Monbiot does that I will see the end in my lifetime.
Great stuff, as usual. Funny, yes, but frightening, too. And George is so right, it’s the little things that we all use in our everyday life without knowing exactly what we are contributing to that is so ubiquitous, driven by the wealth that those tiny things add up to.
As much as I sometimes get frustrated with Pie (aka Tom Walker) whinging about how comedians are being silenced by the woke left... yeah... we need more of him. This was bloody awesome. Darkly funny, terrifyingly direct. What would I give if our real newscasters and journalists were as honest. (Also thanks to the great guests stars, especially the brilliant George Monbiot!)
Why do you get frustrated about the truth? YOU should be outraged about the cancellation. Sorry if trying to stop the shutdown of freedom of speech is whinging to you!
@@CaptainGrimes1 Martin clearly supports the woke left in its cancellation efforts. Why else would he be frustrated? Meh, they're losing thier grip anyway.... this woke nonsense will be a footnote in history, a cultural curiosity for future philosophers to argue about
@@MidBoss He is a self admitted woke leftist. He just recognises the flaws in his belief system and makes fun of it. Well, thats if you believe what he tells interviewers
Just Fucking Brilliant !! The best comment on Cop26 I have seen or heard. Pie burrows and burrows into the into the status quo and the image of integrity and hard-won accomplishments that the Politician’s want you to believe and completely blows it up in one of the most rational and impassioned speeches about Climate Change and the necessity of just simply cutting fossil fuels subsidies tomorrow I have to ever heard. As I said, Just Fucking Brilliant !!
Fair play to Milliband for playing along. I did _not_ expect that.
You think Ed knew what he was getting into when he sat down?
@@mendelde yeah for sure. I reckon most mps will recognise pie by now. Plus Ed is actually pretty switched on, he has a podcast and stuff.

Jonathan here has definitely the makings of a Prime minister. And the three cameos in this present Cabinet are a sure testament to it. Kudos, man. One of your best.
Tha makings of a Prime minister? You just insulted him grievously!
I've just discovered Mr Pie, he's brilliant! I'm looking forward to seeing everything he has done.
You're in for a treat.
Hope you're not a Trump lover 😉
@@fergalhughes165 or Boris. Tom (Mr pie) only runs his gags off both of them.
He’s got no other ideas
@@LANDYMAN090 its satire and we need it! If you don't like baseline truths then don't watch the videos!! You do realise by interacting with his channel he gets revenue??
@@LANDYMAN090 Oh you not watched all the videos or just ignoring anything that fits your narrative?
This was absolutely brilliant! This should be how all journalists conduct themselves.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is how journalists used to conduct themselves.
Not an ounce of satire. It is, in fact, literally all true. Every drop.
US biggest polluter is the Pentagon, they are excluded from any rules.
China is still on the list of developing nations, so they too are excluded from the rules.
@@myview5840 China has reached 25% renewable energy with almost exclusively hydroelectric while the US lags behind at around 18% from all sources.
No one can shirk responsibility, and plenty of smaller nations have made more progress and steeper commitments than developed, wealthy nations. It all comes back to basic greed of the respective oligarchies that control the world's economies and governments.
@@charlieelm8329 yet they buy coal by the ship load from Australia, most of their dams are weak.
@@myview5840 Yet they still have a lower emission rate per capita than the US and other developed nations. Again, everyone has to do the work of transitioning off carbon fuels.
@@charlieelm8329 name a time in history that the climate has been stable? We can see ice ages happen every 10,000 years or so, and its been 10,000 years since the last one.
Loved Millibands sense of humour. What a brilliant video. If this is really the end.. at least we would go down laughing, entertained by Pie 👍🏽
George Monbiot looking depressingly at his beer now its gone flat and all those CO2 bubbles have already escaped takes this to another level
'If the Government can make people scared of a virus .......' so true. Loved Miliband and Lucas (we need more MPs like them asap) and George Monbiot , excellent writer and environmental activist. I just hope that people realise, before it is too late, that our attitudes and expectations in a rampaging consumerist world really do need to change, and fast. Brilliant as always Jonathan/Tom.
Yes, you can convince average people to eat less meat, insulate their homes and not take the plane for weekend trips. You can convince them, if you tell them that those habits will kill them.
But you can not convince rich people to give up their private jets, their tropical holiday resorts, and their stocks in fossil fuel. They think it's impossible that they'll die because of it. Dying is something for poor people. Being rich means never facing consequences. Just ask Boris.
Rich people who don't love war aren't nearly as rich as the rich who do.
Damn, that is right on the money!!
Good point
@@Jakob_DK Thanks, typo fixed.
Well said
I'd vote for a Government made up of just Pie, Ed, Caroline and George. Oh and Tim.
Brilliant. I get excited everytime a new Pie video releases. This was a little different to usual. Superb.
Pie does fake interviews as well as a fake piece to camera, Obama hurtles by, Milliband walks off, Monbiot drowns his climate sorrows, and I couldn't love this any more 😂
You're the only positive I know that let's me feel like I'm not in a united Kingdom nightmare. Filled with incompetence at every level of society and wondering why everyones just cracking on ignoring it.
Thank you for being the voice that reminds me there's hope. 👍
Unfortunately the populous has been conditioned into accepting the status quo.
Aye, shame it's not a well founded hope. We're still utterly fucked.
I feel this is your best work to date. This one will be hard to top.
Gravitas, cameos, genuine yet comedic despair, truth spoken to power and an ending that had a sombre sincerity I haven’t yet seen from Pie.
Kudos to Ed for taking the opportunity to be interviewed.
Utterly brilliant! Makes more sense and impact in this 16 min video than years and years of politically posturing promises that turn out to be full of sound and fury and mean absolutely nothing.. Well done JP and your guests!!! 🥳
"This killed a frog, clearly on the package." How that sums up our entire gambit for existence...after the destruction we play ethical-kerplunk until everything loses.
Just LOVED this Pie - you’re absolutely spot-on and the delivery offers comic relief on a truly tragic topic.
Wish I could give this more likes. Thank you for keeping me feel sane for at least the last two years. It feels like we've been gaslit by the media and politicians constantly about the severity of our emergencies - and apparently primal screaming into the sky isn't socially acceptable, but your videos reassure me that other people feel the same and that, if nothing else, gives me hope. Much appreciation to you and your team 🙌🏻
As much as I was diehard Corbyn (as the furthest left leader we could EVER expect, moderate as he ACTUALLY is) Milliband was probably our best hope at a competent, moderate leader to ACTUALLY "unite the party"
He's everything Starmer isn't. Decent, earnest, funny, humble (at least enough to join in on the joke) ACTUALLY left wing but far closer to the boring moderate that the party elite would support.
Damn shame the media fucked him almost as hard as they did Corbyn.
BoJo can get away with basically anything without much scrutiny, whereas they made a scandal out of how Ed eats a fucking sandwich.
It's good to see him contributing.
Agree, but I think he will be back. There is such a lack of talent in parliament there maybe no choice.
I like Ed Milliband but damn, you far lefties are insane.
@@mogznwaz Evidence?
@@DmGray LOL. Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Hitler. Venezuela. Cuba. Marxist politics of envy and misery. Identity politics. Self loathing. Utopian thinking.
I wholeheartedly agree. Not that it matters either, but he does have a bit of silver fox sex appeal too 😂😂😂
Gets a yes. Vote Pie for PM
Absolute classic Jonathan Pie. He does for us viewers of his channel what we all want to see. Someone who talks the truth.
Let's discuss climate change. Quick everybody fly to this one location instead of just going on zoom like we've been telling the plebs for almost 2 years
Same old same old bollocks argument. I know it seems like a needless waste of energy but as I am 100% convinced of man-made climate change I don't begrudge any of the carbon released into the atmosphere to get all these people into one place to discuss this. Because it's IMPORTANT. Maybe Fucko the Clown's private jet home was a bit much but really who would expect anything less from that eejit.
That was utterly outstanding. Fantastic cameos by Milliband, Lucas and Monbiot too, what a brilliant piece of work.
I cant get over how concisely he puts across EXACTLY what im thinking. I can almost never fault his arguments. Spot on.👍🏻
Beautiful, sir, beautiful. It's making me rethink my own apathy towards the subject, to be fully honest. Even if this doesn't blow up, you've done something here.
Next Level Brilliant!!!
Jonathan Pie is a Living Legend! 👍👍🎯💯
Tom Walker…thank you and bless you for putting this show together!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Brilliant and witty as always sir
I'm new to Pie. He's a comedic genius. So blunt about everything. A lost trait among comedy these days.
This was fantastic if we had coverage from media that is just fraction as honest we would have been in completely different world right now.
Just found you via the NYT explainer video. You're brilliant! Excellent way of packaging the truth.
Probably one of his best yet. Loved the cameo appearances, and Ed Millband has gone up in my estimation. He might have still been Leader of the Labour Party if he had shown this side of him.
Why is telling the truth so bloody controversial. Sincere thanks for being one of very few who speak it.
Just brilliant. A fitting epitaph to the collective stupidity of humanity as the next mass extinction event in the history of our beautiful, but horrendously abused planet approaches at breakneck speed. The George Monbiot section is chilling. Far too little; far too late.
Everyone in the world should see "Jonathan Pie: The World's End", immediately.
Cool new format mate!! The first vid i saw of yours was "Oppression Obsession" seen pretty much all of them now - LOVE YA WORK - from Australia!!
I want to like this more than once. Absolutely one of your best yet. Thank you!!
Pure genius! Having been to a couple of COPS, Pie did a better job of summarizing it than 26 years' worth of journalists covering this global greenwash event.
What happened to the announcement upload that showed up earlier this morning? I noticed that it was made private.
Did we finally get a hint of Tim’s voice?
Absolutely brilliant. Thanks very much Pie and I loved the hilarious cameos too. You really hit all the nails this time.
That cut to Ed XD what a sport though.
Really great with the interviews, I would love to see you do more like this. Sobering ending. Thanks for the work you put out.
Jonathan Pie is such a good character, I liked the little slip(?) where he's acting like it's natural speech.. while those words are on the prompter.. 11:16
Jonathan pie should be on every tv channel every day in place of whatever pisspoor offering they call news programmes on the telly.
This is absolutely brilliant, what a genius.
I love the part at 11:20, where the character talks about how they always read the script from the promter - while the actor reads the script from the promter.
Applaud the tragi-comedy that is life on our planet hurtling towards mass extinction. Because. Of. Greed. We need more voices like Mr Pie.
It's nice to see there's still some coverage of this, love your presentation style as well
I'm proud of you! Great work!
I still have a bit of hope left, but not much.
Maybe if real journalists were like this and spoke truth without usual bullshit...
WE NEED PIE FOR HONEST JOURNALISM OF THE SUE GRAY REPORT!!
Well done on getting Miliband, Monbiot and Lucas in on the gig 👍 Also - well said the lot of you, was slightly confused about how feminine Tim looked.
Probably my favourite Pie video EVER!! Even more so than his EU Leave vs Stay skit. Genius!!
You get more journalistic integrity here than you do on US mainstream media, that’s for sure. I’m stuck in Canada, which is great in its own way but kind of like living in an apartment complex with a well armed and abusive father whose chemical addictions are out of control and he’s constantly threatening to burn the whole building down living in the condo below you. Oh yeah, and if he hears “bad words,” he’s making life hell for everyone else in the condo building. It’s entertaining, but terrifying at the same time.
Nice analogy
Word 👍🏿
Bad words?
@@QuesoGr7 workers rights, social healthcare , gun control to name a couple
Not even halfway through and already had to stop sooo many times, my face hurts...Brilliantly made.
Damn Tom, You hit the ball into orbit with this piece! Can you make a 2 hour movie on this subject? I am sure there is funding for a movie. Take this to Sundance, I would be enthusiastic to invest. Borate isn't the only one that can make a movie.
Try watching Planet of the Humans. (Michael Moore) for starters. It's as uncomfortable viewing - as it should be. I prefer Tom's outraged passion. Yet another excellent piece of journalism - ahem, I mean satire.
@@angeladawn805 It's journalism 2021! The Politicians lie their Asses off. So Johnathan can cuss his ass off at them for the dirty shit they do. It's the only way to get the people's attention or at least out of their Brexit trance.
Your NYT video was soooo good. Thank you for being honest and articulate. I even learned some British slang. Looking forward to watching more of your videos
I'd have to agree with George, I think we've already hit the tipping point but are just seeing the start of it now I'm 56 and feel as Mr. Monbiot does that I will see the end in my lifetime.
You’ll certainly see the end of your lifetime.
I love the Pie mini-doco clips. Brilliant.
When I wake up in a grumpy mood, I watch Pie to give me a giggle. This one is pure gold.
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you NYT for introducing me to Mr. Pie et al.
Two videos in three days? Johnathan, you have us completely spoilt!👍
The best and most important coverage I've seen of COP26 to date.
Great stuff, as usual. Funny, yes, but frightening, too. And George is so right, it’s the little things that we all use in our everyday life without knowing exactly what we are contributing to that is so ubiquitous, driven by the wealth that those tiny things add up to.
9:09 Pie’s pensive sip of beer as Monbiot sets up is perfection.
As much as I sometimes get frustrated with Pie (aka Tom Walker) whinging about how comedians are being silenced by the woke left... yeah... we need more of him. This was bloody awesome. Darkly funny, terrifyingly direct. What would I give if our real newscasters and journalists were as honest. (Also thanks to the great guests stars, especially the brilliant George Monbiot!)
Why do you get frustrated about the truth? YOU should be outraged about the cancellation. Sorry if trying to stop the shutdown of freedom of speech is whinging to you!
@@CaptainGrimes1 Martin clearly supports the woke left in its cancellation efforts. Why else would he be frustrated? Meh, they're losing thier grip anyway.... this woke nonsense will be a footnote in history, a cultural curiosity for future philosophers to argue about
@@MrKbonez I hope so but they've infiltrated all walks of life, even Boris is pretty woke now
If he didn't I'm sure he'd have a much smaller audience. He would probably be classified as a woke leftist himself by right-leaning folks.
@@MidBoss He is a self admitted woke leftist. He just recognises the flaws in his belief system and makes fun of it.
Well, thats if you believe what he tells interviewers
Just Fucking Brilliant !! The best comment on Cop26 I have seen or heard. Pie burrows and burrows into the into the status quo and the image of integrity and hard-won accomplishments that the Politician’s want you to believe and completely blows it up in one of the most rational and impassioned speeches about Climate Change and the necessity of just simply cutting fossil fuels subsidies tomorrow I have to ever heard. As I said, Just Fucking Brilliant !!
