The first one is a system of government where the ruling body consists of the Demos (the citizens). The ruling body issues decrees, etc. Demos means people. Cratos means "to rule". Hence DemosCratos. 2. Democracy #2 Is an ideology (not a governing system) based on the core ideals of the governing system, also called Democracy.

It happens all the time, literally all the time! I do work as a freelance sometimes, checking people’s online behavior and history of applicants before that applicant are even invited for a interview. I then compile a file for the company of every possible prospect of that position. You have no idea how many people think they can write whatever they want online and think they never have to held responsible for it. Every single thing you have ever put online, photos, comments, videos everything! Will always be there, even if you delete it from Social media. It’s still there if you dig deep enough.
Smart phones everywhere have changed society forever but not necessarily for the better. People now have to be careful of spouting opinions and have to tone down how they act in puplic through fear of this sort of public lynching happening to them. Mainstream comedy has become blander because of wokeness.
Sure, hes illustrating that its a police state, where what you vote, what you say, and even what you think are crimes, even without any actual actions attached to them. A real crime is murder, and it has actual actions attached to it. This is just talking, but people are getting criminal charges. This is a brilliant parody.
How long before Pie just does the news? He's as qualified as news correspondents, as informed as news correspondents and the news is a parody of itself now anyway so.....................
That wasn't real, to give you an answer: all of those were actors and this was made up. The tweets mightve been real and obviously him walking around meeting Leave and Remainers.
I love how this show is evolving. Swear man this has the makings of one of the best British comedies of all time. Its so perfectly on point. The exact kind of satire we need at this time.
The humor he presents unfortunately is going the same route as 1984, Idiocracy, and Gattaca. We're all like, "haha...that's a funny joke." And then life starts imitating art and we're all "no no, not this stuff please."
"Comedians use lies to tell truths and politicians use truths to sell lies" Applicable to their mouth-pieces in the media. Don't forget, they lose access to the 'leaders' if they don't play by the rules.
I liked it also, but it brought to mind a hammer. A hammer can be used to drive a nail or crush someone's skull, so is it the fault of the hammer that it wasn't used for a better function by the idiot who uses it to crush a skull? It's the users, not the tools
@@doncollins7743 Agree. Literally today in my country an abusive dickhole of a father, that abused his children, got exposed only because he got caught doing so on a smartphone camera. From there it unravelled - punishments, psychological abuse, up to forcing them to eat from garbage a spoiled salami because daughter threw it out but he decided it is still edible "and in this house I say what goes". And all because he got caught hitting his six years old son on somebody else's smartphone video. What some people use for blackmail and repression others can use to save lives, pretty much.
@Chris Ace again doesn't excuse volatile discourse. I deleted social media for that reason, but there's no doubt if everyone acted the way they would in real life, standing before a person where there's real consequences to abusive behaviour, social media could be a much nicer place.
Glen Nigel Matthews yeah I agree. They’ve hit even harder than Pie’s normal videos which is saying something because those hit harder than anything else as it is.
@ oh I fully agree that we have no voice in the one year or so that we are in the EU. Basically we are in the EU in a sense that we have to abide by its rules for one year or so. Not sure about the little bitch part.
@Nspnspker Literally a 'non-binding, advisory referendum' to see where the public stood on an issue that was twisted into an antiestablishment protest vote by rich wankers who don't want to have to deal with the EU's new tax evasion laws. I do believe there's an argument for leaving the EU, it's just most people don't know it. They spout the same inane, meaningless lines such as "take back control" and "Brexit means Brexit" because that's what they've been brainwashed to do by the people that actually benefit from leaving the EU. It's completely fine to have an opinion but the future of a country and union shouldn't be decided on the basis of emotions and ill-placed resentment, it should be decided based on facts and statistics and logic-based predictions. Unfortunately the majority of the UK has abandoned those principles. Luckily for me, Scotland has not.
@@sykessaul123 I don't think it was as simple as you paint it. For a lot of voters who are at the lower end of the socio-economic scale the vote was "The Status Quo" = Remain. "A roll of the dice." = Leave. Now when "The staus quo" means self employment, zero hours contracts, eat OR heat, feed the kids OR feed myself, pay day loan to get by for another month etc etc, Is it any wonder "Roll the dice." seemed attractive? One of the most abhorrent aspects of the whole shit show was watching the country tear itself in two with both sides treating each other like animals. *Neither* side showered themselves in glory yet here we are still tearing strips off each other. That said, the WORST thing out of all this was we actually considered suspending democracy because the result didn't suit. That, in my mind, was the far bigger crime because the freedom to choose also includes the freedom to make bad choices. The nation needs to learn the importance of voting, the importance of voting responsibly and *the ramifications of the vote whether the outcome is for better or for ill* If we end up on the shit pile for the next few decades then that's what we deserve because NO ONE treated the process with the care it required. Right from the moment Cameron decided to go ahead with it, up to, and including, the election in December. The country needs this lesson and it wasn't worth shitting on the democratic process to spare us from the consequences. If it hurts us, it hurts us. Then maybe we'll end up in a situation where the British really have to pull our collective thumbs out our arses and man the fuck up. NB. I didn't vote in 2016. Couldn't decide what was best between playing it safe (remain) or taking our chances on uncharted seas (leave) Let's be honest here, playing it safe, given the state of the European economy is only "safe" in very relative, shaky terms.
@Nspnspker That's the thing though. People should be able to sort out what is real and what is bullshit. The fact is they can't, and have shown that they can't on multiple occasions.
@Nspnspker I'll agree with that. I think the only way to update that would be to shock people out of their traditional media outlets. It happened with Scotland after the 2014 independence referendum where the blatent BBC bias/propaganda made a lot of people question the integrity of it and therefore all media. Now most Scottish people get their news and opinions from mixed sources not just the MSM, tens if not hundreds of startups have started stealing the spotlight and are talking about Scotland. Not just Scotland as a small part of the UK but as an actual country with it's people at the forefront of the journalistic picture and that's one of the most refreshing things after seeing Scotland being underappreciated and underrepresented for so long. England needs a wake up call. And it needs to recognise and embrace that wake up call instead of ignoring it. That's up to the people, not the media.
I find it fascinating how he manages to balance cringe and heavy doses of second-hand embarrassment with some of the finest political satire and social insight I have seen in video format. This guy deserves an award and more spotlight. Way more spotlight.

Maybe Episode 2: Interview with John Cleese who left UK saying "England is not England anymore". To be called a racist homophobe. Now residing in Jamaica. (Cleese - wittingly or unwittingly - made real-life satire with his final move, methinks.)
i thought not.. nature of police is not that they are "woke"/ usually have any ax to grind.. more that they are only following orders or looking to "get a result".. while convinced at the same time that whatever the law says must be the whole of reality.. thus a bit more lazy and stupid and half asleep than the guy shown here ..
Jonathan Pie this was absolute genius, this was on the level of Ricky Gervais at his peak in the Office. I honestly hope this becomes a series, and many other people commenting want it too. Please!
Jonathan Pie, you are such a dose of sanity in a world gone insane. Thank you & don’t give up. This is just as important as supergluing yourself to the sidewalk - making people SEE.
Absolutely brilliant as always. The sooner we revert to all being “normal” and getting along despite difference the much better we will be. We can’t even fucking laugh anymore.
It's not even categorized as "hate crime" often, just a hate "incident". Wasting police time and blemishing citizen records for things that aren't even illegal.
As much as there are many things wrong with the US they are way ahead of us on protections against that shit. Its in law that the government cannot do that, and if they do ... well the public have the means to stop them :P.

I then compile a file for the company of every possible prospect of that position. You have no idea how many people think they can write whatever they want online and think they never have to held responsible for it.
Every single thing you have ever put online, photos, comments, videos everything!
Will always be there, even if you delete it from Social media. It’s still there if you dig deep enough.
Absolutely mate. Mentioning Alistair Stewart, but not.
Has definatly happened over and over again to many people.
I normally laugh at Pie, but on this occasion, the irony was too real. Great work, as usual, but I feel oddly disturbed.
I felt that too. Because, all joking aside, it's just all true.
Sadly.
Smart phones everywhere have changed society forever but not necessarily for the better. People now have to be careful of spouting opinions and have to tone down how they act in puplic through fear of this sort of public lynching happening to them. Mainstream comedy has become blander because of wokeness.
The police officer saying it was a hate crime actually really stuck a nerve with me
Because fast forward to Feb 2021 and it is becomimg a reality.
Sure, hes illustrating that its a police state, where what you vote, what you say, and even what you think are crimes, even without any actual actions attached to them. A real crime is murder, and it has actual actions attached to it. This is just talking, but people are getting criminal charges. This is a brilliant parody.
“Getting to know the general public. It’s soul destroying.” - words to live by 👍

This is a modern day “The Thick Of It”. I approve
It's actually way better
What the hell! The same thought popped into my head and I was about to start typing this, then I saw your comment 🙇
I can totally see this becoming a hit TV show
And that one guy with the Chris Addisonish haircut... the Thick of it analogy was intentional, but less swearing ;)
thought exactly the same
This made me understand the expression - 'I don't know whether to laugh or cry'.
How long before Pie just does the news? He's as qualified as news correspondents, as informed as news correspondents and the news is a parody of itself now anyway so.....................
Pie did the news in his very first episode.
He is better
Why watch the news, we have Pie!
He's way more informed than news correspondents..

"I'm alright for a leftie" should be on your resume
when satire becomes so accurate to how things have become that it makes you want to break down and weep for the country you once loved...........
with a sad heart and a tear in my eye , i have to totally agree
Did anyone else read that in a tearful Theresa May voice?
Yes , I have just seen " London 1967" on here and I am CERTAIN that is what you were alluding to.......
Reading that comment filled me with a feeling of mourning.
Replace "Brexit" with "Trump" and this piece is suddenly about America, and just as accurate.
Ah, this man is a national treasure.
As a non-british person: was that real? Or just satire too close to reality for me to tell?
I guess that's actually hard to say even for a brit ...
Johnathan pie is a satirical and fictional character, played by Tom Walker. I'm sure it's heavily based on his actual opinions, just more exaggerated.
It's real " I shit thee not" but only in a reality TV kind of way.
It's metasatire ...
That wasn't real, to give you an answer: all of those were actors and this was made up. The tweets mightve been real and obviously him walking around meeting Leave and Remainers.
I love the Jonathan Pie shorts. They add a lot of depth to the whole thing.
He’s so good, a lot of his commentary also applies to our politics here in the US
@@jbllc6873 Balkans here. Same
I love how this show is evolving.
Swear man this has the makings of one of the best British comedies of all time.
Its so perfectly on point. The exact kind of satire we need at this time.
Yes. Yes. Agreed. I want more... 🤟👍👍
I'd say it's a tragedy.
The humor he presents unfortunately is going the same route as 1984, Idiocracy, and Gattaca. We're all like, "haha...that's a funny joke."
And then life starts imitating art and we're all "no no, not this stuff please."
Utter bollox 😂
When satire is more reliable than main stream news outlets.

i like how pie showed the smartphone as the problem, that was clever
I liked it also, but it brought to mind a hammer.
A hammer can be used to drive a nail or crush someone's skull, so is it the fault of the hammer that it wasn't used for a better function by the idiot who uses it to crush a skull?
It's the users, not the tools
@@doncollins7743 Agree. Literally today in my country an abusive dickhole of a father, that abused his children, got exposed only because he got caught doing so on a smartphone camera. From there it unravelled - punishments, psychological abuse, up to forcing them to eat from garbage a spoiled salami because daughter threw it out but he decided it is still edible "and in this house I say what goes". And all because he got caught hitting his six years old son on somebody else's smartphone video.
What some people use for blackmail and repression others can use to save lives, pretty much.
@Chris Ace again doesn't excuse volatile discourse. I deleted social media for that reason, but there's no doubt if everyone acted the way they would in real life, standing before a person where there's real consequences to abusive behaviour, social media could be a much nicer place.
Chris Ace - it is more complex, but i think it still ultimately boils down to the manner in which it’s used, or has come to be used.
Don i disagree, phones are now to a point of obsession and addiction, peoples entire lives revolve around their phones. Hes bang on the money here

Black Mirror : Contemporary Reality by fictional character Jonathan Pie.
Yea this feels like a black mirror episode
This is a masterpiece! Such a fantastic take on the state of the media and journalism and society.
Johnathan Pie meets the Office. Love this style makes a nice change.
9/10 would watch more of this format every week.
I'm really digging these longer form doc style pieces.
Glen Nigel Matthews yeah I agree. They’ve hit even harder than Pie’s normal videos which is saying something because those hit harder than anything else as it is.
Yeah I really enjoy the David Brent vibes whilst staying different and interesting
The second time you watch it gets even more serious. Seriously well done JP and your team.
Last time I was this early, we were still in the EU.
me too
That doesn't make any sense
Well until the transition period ends we are still in the EU. So he could be early.
@ oh I fully agree that we have no voice in the one year or so that we are in the EU. Basically we are in the EU in a sense that we have to abide by its rules for one year or so. Not sure about the little bitch part.
Not gonna' lies, fellas, I think you're taking this joke far too seriously.
I keep having to remind myself that this isn't real over and over
All names and places have been changed, but it is all based on a real society/humanity's state.
In the words of Bon Scott "Only the names have been changed to protect the guilty."

In a lot of ways, it is.
In some parallel universe, it is real.
"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter" I think we can safely cut that down to 5 s these days.
@Nspnspker Literally a 'non-binding, advisory referendum' to see where the public stood on an issue that was twisted into an antiestablishment protest vote by rich wankers who don't want to have to deal with the EU's new tax evasion laws. I do believe there's an argument for leaving the EU, it's just most people don't know it. They spout the same inane, meaningless lines such as "take back control" and "Brexit means Brexit" because that's what they've been brainwashed to do by the people that actually benefit from leaving the EU. It's completely fine to have an opinion but the future of a country and union shouldn't be decided on the basis of emotions and ill-placed resentment, it should be decided based on facts and statistics and logic-based predictions. Unfortunately the majority of the UK has abandoned those principles. Luckily for me, Scotland has not.
WeirdestWolf “I do believe there’s an argument for leaving the EU, it’s just most people don’t know it”.
Spot on.
@@sykessaul123 I don't think it was as simple as you paint it. For a lot of voters who are at the lower end of the socio-economic scale the vote was "The Status Quo" = Remain. "A roll of the dice." = Leave. Now when "The staus quo" means self employment, zero hours contracts, eat OR heat, feed the kids OR feed myself, pay day loan to get by for another month etc etc, Is it any wonder "Roll the dice." seemed attractive?
One of the most abhorrent aspects of the whole shit show was watching the country tear itself in two with both sides treating each other like animals. *Neither* side showered themselves in glory yet here we are still tearing strips off each other. That said, the WORST thing out of all this was we actually considered suspending democracy because the result didn't suit. That, in my mind, was the far bigger crime because the freedom to choose also includes the freedom to make bad choices. The nation needs to learn the importance of voting, the importance of voting responsibly and *the ramifications of the vote whether the outcome is for better or for ill* If we end up on the shit pile for the next few decades then that's what we deserve because NO ONE treated the process with the care it required. Right from the moment Cameron decided to go ahead with it, up to, and including, the election in December.
The country needs this lesson and it wasn't worth shitting on the democratic process to spare us from the consequences. If it hurts us, it hurts us. Then maybe we'll end up in a situation where the British really have to pull our collective thumbs out our arses and man the fuck up.
NB. I didn't vote in 2016. Couldn't decide what was best between playing it safe (remain) or taking our chances on uncharted seas (leave) Let's be honest here, playing it safe, given the state of the European economy is only "safe" in very relative, shaky terms.
@Nspnspker That's the thing though. People should be able to sort out what is real and what is bullshit. The fact is they can't, and have shown that they can't on multiple occasions.
@Nspnspker I'll agree with that. I think the only way to update that would be to shock people out of their traditional media outlets. It happened with Scotland after the 2014 independence referendum where the blatent BBC bias/propaganda made a lot of people question the integrity of it and therefore all media. Now most Scottish people get their news and opinions from mixed sources not just the MSM, tens if not hundreds of startups have started stealing the spotlight and are talking about Scotland. Not just Scotland as a small part of the UK but as an actual country with it's people at the forefront of the journalistic picture and that's one of the most refreshing things after seeing Scotland being underappreciated and underrepresented for so long. England needs a wake up call. And it needs to recognise and embrace that wake up call instead of ignoring it. That's up to the people, not the media.
I find it fascinating how he manages to balance cringe and heavy doses of second-hand embarrassment with some of the finest political satire and social insight I have seen in video format.
This guy deserves an award and more spotlight. Way more spotlight.

nature of police is not that they are "woke"/ usually have any ax to grind.. more that they are only following orders or looking to "get a result".. while convinced at the same time that whatever the law says must be the whole of reality.. thus a bit more lazy and stupid and half asleep than the guy shown here ..

It's not even categorized as "hate crime" often, just a hate "incident". Wasting police time and blemishing citizen records for things that aren't even illegal.
Ironic too from a cop, you could almost call it fascism.
As much as there are many things wrong with the US they are way ahead of us on protections against that shit. Its in law that the government cannot do that, and if they do ... well the public have the means to stop them :P.
