Political correspondent parody Jonathan Pie, aka comedian Tom Walker, is going viral for his hilarious rant regarding the recent UK strikes – and it’s a tad sweary.
Unless you’re living under a rock in the UK, chances are you’ve heard about ongoing strikes either from the news or from Brits grumbling about the inconvenience.
Nurses, Royal Mail workers and rail employees have organised strikes throughout December, bringing major disruption to the festive period during disputes over pay and conditions.
Thursday (December 15, 2022) marked the month’s first walk-out by NHS workers; up to 100,000 nurses are expected to take part in strike action. A second strike will follow on Tuesday, December 20.
Leave it to Jonathan Pie to speak up against the UK government with his signature aggressive yet passionate delivery – he’s hit the nail on the head fans claim.
And more background from the BBC:
Nurses in England, Wales and Northern Ireland have started a nationwide strike in the largest action of its kind in NHS history.
