Ms. Trussās victory on Monday followed a long summer of overlapping and escalating crises in the country: Inflation soared to double-digit figures and continues to rise; nationwide strikes have crippled the train networks, the postal service and trash collections; a heat wave brought the first drought in 20 years; and Brexit and the pandemic conspired to ruin many familiesā first overseas vacations in three years.
We turned once again to the fictional broadcast journalist Jonathan Pie, performed by Tom Walker. In the satirical Opinion video above, he takes viewers on a tour of a broken Britain and argues that Ms. Truss is not well equipped to fix it.
The video contains some strong language and adult humor you donāt normally see in The Times, but we think Mr. Pie is the perfect conduit for the frustration and desperation of millions of Britons.

He started out as satire, but now he's just the voice of common sense

Four doctors are talking. "The Indian doctor says, medicine is so advanced in India that we cut off a man's liver, put it in another man, and in 6 weeks, he was looking for a job."
The German doctor replies: "That's nothing. In Germany, we took part of a brain, put it in another man, and in 4 weeks he was looking for a job."
The Russian doctor replies: "Well, we took half a heart from a man, put it in another's chest, and in 2 weeks he was looking for a job."
The Britain doctor laughs: "You are all behind us. A few years ago, we took a human with no brain, no heart, and no liver, and made a Prime Minister. Now, the whole country is looking for a job!"šš¤£š

Lived in the UK for 14 years the decline I saw in those years was astonishing.

As a Brit this is depressingly spot on. Even our legendary love of satire is pushed to the limit when Pie hits it this much on the nose

Omg... You know something is terribly wrong, when satire has turned to a man screaming facts into a camera, and instead of laughing you just start screaming too...
Nailed it...

In the two weeks since this video was published, things have actually gotten worse...
Tax cuts that only benefit rich people, the value of our currency tanking, and inflation to rise ever higher

"Ruled by a government that is ruled by corporations." Perfectly summed up. True in the UK and America. This is why company regulation is needed, because when they say "deregulate" they aren't talking about us, the people, they're talking about billion-pound/dollar companies that want to do whatever it takes to make more money.

Explainer for anyone watching this from outside the UK. This is NOT satire. It's just a statement of fact.

The most sickening thing about this (its the same here in Ireland) is the energy companies keep making record profits every 3 months. Every 3 months is the most successful 3 months in the companies history while they are telling us they are doing their best to help people.

As a Sri Lankan, I can absolutely say āI know this feeling, Britsā.

This turned out to be an understatement, time for an update from Mr. Pie where he features people in desperate need of an ambulance and/ or medical attention while they rot on a gurney in a frozen hospital ward corridor.
And why stop thereā¦ every industry has lost its workforce due to Brexit. Professionals are low wages and are leaving, another brain drain. Meanwhile, the rich get richer! Up the revolution people, strike be it criminalised or not!

Genuinely true Liz Truss claims Ā£79 for Amazon Prime. Her expenses make interesting reading for someone that doesn't like handouts.

"We shouldn't tax people and then turn around and give them benefits..."
Isn't that what a government is suppose to do? Redistribute wealth and buy into social programs that raise the general living standard?
So what she is saying is: " once we have your money, we will keep it for ourselves."

A true national treasure in the tradition of Jonathan Swift.

Why are you calling this 'satire'? Literally everything he said is true!

Satire is no longer satire.

Yes, spot on as always. He just forgot itās also near impossible to get a driving test in the UK (1M backlog and counting)ā¦ oh and the new King wonāt pay inheritance tax because it only applies to mere mortalsā¦ š¬

It's sad to see what's happening in Britain, the UK has all my heart. I really hope better times will come soon for the strong British people

To our American friends, this is not parody or exaggerated; this is true and accurate.
