Huh?

Have no clue who Jonathan Pie is, but this is hardly sticking it to Boris Johnson. Pokes him with a stick, yeah. Effective, no. American comics and even opposition politicians did much the same to Trump for four years with little actual effect. Pissed him off, but changed nothing.

I don't much like Johnson, but this is ho-hum, yawn.

Jonathan Pie is a comedian,

Jonathan Pie is a comedian, he posts on Youtube as a "fake" reporter. I enjoy most of his stuff. Mainly left leaning, but true.

Boris is in an odd situation at he moment. He has broke the law, but in the same way as speeding, parking or littering. You get a fixed penalty fine.

The thing that stings the most is that he did it after telling everyone that there would be little to no restrictions at Christmas, then locking down most of the country. You couldn't visit dying reatives, funerals had restricted numbers. he went on television telling everyone that they couldn't meet up. Now it turns out he had attended at least 10 parties.

It's the sheer hypocrisy. Most politicians in the UK don't live in the "real" world. Most come from a rich privileged background.

Boris Johnson Conservative
Johnson was born on 19 June 1964 on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City,[21][22] to 23-year-old Stanley Johnson, then studying economics at Columbia University,and 22-year-old Charlotte Fawcett an artist from a family of liberal intellectuals.
In 1969, the family returned to England and settled into West Nethercote Farm. There, Johnson gained his first experiences of fox hunting.[33] His father was regularly absent from Nethercote, leaving Johnson to be raised largely by his mother, assisted by au pairs.He and his siblings were encouraged to engage in highbrow activities from a young age, with high achievement being greatly valued; Johnson's earliest recorded ambition was to be "world king"

Boris Johnson was a member of the Bullingdon Club.The entrance requirement was to burn a £50 note in front of a homeless person.
They'd also regularly smash up restaurants - just for fun.

Keir Starmer Labour
Keir Rodney Starmer was born in Southwark, London, on 2 September 1962.He grew up in the small town of Oxted in Surrey.He was the second of the four children of Josephine , a nurse, and Rodney Starmer, a toolmaker. He passed the 11-plus examination and gained entry to Reigate Grammar School, then a voluntary aided selective grammar school.

He a little more down to earth, but seems to be ineffective.

It Would Be Good

If this went viral but I don't suppose it will. Change the name from Boris Johnson to Scott Morrison (our current Australian Prime Minister) and it would all fit just as well except for going to Eton.
