HILARIOUS RANT: Here's The Truth About The TTIP

PROFANITY WARNING

British Reporter Goes On Hilariously EPIC Rant About The TTIP

When I first watched this, I firmly believed this guy was an actual reporter doing an outtake for the station gag reel. After some digging, I learned that he is Tom Walker, a British political comedian playing a character named Jonathan Pie, and he makes videos like this all the time.

'Hunt's just the fluffer. It's TTIP lining up and lubing up for the NHS.'

The world is waking up to Jonathan Pie, a spoof reporter created by British actor and comedian Tom Walker. The Pie character’s reports on political problems in an alternative way have become very popular with thousands of viewers on YouTube.

Barack Obama’s key message to Europe’s leaders last week was “let’s speed up TTIP”. The US-EU trade deal, formally called the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, has been mired in controversy on both sides of the Atlantic. The “free trade” agenda has become poison in the US primaries, forcing even pro-trade Hillary Clinton to re-examine TTIP.

The next round of talks begin on Monday in New York and Obama is worried – unless serious progress is made in coming months, his trade legacy may be doomed. The problem for the US president is selling TTIP at the same time as trying to warn against the dangers of Brexit. This is a tough ask because TTIP has been a godsend for Brexit campaigners, who argue that the deal is a major reason to cut loose from Brussels.

It’s true that TTIP is a symbol of all that’s wrong with Europe: dreamed up by corporate lobbyists, TTIP is less about trade and more about giving big business sweeping new powers over our society. It is a blueprint for deregulation and privatisation. As such it makes a good case for Brexit.
