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 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.
