We live in what should be a golden age of political comedy.
So how come we've ended up with this guy?
Also, from the comments:
The thing is, you deliver our news in a way where viewers actually want to tune in. Not just due to your satiric humour, but because of your brutal honesty and care towards our politics. Honestly, I'm just some teen who does his thing and goes on YouTube; not giving a toss about politics. But your channel is the only thing close to a delivery of news where I'm 100% committed to watching. So in a way thanks for keeping me informed[.] [italics mine]
Seriously, if people think that watching this guy's videos is a way of keeping informed, on the basis that actually watching the news is far too much effort... Fucking hell. "Thanks for caring about things; it saves me the trouble." We're doomed.

Apathy is golden,
Apathy is good.
Apathy was stolen,
From the misunderstood.

if you think thats bad...
you'd have properly killed yourself if you'd asked teenage me or any of my mates what we thought of the news and politics

This in a week where the two most powerful political figures in the UK had their legs compared on a national newspaper's front cover and the leader of the opposition was asked on a serious news programme, in the week of brexshit, if he would like to manage Arsenal football club. Give the kid a break.

The guy is a self described comedian who recently performed at the Edinburgh Fringe.
If it's not meant as comic satire why the ridiculous name and conceit of being a real reporter having an unhinged rant?

I have never been to the Fringe but it sounds mostly unfunny...mostly.
Once Scotland leave I can go there on holiday with my new English passport and get my £ changed to Scotties or potatoes or mars bars or whatever it is they will be using when the EU says no yahey.

I love how he's got his finger on the pulse of contemporary politics
rather than just having a cheap pop at someone 6 months after they ceased being relevant.

Not loony, no.
The problem is that the conceit, genuine reporter has rant while camera keeps rolling, suggests humour, but there is none. I can see if you like his politics it could be fun. I got as far as "the NHS is dying, it's taking its final breaths". I know the NHS has serious problems, but when anyone says it's on the verge of total and utter annihilation, you know they're talking complete shit. Polemics without humour can only be enjoyed by those who are having their own prejudices reinforced.
