Ian Hislop’s magnificent post-Brexit rant has gone wildly viral again and no-one does it better
Ian Hislop went viral this week with his magnificent takedown of Conservative Jake Berry over the government’s handling of the Post Office scandal.
And a most spectacular and supremely satisfying watch it was too.

And we mention it again because it is presumably the reason why another fabulous Hislop intervention went viral this week. Cast you minds back to 2016 and the immediate aftermath of the Brexit vote.
And while it might be eight years ago – actually, it definitely is eight years ago – it’s as sadly relevant now as it was then.

Nobody does it better.
What a pity people like Ian Hislop, Martin Lewis, Jo Maugham, Carol Vorderman etc are not in government, they care about justice and the lives of ordinary people, not just pleasing their donors and billionaire chums.

I cried when the #Brexit referendum result was announced. Ian Hislop articulated why I was right to feel so desperate and fearful. Here he is in 2016 telling it how it was and is. https://t.co/swzIu4VIMz
