The finnish song didn't win, we placed 19th out of 25 finalists. But we'd rather be legends than winners anyway. Also the short haired singer is a voice actor in finnish version of paw patrol and originally agreed to only do a demo, they were supposed to find another singer by the time of our national selection.

[@enzorocha2977]

I know what you mean-comedians such as Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, etc. certainly bolster your point-and the context in which you made your statement. But as fun as it is to mock the so-called "journalists" in the mold of Piers Morgan, Tucker Carlson, or any of the talking heads/panelists at Fox (a propaganda network, tbh), it's important to make a distinction and remember the many who've made the ultimate sacrifice trying to bring truth to light with their reporting: Anna Politkovskaya, Jamal Khashoggi, Dalia Marko, etc. Putin infamously has murdered Russian journalists who dare investigate his actions. Add to that list the many more who have died covering war zones. You might not consider them "the heart and soul of our society" because, hey, I'll admit they don't bring as much joy as the entertainers, whom I truly appreciate for what their wit and humor brings into my life, but I cherish a dry but straight, incorruptible, brave journalist doing their job well, too.

How surreal to have a British Prime Minister of Indian ancestry whose way of thinking echoes Reginald Dyer's. (The character Edward Fox played in "Gandhi," a.k.a. The Butcher of Amritsar.)

[@AZ2PM]

They've got great researchers on Last Week Tonight, but all the key criticisms of the Sunak policy don't hold up. * That it won't work (9:30) - In Australia, it did work. The conservative Liberal party there had a sudden surge of migrants in boats in the 00s, so they made a deal to deport them to another country. The numbers dropped to almost 0 within weeks. The more left leaning Labor party then dropped the deal, and immediately the boat arrivals returned. Thousands again. Many dead by drowning. The old policy returned and immediately numbers back to near 0 and hasn't been a significant issue for over a decade as it became bipartisan. (source: BBC "How Australia wrote the 'stop the boats' playbook") * That it's too expensive - Based on the above, the reply here (8:30) was valid. While per person its expensive, if like Australia the deterrent works, it should go down to near 0 and save millions of dollars and lives from drowning. Additionally, for every refugee that arrives, on average it takes 3 generations for them to not be an economic burden to their new nations (Economic Assimilation of the “Third Generation”: An Intergenerational Mobility Perspective, Sage Journals). So there is a cost to taking refugees (although personally I feel it's more humane to take them, that is the economic reality and the politicians arguing that are not wrong) * Rwanda not being safe (5:43) - It's actually ranked one of the safest countries in the world. - 37th safest in the world (one place HIGHER than the UK in 38th) (source: Global Finance Magazine "The aftermath of a global pandemic re-shuffles Global Finance’s ranking of the world’s safest countries.") - 6th safest for solo travellers (source: "Rwanda the 6th safest country for solo travellers, new survey finds" Euro News) - Safest country in Africa (source: Statista "Safest countries in Africa 2024") * Lastly, that they are desperate and fleeing to the UK 'out of necessity' (9:30) - the vast majority come from the middle east and Africa. To get tot he UK, they are passing through many safe nations and regions they could take shelter and file the same refugee claim. But they choose to go to the UK. If they were desperate they would stop off at any one of those other european nations - in fact the UK would be one of the furthest options from both those regions, which is why the UK government are right to have some suspicion. I'm very much pro-refugees, but Last Week Tonight mislead the facts here.

@@AZ2PM Wonder why you don't go into details on the criticism of Australia's human rights abuses concerning 'boats'. Or why you suddenly say 'refugees' instead of 'migrants' when you talk about the economic productivity. Or why you insinuate this is the only possible way to prevent people from drowning in the Channel. Or why you simple just leave out the fact that the UK themselves didn't consider Rwanda safe until it got convenient - and funnily enough will force people to stay in Rwanda WHETHER their asylum claim gets accepted or not. After all someone 'very much pro-refugees' would never deliberately manipulate facts like that right? Afraid I can't call you out without the comment being banned :(

[@jsper07]

@@AZ2PM There is literally no way you can say you are pro-refugee and write what you wrote. The Australian policy you reference in its first iteration sent refugees and folks seeking asylum to detention centers they built in other countries like Papua New Guinea and the island of Nauru, detention centers that have since faced international condemnation for their harsh treatment of detainees, many of whom were/are children, and for violations of international law. Furthermore, there have been decreases in boats more recently because of how the Australian navy has intervened and threatened violence against boats coming in or even cases of the government paying boats to turn around - both pieces illegal under international law regarding asylum seekers. Is this what you call “success?” People seeking safety being imprisoned, threatened, or paid off? There are also flaws with your argument against the show. You name that the show claimed that Rwanda was not safe. The show said that the UK government declared it unsafe and then Sunak’s admin pushed a new policy to declare it a safe haven. How is that the show claiming anything about Rwanda’s level of safety? Despite you claiming to be pro-refugee, this really feels like you critiquing the show’s research to justify anti-asylee and anti-refugee viewpoints.

Hello non-HBO Max friends. Nice to get the show in full and early here on YT!!

Those fines will just be passed on to the customer over the next 18 years. They should really pin down the prices of medication before doing something like this. Tobacco just passed the 260 Billion fine they received on to the customer because of course they would, just another business cost!

[@kevinalford]

Those bolo things are going to be an awful lot of fun around the ol’ presinct.

[@ghanshyamgohel6110]

I want to say thank you to the guy in the comments who recommended Eledator to me. You've been very helpful. Thank you!

[@kani75]

Those toilet fireworks disturbs me. Things should go into toilet, never come up from it.

[@Ravus_Sapiens]

Thank you toilets, and thank you John for the 900th episode on the opioid epidemic.

[@pedro4464]

Not gonna lie, the bola wrap seems pretty cool.

[@maleficent532]

Oh, John I 100% agree toilets are the best invention. I really also enjoy plumbing in general and refridgeration. None of which get the praise they regularly deserve!

[@Kimble81]

Finland! ❤

If they want to buy those Bolos - they need to first buy the other device, the one that makes suspects move slowly and keep their arms close like seen in those "demonstrations" :D

[@Awoken_Remmuz]

Yeah you know Eurovision drew trouble when you get a work email talking about looking for people in masks and call the emergency number if you see anything strange (I work in public transportation for anyone curious)

[@ameliecarre4783]

In that context, it sounds like sour grapes.

Malcom in the midlle really was something

[@CssHDmonster]

why did they censor my boy win95 guy

[@Elora445]

So people would think he was naked on the scene. I suppose. Also, weird rules about censoring in some countries.

[@aoilpe]

Gratulation to Switzerland 🇨🇭 for the win of the ESC…!

[@s3minisue207]

A deluxe package including get back, Let it be and the rooftop performance would definitely be the icing on the cake

[@mrviggomartin]

BolaWrap ,the gadget is a must have😂😂😂christmas wrapping will be so much faster

[@rovvy221]

imagine being American but have to watch this with VPN :O

[@wenerjy]

I'm American and I flew to Mexico to watch this :)

[@XaeroDegreaz]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Is this how it always is? I typically watch from Korea, but I'm back in The States for a couple weeks. Jumped on the VPN and it worked. Does it typically unlock after a day, or so, Stateside?

[@wenerjy]

@@XaeroDegreaz It is region locked for the US until Thursday

[@justinhamilton8647]

I can’t believe we went from “you’re never getting another clip on here again” to “here, have literally everything” in the span of like a week. i love this show lol

[@Anonymoew]

USA can't seem to stop amazing me. It's like watching the preview of the end of the world.

[@ForestRaptor]

Really got the money's worth from that Fanfare Toilet graphic XD

[@hennarusi9841]

I'm one damn proud Finn right now 😂

[@mdrazzad]

I believe this show cut down John Oliver's life expectancy by at least 30 years. Seeing him so young in recently uploaded Season 1 shows and old in Season 11 really makes me worried for his health. Hope you are keeping well John. Great fan of you. Hope we see you in this great show forever and ever and ever.

[@ernstschwaig4667]

Milton Friedman a Nobel price winner for economics 1976 recommended the legalization of hard drugs in one form or another 30 years ago because the war on drugs had badly failed back than and only got worse since.

[@jasonblalock4429]

For that matter, Milton Friedman also advocated for a form of universal social security, called the Negative Income Tax. I'm not a huge fan of him, but when even Friedman gets one right, things have definitely gone wrong.

Rishi Sunak should pull a Windows95man stunt to spice up British politics.

[@mikechiu9767]

Holy shit. I've always assumed they were just ruthlessly deporting Rwandan back to Rwanda and just realized they are deporting any random asylum seeker to Rwanda. What the actual fuck?

[@jantarjunior]

I am from Poland and I had never got enough money to travel to Africa. So is the British PM suggesting i could just fly to London on a cheap Ryanair flight ask for Asylum and so get a free air ticket to Africa on HM government expense? Is that guaranteed?

[@mikechiu9767]

@@jantarjunior LOL. You'd have to take care of your return flight though.

[@juusolatva]

unsurprisingly the British Rwanda asylum plan has already inspired the Finnish far-right party in the government and they want a similar plan either nationally or EU-wide.

[@badwrongbadong]

Shocking seeing as immigrants are causing huge problems in every western country, Where their numbers are getting high

[@rice5817]

Oh boy.. you are also having far-right bigots going nuclear? (I'm from Sweden, so.. I've seen what they do too 😅)

[@doko3000]

I know software engineering but I don't have a college degree. I speak two languages and I'm currently learning a third one. Tell me why I should be okay with random people being accepted into Finland, when I myself am in South America and I'm refused the same treatment? Should I try via boat instead?

[@qv43v]

​@@doko3000 feel free to claim asylum. 😊
