[@DingStiing]

"Divorce is not a one way street." Someone should tell that to the Brexiteers.

[@innesmacneil]

Lmao that’s like saying Wife: I want a divorce, you keep abusing me Husband: No Wife: OK

[@tartanguy8714]

I'm Scottish...I love this it's good banter...I even saw John bishop live at the Scottish hydro and he was a great laugh and loved by the crowd...any person offended by this or says bishop is anti-Scottish...GROW UP

[@leethomson4497]

Tartan Guy i agree i love england but the indyref is a matter of principle and yeah adams right they have opinions and wont change my mind on how i feel about england or her people!

[@J0sh_395]

Don't worry lee. At this rate ya gonna get another one soon.

[@RuudJH]

Of course it's funny, but if, after hearing this, you still didn't vote in favour of the independence, you have to consider what's most important to you. After all, Bishops remark that divorce is a 2 way street, in practice outside comedy, should be complete bs.

[@MoveOnUpMusicEvan]

Tartan Guy it's a shame England and Wales left the EU and this debate was kind of pointless now

[@blueglasgow4402]

I was going to comment, but why bother now. You summed it up just perfectly. Can I hate you lol

[@Shandorth]

Hes a comedian guys, take a chill pill. Scottish and proud, also likes to laugh

[@lindacurrie8817]

Yes he is a comedian

[@deltadoublevictor411]

I'm Scottish, I have a sense of humour, this doesn't offend me lol!! John Bishop's a funny guy!

[@emneeson]

Absolutely brilliant. And that's coming from a Yes voter. It's called humour.

[@Rob749s]

"It's like a hostage situation". Yeah, that's pretty much it.

[@ItsRuthiee]

"that was the most patronizing thing i've ever said" at least someone is acknowledging it.

[@hannahunsworth1079]

Love how Josh thinks that all Scotland is worth in a hostage situation is 1000 Euros

[@philaeew4866]

at least it's Euros... ;)

[@bradoslav36]

Hannah Unsworth €1000? That's like £50,000,000 isn't it

[@krashd]

Give it a few years mick and it will be, we are only at the beginning of our adventure of flushing the country down the shitter. It won't be until around 2020 that we can count how much of our banking sector moved abroad or whether we can afford to even keep the 2nd carrier in dock or should just mothball it completely.

[@MikeWal2]

Hannah Unsworth That's what the (canny) Scots were offering.

[@IlIIlIIIIIlBrianSt0rm]

That's about £880 XD All Scotland is worth is apparently a 4 person sofa or a new 4K TV

[@kflem80]

If you're easily offended then you really shouldn't be looking up a topical comedy show on youtube

[@gezzarandom]

For those having a dig at John Bishop, it was just a joke FFS but he does have a point, in ANY relationship if one party keeps saying "I'll go, I'll stay, I'll go I'll stay." The other party is going to eventually get fed up and just say, "You know what, just go, leave."

[@TheMrsnikkisixx]

Well, no.. John Bishop is English.

[@restlessentertainment9760]

Liverpool, same as the Beatles - and me

[@junbh2]

But he's wrong about saying 'divorce is not a one way street'. It literally takes two people to stay in a relationship and if either decides to end it, then it's over. You don't get to keep someone married to you against their will 😂.

[@DrewSavo]

I love how Adam brings Paul Hogan in as a typical Australian stereotype. '70% more barbecues, 40% more beer was drunk, and Paul Hogan brought a bigger knife!!'

[@kevinfox298]

As someone who's half-English and half-Scottish, I had faith that Scotland could make their independence work perfectly over a five year adjustment. I was just pissed I couldn't vote on it.

[@TheWeejimmykranky]

Ok, I'm Scottish, I'm voting YES. But that was hilarious ;-)

[@abbiescott627]

I love the idea of Scotland being its own country but it's not as simple as it seems

[@UnicornPastelPrincess]

Am English and I live in Scotland, and to say the truth I don't really give a shit what Scotland does.....

[@India.H]

Fangirl correction: We never have a Scottish Doctor Who. We have a Scottish Doctor. Doctor is the character. Doctor Who is the show.

[@Shaestel]

+Indi Heaton ACTUAL fan correction: the show itself has regularly referred to him as 'Doctor/Dr Who'.

[@moregasmthepowerful2959]

R-R-R-R-Rickety Rekt

[@MrHaydnSir]

Love you.

[@mhl8396]

I'm guessing if they did vote to leave, they would have to re-run it as they wouldn't have understood what they are voting for.

[@EdgyShooter]

I personally thought Gordon brown looked like he was threatening to strangle anyway who voted to leave 😂

[@holdyourplums4204]

We, in England, need Scotland more than they need us. If Scotland goes, we'll be stuck with a permanent Tory government & we're all fucked then...!!!

[@elainemackenzie6394]

Actually, you wouldn't. Scotland's votes have very little effect on the overall U.K vote.

[@thebrexiteermarkh1417]

Holdyour Plums i dont vote Tory but theres no better option at the minute. UKIP are not as much of a challenger without Nigel, comrade Corbyn and the commies will never win and the Lib Dems are anti-democracy.

[@krashd]

Elaine, I think he meant the fact of having our veto on UK-wide subjects, like the tory plan to build more academies left, right and centre which was only blocked because any change to the English education budget has a direct impact on what we get allocated so SNP opposed it and the complete privatization of the UK education system has been staved off for a wee bit longer. You could tell it must have been a good thing because it had the mouthbreathing Daily Mail readers calling us Scots all sorts of interfering bastards despite being too thick to understand that more academies means their tyrant kids would never be accepted in one.

[@StewysGameplay]

SNP are the 3rd largest party in Westminster?

[@mickyalberta3484]

John Bishop is wonderful!

[@abbiescott627]

I don't think Scotland could get anymore Scottish , according to England we even speak our own language

[@connorlyon4221]

When this happened I felt bad for my brother because I struggled enough in geography about the EU Britain and the U.K. If Scotland wasn't apart of it I would be surprised if he killed his teacher

[@Lynneheal]

#JohnBishop is the best.

[@markshorrocks5056]

Bishop is a brilliantly big bright bugger of a bastard. LOL-city here mate. Good luck with your Scotland tour. hahaha.

[@lovelybitofbugle219]

So true 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@RyanCocoMusic]

all the people getting upset, calm down it's a comedy show and you're getting worked up over some jokes. Lighten up or don't watch it, simple.

[@casperwallace9685]

It's not funny.......its constant. and Scotland is a bit pissed off with it now.

[@markshorrocks5056]

After Kenny Dalgliesh......LMFSO! S equals socks btw. Surely THAT`S gotta break some ice....

[@IlIIlIIIIIlBrianSt0rm]

Can John Bishop be a regular on the show please!

[@Jay-lr3me]

Some in the comments are taking bishops jokes a little too seriously

[@markshorrocks5056]

Excellent upload mate!

[@janetpotter8101]

Top man

[@mcwolfus2]

If the vote had gone the other way, then the Scottish economy would have been fucked due to the oil prices. England is propping up Scottish spending, and there would also be millions of 'refugees' coming to Scotland.

[@townhillboy.8648]

Shut up you fool. Scotland produces more than it gets back. Stevie fucking wonder could even see that. Moron.

[@raoulhery]

Let em be.

[@stewartorr8149]

If this doesn't convince Scots to Vote Yes then I dont know what will.

[@theawesomeleprechaun]

As far as the English are concerned, the worst part of independence was we would have to move our nukes

[@alexturlais8558]

we could always leave them there. just drop them on Edinburgh

[@davidjackman2742]

+I am Your Father damn Scots, they ruined Scotland!!

[@alexturlais8558]

David Jackman Doesnt take much to ruin it :)

[@gangstermedia9039]

3:05 BLOWJOB BY A GHOST LMAO

[@tkmaz]

Please cut me some slack here - I'm American. :) I never heard of John Bishop until I saw him on the Graham Norton show on KZbin, he sounded Scottish to me. I looked it up, he's from Liverpool. There's quite a lot of space between Liverpool & Scotland so the question is.... does the Liverpool accent extend northward towards Scotland (even if it becomes more distinctively Scottish)? Again, I know all areas of the UK have different accents just like America has but I was just curious if there is a similarity between Liverpool area & Scotland...or if I just don't hear it because it's foreign to me.

[@Inurendo88]

+tkmaz Nah, you'd be surprised how regional UK accents are. Head out 30 minutes to the next city and you'll hear a different accent. The Liverpool accent is pretty much quarantined to that area.. Thank fuck.

[@tkmaz]

Chris Wallace Thanks for the reply. I suppose I can kind of liken that to here...I'm in Arizona & we have fairy bland western accents, "generic" if you will. But if you go up north to the hicks, small towns & "country"...you can get a twang that doesn't exist in the city.

[@gseezy3538]

+tkmaz The Liverpool accent is actually more Irish

[@tkmaz]

***** Thank you & I'm a lady. ;)

[@dylanmorgan2752]

The Liverpool or 'scouse' accent is from Ireland as at one point in history at least a third of the population was Irish, Manchester a neighbouring city had a similar ethnic makeup and so the Manc accent also shares more very diluted similarities to the Scouse too. However important to be noted is that while some examples of the Scouse dialect can be off putting it can also be a thing of beauty, in my opinion one of the most attractive accents in Britain, especially when it's up against shite such as a Brummie accent. Geordie is stomachable however.

[@williamdevling9499]

Absolutely hilarious

[@the_godfather9974]

When you don’t wan‘t them why won‘t you let them go

[@martincosgrove5961]

Don’t ask Nicola Sturgeon to complain over the phone she only likes to showboat on camera she’ll do anything to get interviewed on camera.

[@townhillboy.8648]

Wow. Here it is folks an ass hole can speak.

[@BS3RED]

Just thought I would ask all the Pro Scots....How did the referendum work out for you?

[@peteflynn3923]

As an American it's none of my business but I am glad that Scotland stayed united with England and Wales. The United Kingdom has an incredible legacy of accomplishments. Certainly there are issues that divide them, but I can't imagine one of our American states doing this, even assuming there was any constitutional basis for it. Scottish Independence would have been a great tragedy.

[@MrMrCoshy]

Pete Flynn But we arent a fuckin state, we are a nation

[@MrMrCoshy]

Pete Flynn Completely different issue altogether from a state leaving

[@scotinternationalist1373]

Pete Flynn I guess you yanks want to come back under Westminster control and that revolution you had was a waste of time ...... looking forward to a new tea tax

[@babbieanne]

Scotland being independent from a larger state would give it control over what kind of country it wants to be. The way things stand the parliament in Westminster gets to make the big decisions and no matter if the people of Scotland want something different we do not have enough representation and our. 59 MPs votes against 600 can never win a vote. The union is in no way equal. The fact that Scotland is a country and not a region of England makes your comparison to an American state wanting independence is ridiculous. Up until 300 odd years ago, Scotland was an independent country. A closer comparison would if the USA would like to give up its independence and pay all taxes to the Westminster government and let it dictate how much you can have back and how much it will keep for defence, benefits and for the infrastructure in England (mostly vanity projects in London and the south east) but certainly not for any in the USA (that will have to come from your pocket money). Get it now?

[@ynotnilknarf39]

Scotland already has a huge amount of control over itself and is currently making a fucking hash of it, Scotland leaving will see poverty increase massively, health decline and the economy go to fucking pot. Frankly I wish they'd fucked off so we can invest more of the English money in Northern Ireland and wales.

[@benniegauntlett3464]

for some reason Adam hill is right, the bitter together lot won but hey...now we are even more scottish then ever!!

[@gilmccomb8740]

I'm Scottish. John Bishop is so funny. If he was serious then good on him for being honest. He was funny. If he was joking then he was still funny.

[@user3.1112]

My zippy round Liverpool specs

[@cjmastablasta]

I`m not offended one bit with what he is saying. I just find the fact that he claims to be a comedian insulting and offensive.

[@puppetoz]

Sorry to see so many bitter people with such nasty comments. My heritage is Scottish and I want to see Scotland thrive no matter which way they go but I'll be damned if I can see any advantage to them by going it alone- wish them well regardless

[@casperwallace9685]

Hmmm....1 equal voice within 27 voices versus 1 voice in 4 where only 1 voice counts......easy choice really… Where we can trade with 500 Million and 65 Million, including the new big deals with China and Japan just set up which Trump is dying to get in on - best of both worlds

[@XxTeAmDaRkxX]

West Lothian question look it up

[@lindacurrie8817]

Don't worry the Scots will not do as they are told never have we fight our own corner, always will. Would help greatly if citizens of England demand a vote then Scots would get independence. Win win situation.

[@lesleybalfour4746]

Watch this space John bishop !!!!!!! We don't need you !!!!!!

[@gerrymcwilliam3472]

He actually talked about this at the Hydro and felt as though he had to apologise. But I felt as though he over did it on the sorrys. But it's just jokes I know that but a comedian should never over compensate on apologies but he seemed okay.

[@munstermutch]

He was worried about losing many tickets on Scotland gigs, which i heard happened.

[@foodholes-vicswholefoodsra919]

John Bishop yo

[@trickynicky4268]

John Bishop; really? Well why did WM beg us to stay. The UN states that every country has the right to self-determination, without interference from the other country in the union they are leaving.

[@wulfnabbanethellanglo-saxo3905]

I was really interested in the Scottish Referendum because I live in Canada and we have dealt with Quebec independence for a very long time. I was glad when Scotland voted to stay. Whenever Quebec separatism rears its head, investment in our country drops, our currency loses its value in international markets, ethnic tension increases, and the every day business of the country is held hostage. But I think Prime Minister Trudeau's multicultural plan of the early 1970s has finally come to its fruition. There are so many ethnicities in Quebec today that the vision of an independent White, French-speaking state in North America can no longer be realized. Parizeau himself said the separatists lost the referendum because of the rich and the ethnic vote. Non-white Quebeckers quickly realized what the Parti Quebecois was really about. Cheers!

You’re the only one. The whole world hates youz arrogant and ignorant. As this programme shows. 4 English talking about something they know fuck all about.

[@philadam928]

if John bishop thinks that let them have a vote

[@mattc7191]

errrr....they did. the vote is what the joke is based on

[@christhomas5341]

AMEN! HAHA

[@amya8045]

I've always thought that john bishop was Scottish😂

[@karlanthonymargate7362]

Scouse, so he'd probably want to leave England too

[@YOYO-mx6ie]

Imagine kevin bridges on here, ranting about black ppl. This is the same. Total racism

[@Michael-Oh]

Guys they're comedians THERE JOB IS TO ENTERTAIN BY MAKING JOKES! They where probably paid to talk about the referendum/ rehearse the show.....

how europeans feal bout the british atm

[@FireBombx3]

This cracked me up but genuinely lost a little respect for Bishop

[@TheDarkStoryVault]

I thought the very same thing.

[@FireBombx3]

I lost respect for the fact he couldnt voice his opinion without insulting a country.

[@ladyguru00]

Nope he's a thick Liverpudlian....hasn't a clue what he's talking about!

[@sarge7047]

#irishreferendum or you know the troubles ll

[@tigereye1208]

A Scouser talking about paying bills on time baahaahaa. What would they do without the dole. Good old Liverpool.

[@slamblamboozled1245]

This is the only time I've seen anyone on this show being somewhat rational. With most issues they take a sharp turn to the left, no matter what the facts are.

[@casperwallace9685]

Roll on independence......

[@jakehayes1998]

I like the scots especially in the union but the followers and the snp are stupid in actually thinking will gain something which they won't. Better together to work together in the fastest growing economy and make it work and fix problems together...

[@StewysGameplay]

you're a moron

[@K1NKYG4M3R]

What like when we voted to stay to protect our place in the EU and then vote to stay in the EU and get dragged out based on England's decision? Aye, that's really fucking paying off for us and everything's going fucking swimmingly. Twat.

[@Cruithneach]

This aged well...

[@casperwallace9685]

Well that didn't age well eh

Always thought Bishop was a bit thick, but ffs...THIS thick????

[@ladyguru00]

***** beg to differ....he's thick!! :-/

[@markshorrocks5056]

ladyguru00 Come on ladyguru, he`s as quick and witty as they get. You need a sense of humour perhaps. Just wondering where you got your moniker from though. No ego involved there eh? Correct me if I`m wrong.

[@slamblamboozled1245]

Comedian makes a joke, you disagree with the joke. "Omg he's so stupid!". Tell me any point where he's factually wrong, then you can call him thick, moron.

[@lukegarcia3238]

Did you know that Scotland runs a deficit budget of over 10% annually??? Did you also know the EU fiscal compliance cap for deficit spending is 3%........ thats a whole lot of cuts to public spending, hope ur ready for that...... smh

😂😂😂. Here’s another clown who knows fuck all of what he speaks.

[@andrewsenior351]

[@Thumtwiddler]

With pleasure mate, with pleasure. But cry into you're milk too much, you'll still have Wales and N Ireland to boss around and make you feel like England's still important.

[@justliam2768]

I won't be crying as much as you when you're trying to figure out how many groats and scabby donkeys there are to the pound as you join the rest of your proud countrymen in England...since that's where they all end up anyway.

[@Thumtwiddler]

hahaha, funny because you English seem to like Scotland too, can't move in Edinburgh or the Highlands without bumping into one. And actually, I still live in Scotland, just for the record and have absolutely no plans to move to a country so overcrowded that it's virtually bursting at the seams.

[@TheGreatStKat]

Enough abuse. It's not funny. What it is, is cheap 'kicks' from an ex-scouser (I've known far better natured, and funnier people living in Liverpool, from when I lived there) aimed to pleasure an abusive ex-partner of Scotland. Just playing off the Grate Brutish mass's. Sycophants without options, but to suck up to a serial abuser, even their own, in history. Amazing themselves, and tribal clones, in an emptying school playground of conforming mediacracy. And so, with a gathering chorus of whining, I bid the Sassenachs farewell. Goodbye. I'd never want to be you. Adio, and ciao, until I avoid you again ;0]
