Rishi Sunak has sought to endear himself to the voting public by explaining that, just like you, he had to go without things as a child.

    Point taken. I did look it up because I expected half of it to be true.

    In Australia we have two satire sites called Betoota Advocate and The Chaser which sometimes are about 80% factual (about conservatives).

      I actually ran into National Anti-Corruption Commission rules that some corruption is cool actually from The Chaser just a while ago

        #Robodebt will have at least created a generation of citizens who understand the level of government corruption. It was an actual conspiracy.

        My favorite Chaser is from their TV show when they dressed as Bin Laden and bypassed security to get near George Bush.

          That was one impressive prank to pull, goddamn. I would have been scared to death of being shot by American cops
