Saw a bit of that on CNN and genuinely thought it was from SNL. Thought it was some clever cut-up, or some voiceover gag.

But no.

The way it’s filmed with the shaky camera work makes it seem like a scene from a comedy series. I really can’t get my head around the fact that that’s the leader of one of the most powerful nations on earth.

Totally, the slightly shaky camera work, and close up reaction shots made it look just like it could have been pulled from an episode of the Thick Of It.

Controversial opinion maybe but I don’t get why the US nuking of civilians in Japan isn’t considered a war crime. Yanks always say that it was the only way to prevent mass American casualties and end the war quickly but that’s ridiculous. If any other nation decided that mass killing of enemy civilians was preferable to risking their own soldiers it would be a crime

Killed me that bit.

This is amazing.

The bit where the interviewer said ‘lower than the world??’ with that confused look on his face absolutely floored me. I genuinely had to double check the source this morning to make sure it wasn’t some sort of new Armando Iannucci programme
