John Oliver goes off on stupidity of Brexit vote

Britain-born comedian, John Oliver didnât hold back in his review of the Brexit aftermath on Monday night.
A week after his countrymen voted in favour to leave the EU, the host of Last Week Tonight had some stern words in the wake of the decision.
â˘Â Now thatâs what you call a Brexit: Iceland 2-England 1
â˘Â Brexit spurs âBregretâ

âThe UK this week voted to leave the European Union, a decision that has shaken the world,â Mr Oliver said.
âAnd not in a âMuhammad Ali beating Sonny Listonâ kind of way â more in a âthose Ikea meatballs you love contain horseâ kind of way.â
Mr Oliver targeted both sides of the campaign, calling Remain backer and ex-British Prime Minister David Cameron a âpig f*****â.
âDavid Cameron announced he would be stepping down in the wake of the vote, which should make me happy, but in this situation, it doesnât,â he said.
âItâs like catching an ice cream cone out of the air because a child was hit by a car. I mean, Iâll eat it, Iâll eat it â but itâs tainted somehow.â
He then turned his attention to Leave campaigners Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson, slamming their lies about using previous EU funding for the National Health Service (NHS).
Mr Oliver labeled Mr Farage as the âleader of the UK Independence Party and three-time cover model for Punchable Face magazineâ, while the ex-London mayor looks like âa shaved orang-utan with Owen Wilsonâs hairâ.
One of the Leave promises was centred around the $350 million the UK send the EU each week will fund NHS instead, seen in advertisement on buses.
However, the day after the vote, Mr Farage back peddled on this claim.
âOh, now youâre telling us. But it does seem that Farage will not correct factual mistakes when they are on the side of buses,â he said.
âI therefore encourage Britain to take out bus ads reading, âNigel Farage has spent hours trying to put his own penis in his a******â, I presume heâll be silent about it.â
