Fern Brady – Why people voted Brexit
(Comedy Up Late 2018)
And
I wasn’t surprised when Brexit happened, I wasn’t surprised when Trump came
into power. And all around me in the UK everyone was so shocked by these
incidents. People were like: How could people be so stupid as to vote against
their own interests? I was thinking: Have you met most people? Most people are
idiots. Like, every day I get on trains across the country, and I watch most
people repeatedly jam at the train door button before it’s illuminated – even
though that has never, ever worked! And those people are allowed to vote, and
those people voted Brexit.
Last week's complaints:
Dear Mr Smith,
I feel compelled to write to you in order to describe the unsatisfactory root canal treatment I received on the 28th of October. In the night after your treatment, not only did I get a painful infection, but also a massively swollen cheek. Because of this discomfort, I could not work and had to cancel two important customer meetings.
I am bitterly disappointed with your treatment, especially in view of the fact that previous sessions had been always satisfactory. It seems only fair to reopen the root canal and to refill it properly at your expense. Additionally, I expect to receive a compensation of GBP 11.500,- for my discomfort and the lost income during the 2 days without being able to work.
I strongly recommend arranging an immediate appointment to finish the annoying procedure.
Yours faithfully
Claudia / Angelika
Dear Mr B,
I am writing to express my disappointment with the treatment I received at your surgery last month.
First of all, you suggested using veneers to close the gap in my front teeth. Not only was I in pain shortly after the treatment, but also the gap reappeared. As I was bitterly disappointed with your treatment I was forced to see another doctor. On top of that, the other doctor diagnosed gum disease, which should have been treated before placing the veneers. As if that was not enough, four of my front teeth were damaged as a result of the preparation for the veneers at your surgery.
The treatment I received at your surgery was totally inadequate compared to current quality standards. Therefore I insist on receiving compensation for the costs of your treatment, pain, and social embarrassment.
Yours sincerely,
Sabine / Dali
