Does Jonathan Pie need to hire a researcher?

I watched a video today by Jonathan Pie. If you’re unfamiliar with his work, he’s a character performed by Tom Walker, who satirises current news stories. I’ve been watching his content for many years and enjoy his tongue-in-cheek approach. Today however, I take umbrage with the video I’ve just seen. (Umbrage, does anyone even use that word anymore?)

Pride in the Face of Adversity

Photo: Isaac Kasamani/Getty Images Uganda is an Eastern African country that made the headlines in 2011 with a proposed legislation which newspapers named the “Kill the Gays” bill. This new law would introduce the death penalty for serial offenders in same-sex relationships. In 2014, the Anti-gay bill was passed and signed in to law by President Museveni on 14th February.
