John Oliver has made an explicit call for the UK to “wash away” the Tories at the general election.
The Birmingham-born comedian, host of the HBO series Last Week Tonight, suggested voters have the chance to celebrate its own “Independence Day” on 4 July.
“Britain has a chance to wash itself clean of 14 miserable years of Conservative rule, and it’s a chance it simply must take,” Oliver said, before launching an explicit tirade.
“If we do this, 4 July will no longer be known as just an American holiday.”
