In the most recent series, The Last Week Tonight (all the latest series are also available on LMT Smart TV), British comedian Oliver analyzed the issue of racial inequality in the judiciary, stressing that in two cities, New England and Hartford, where there is a large Latin American and African American community, , no one has been called as a juror for several years.
–
“If you want to forget a city in Connecticut, why not be Danbury?” he asked.
–
Oliver has listed several things that make Danbury famous – the railway museum, the old castle, as well as the fact that in 2015 Danbury USA Today surveyed the second best living city in the United States.
–
“F…k, Danbury! Connecticut can eat my whole ass,” quite roughly Oliver.
–
It is not entirely clear why Danbury earned Oliver’s wrath.
–
The program was followed by a clever response from the Mayor of Danbury, Mark Boughton. He filmed a video announcing that he would name the Danbury Sewage Treatment Plant after Oliver.
–
“We will call it the John Oliver Memorial Treatment Plant,” the Republican mayor said. “Why? Because it’s full of manure, just like you, Oliver!”
