Wait, so what does the factory closing down mean in this analogy?

The factory is the nation, I think, or maybe the entire EU. Western Civilization, perhaps?

Meanwhile there are wildfires spreading. And reports of angry gnomes wandering the countryside.

So we haven't shat on the UK and BrExit in a while... The year overall wasn't very bright, but some highlights were to be had for sure. One of them was the Daily Mail (UK's off-brand Fox News) being pissed for Britain not being included in a major EU-wide railway-project (The London Economic):

Daily Express lash out as UK not included in EU project

One place it won’t be stretching to is Brexit Island. In what should come as a shock to no-one, EU infrastructure builds only occur in countries with EU membership. That’s as clear as day to most – but the Daily Express have labelled the move as a ‘betrayal’.

Yes, really. And although the headline has been edited to something a little more mild, screenshots last forever…

It's like Texas seceding from the United States, but instead it's the UK leaving the EU.
