Brexit Done and Dusted

[hammerofglass]

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

[Frustration]

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.

I for one welcome our gnome overlords.

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):

You won, get over it’: Daily Express throws hissy-fit after UK excluded from EU rail project

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…

What is Brexit anyways.

[Fuzzy Necromancer]

A featherless biped.

[hammerofglass]

A miserable pile of secrets.

[ProfessorDetective]

A failed attempt at having AND eating the cake.

What is Brexit anyways.

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