It'll all be over tomorrow and we can have a nice big seven volume brexit/brexin thread to go along with the Indyref one. Till then, I was just wondering what everyones favourite pieces of satire/humour have been from the past few months.

Most of my facebook is Bremain. The ones I've liked so far have been:

EU to respond to British Independence Day with gigantic spaceships and death rays

And this from some randomer:

friday's going to be amazing! i'm going to wake up in my Union Jack jim-jams to the sound of a squadron of Spitfires racing overhead and leaving a trail of hot buttered crumpets behind them

I'll run to the corner shop past all the british children who are laughing and squealing with excitement as they make a beautiful statue of the queen out of happy wriggling bulldog puppies - with two corgis for her eyebrows!

bunting flutters everywhere and the man from the betting shop steps into the street - "guess what! England just won the World Cup & The Ashes & The Grand National and here's the best bit - Boris put a bet on it for everyone! you're all MILLIONAIRES!!!"

the red arrows fly overhead dropping fish and chips as i walk into the corner shop, get my morning paper and go to the counter. "how much please?" i say to the asian lad there. "1 pence, everything in the whole shop now costs just 1p!" he laughs, "leave it on the counter, i'm off back to Pakistan - we all are!"

and he's right! outside in the streets jolly old nigel farage is leading a huge crowd of happy foreigners - turks, poles, romanians, syrians - there's even a few English people with heavy suntans mixed up in there! nigel's playing Rule Britannia on a long pipe, rather like the pipe that takes the gas into your oven, and they're all following and smiling and talking foreign, bless them!

just then boris flies overhead in a concorde made of Bank of England gold - "don't worry!" he laughs "I've cut out all the bits the French made!" and with that he crashes into the ground at 1200 miles an hour, along with the economy, the country and all the dozy nostalgic foreigner-fearing f*ckwits who fell for his bullsh*t.

I liked that one that was a collection of images showing what will happen if you vote leave. Most distressing one was that my house will become full of twigs.

Saw that posted as a response to the genuine leaflet from UKIP Hemel Hempstead which claimed Turkey would join the EU next year and the Royal Family would be abolished if we voted to remain..

The remain benefits are just as good. A suitcase full of tenners and a turdless garden!

Speaking on the Andrew Marr show this morning, David Cameron has warned that if Britain votes to leave the European Union the DFS sale really, really must end very soon.

Stronger in seem to have a sense of humour. Or they could just be thick as doggy poop.

One of my 'leftist' friends made a witty comment on Facebook about "tripping up old people on their way to the polling station to influence the result". He got a social media lynching by a bunch of old people voting remain!

The Daily Mash has had some excellent ones, lampooning both sides.

I found that rather funny.
I also find it funny that remainers seem to have an image in their head of the motivations of leave voters. I have to say that this false construct of what they think we think is nothing like what we actually think.
It's simply, for me, a case of democracy, accountability and flexibility, where in my opinion the EU does not support these requirements. Sovereignty provides these things or sufficient checks and opportunities to help maintain these things, with or without corgis or crumpets or nostalgia or Farage or Boris, and WITH or without immigration and ethnic minorities.
Vote leave!
Brexit!

Today's front cover of Bild is a good one ...



"Dear Britain, if you stay in the EU...
We will acknowledge the Wembley goal.
We won't make any more jokes about Prince Charles' ears.
We won't wear sun cream on the beach in solidarity with your sunburn.
We will go without our goalkeeper at the next penalty shootout to make it more exciting.
We will introduce tea time, with buckets on the beaches of Majorca.
We will willingly provide the villain in every Bond film.
We'll start "ticking" like you and put our clocks back by an hour.
We'll put through an EU directive which forbids foam on our beer.
We'll reserve sun loungers around the pool for you with our towels.
Jogi Löw will guard your crown jewels.
We will come to your Queen's 100th birthday."
