A parody account of our great philosopher A C Grayling. I also call out nonsense/give my opinion on politics - that bit is not a parody. Pronouns: Eu/Euros.
All the clocks in my house (and my watch) will be stopped at 10:59pm tomorrow night and I will NOT be restarting them until Britain has safely rejoined the European Union!
In Bath today - this phone box was fully functioning before we left the EU - look at it now - out of order and covered in weeds.

Does anyone know of an electrician who can change all my wall sockets to 2 pin European ones?
I’ve had several around already and they all say it’s “against the rules” even though I’ve explained that technically my house never left the EU.
Right, that’s the last socket in the house done, and they’re glued in. Yes, they look a bit odd but my house is now fully European on the electricity front.
Wanna charge your laptop at my house? You’ll have to bring an EU socket adaptor!
On 24th June 2016 I phoned the police to report the theft of my EU citizenship. The desk sergeant repeated my words slowly and loudly which, as I later realised, was for the benefit of the other officers. I heard chucking in the background. Bastards the lot of them!
It’s infuriating that in the last 3 matches the non-EU countries have triumphed. Having the audacity to take part in the EU-ros in the first place is bad enough, but lacking the good grace to lose against the superior member states beggars belief 😡
Just landed in Kefalonia. The smile on every passenger’s face told me their happiness was due to more than just being on holiday.
“Welcome back to the EU” I shouted as the plane touched down. A huge cheer filled the cabin. 🇬🇷🇪🇺
Sat in the garden in the sunshine in damn near the middle of May and it’s bloody freezing. It was never anywhere near this cold when Britain was an EU member and that’s a FACT.
@fesshole
Weird - that’s where I met my wife. I’d broken down and saw this beautiful but rather agitated lady at the services. Said she’d be badly let down by some twat she’d met on holiday who’d promised to meet her there. Anyway, I took her to dinner that evening and the rest is history.
If the UK is the first country to create a viable Covid-19 vaccine, the EU deserve at least an equal share of the credit, having generously funded UK activities for so many years.
I’ve spent most of today trying to establish whether Brexit can be classified as a treasonous act under European Law. It’s very complex. I think I need professional help.
I’ve heard many people saying how much testosterone was on display in the Ireland vs South Africa rugby match last night.
Well let me tell you there was a similar amount at the

yesterday. This is our Re-join Haka!
With the devaluation of the Venezuelan currency from about 285,000 per dollar to 6 million per dollar, I can't help but remember this tweet from our would-be Prime Minister...
A young man on the train this morning sneezed into his handkerchief. I thanked him for voting Remain.
“I was only 17 at the time of the referendum” he said with tears in his eyes.
“Next time” I replied with a reassuring smile, “Next time”!
The other passengers all nodded.
@RevRichardColes
SOMEONE looked at the evidence and concluded it was more likely that a number of previously upstanding sub-post masters had suddenly become thieves than a brand new computer system was wrong. That person/committee MUST be held to account.
If the Corona virus removes a fair percentage of elderly UK residents before the end of 2020 (most of whom will have voted Leave) then it wouldn’t seem unreasonable to at least raise the question of re-running the EU referendum.
@Gabriel_Pogrund
Not putting these contracts out to even a fast-track tender is pretty dodgy. That they instead get placed with someone with connections to the party is even worse. There’s going to have to be a public inquiry on this - it’s OUR money being spend after all.
My daughter’s new passport just arrived. Momentarily, I forgot then this monstrosity slipped out of the envelope. No mention of Europe anywhere! I actually sicked back up the Golden Graham’s I’d eaten into my cereal bowl.
Thanks for ruining my breakfast & my day Leave voters!
We have to accept that there was a ‘democratic’ vote to leave the EU but we must also learn from it and do the following:
1. Do everything in our power to reverse Brexit.
2. Never, ever, EVER again let simple minded folk have say in anything that actually matters.
Grassed up my Brexit voting neighbour earlier. He had 6 people in his garden - I told the police it was 7. They were round in a flash to do a headcount. I shouted over the fence; “There’s one hiding in the shed”. They made him open it - he was livid. No less than he deserved 🤣
My oldest fruit tree has died. I planted it in 1973 as part of the tree-planting campaign and to celebrate Britain joining the EEC.
It’s as though it would rather commit suicide than produce apples in Brexit Britain.

I genuinely think it's now time to stop the working and lower-middle classes voting.
Simple rule; if your TV is bigger than your bookcase then you're off the electoral role.
Saw this appalling post on Facebook recently. This sort of offensive content never happened prior to Brexit. I know my followers will be equally horrified by this.
From the data I’ve seen it’s pretty clear that Covid-19 knows Brexit was a dreadful mistake and thus has primarily targeted those who facilitated it, including our so-called Prime Minister.
Been chatting to a pro-EU lawyer this afternoon and he reckons that if we can get the EU to retrospectively decommission Article 50 before the end of the transition period, there’s a chance we could persuade the High Court to declare Brexit null and void.

The difference is that the IRA didn’t have a constitution with an aim to wipe England off the map and to kill every English person.
You can’t negotiate peace with an enemy like that.
@JuliaHB1
This is bang on. It’s based on battlefield principles:
Green = will need next to no assistance
Yellow = need some help
Red = need more help but will survive
Black = will die so would be wasting resource and effort on them
You can guess which category the elderly fall into.
This is outrageous - there must be a court order to remove this horrible image from the internet. It's both embarrassing for dear Tony and completely unhelpful in the fight to stop Brexit. Please do NOT share this!
If I was on Who Wants To Be A Millionnaire and, god forbid, had to ‘ask the audience’ I would insist that all those who voted Brexit had their keypads disconnected.
Two thoughts on this:
a) How the hell do I parody someone who suggests a cabinet minister is a demon in female form who seduces men in their dreams through sexual activity?
b) How do I summon Priti Patel into my dreams?
@Serena_Partrick
It’s the number of people who can’t see a problem with this that is the biggest worry. Even if you haven’t got a sporting daughter, niece etc. surely you can put yourself in their position and see how wrong this is?
Brexiters, just because YOUR children have little prospect of working on the continent (other than as holiday reps), that doesn't give you the right to stop OUR children from securing generously paid, tax payer funded white collar roles in EU countries!
Sadly, we can’t reverse the outbreak of the corona virus.
What we can, should and must reverse is Brexit.
In 2 or 3 years, we can have a discussion about our EU membership and, potentially, another vote if we think enough people still want to leave (which is highly unlikely).
I didn’t have a problem with Gordon Brown but I’ll never EVER forgive him for keeping the UK out of the Euro. We should have adopted that currency WITHOUT a referendum. It would then have been practically IMPOSSIBLE to leave the EU.
Just chased a large fox out of our garden wearing my wife’s onesie and armed with a baseball bat with nails through it. How on earth the creature even got hold of these items is baffling, but it’s clearly a worrying trait in post-Brexit Britain.
@OwenJones84
New Zealand’s entire population is a less than half that of London, plus they are not exactly a travel hub like the UK is.
I’m not suggesting they don’t deserve credit, nor that we shouldn’t question our government but this particular comparison is ludicrous.
@planetjedward
I went into Waterstones and demanded to buy all copies of this book to burn them. They said it’s not out yet but sold me their 1 copy of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (which also features a cross dressing killer) which I burned in the garden at lunchtime.
Did I do well oh wise ones?
Remember when I warned that fans wouldn’t be able to afford football tickets post Brexit? Well, look at the half-empty stadiums now and tell me I wasn’t right!
They are still peddling this horseshit. £500m assumes ALL NHS drugs would be bought from the USA at USA prices.
What percentage of NHS drugs currently come from the USA?
9%. Yes, that's NINE PERCENT.
Labour are scaremongering liars.
“The Tories are trying to play the public for fools on their secret plans to sell off the NHS, in a deal that could see £500m a week drained from our NHS to big drugs companies." -

There’s nothing wrong with this. I won the under 12’s speed skating contest at the roller disco this weekend, having temporarily identified as a 10 year old. You lot sound like the parents at that event calling me a cheat and a bully for knocking down the fastest kid in the race!

@jeremycorbyn
Corbyn was anti EU for 40 years then had this sudden conversion (to having a tepid support for it) which coincided with him becoming party leader - an amazing coincidence when you think about it.
“I think my neighbour is going out on a second run - I want you to come and arrest them”.
Maybe I was a little overzealous but that guy had a Vote Leave poster in his window so he had it coming.
Watching Crocodile Dundee for the first time in 20 odd years.
Remember the bit where he grabs the crotch of the rather masculine looking older lady? Remember the bit where he slashes the jacket of the guy who tries to rob him?
Both those bits were cut out. Pathetic

@paulmasonnews
Paul, let me explain the problem. No matter how crap the Tories are, a significant percentage of the electorate look at these 3, imagine them as PM, Chancellor and Home Sec and think "No bloody way"!
A decent opposition would be miles ahead.
@Nigel_Farage
Excellent - we'll end up getting a deal much worse but just as restrictive as being a member and then it will dawn on those who stupidly voted Leave that it would be much better to be a full EU member. We'll then rejoin but without our rebate and it will all be YOUR FAULT Farage!
I’d promised to keep quiet about this but as several people asked…
When we arrived in Italy I had a quick word with border control and they let Remain voters enter via the EU channel whereas Leave voters had to join the Non-EU queue.

Can’t wait to hear her description of 12 Years A Slave - something along the lines of “A bunch of black guys working really hard” I suspect.

Does tearing up a sign stating ‘Hamas are Terrorists’ constitute support for Hamas? If so then that’s an illegal act and carries with it a significant jail sentence:
This afternoon I was at a game of association football in Bristol. At half time I spoke to a section of the crowd who voted Leave & respectfully told them had they worked harder at school they'd have probably voted Remain. They got so angry I had to be escorted out! Unbelievable.
@fesshole
This all checks out. The number of times I’ve asked for batteries and the shopkeeper point blank refuses to sell them to me unless I specify what device I need them for 🤔
And you can’t lie because they often follow you home and check!
