Lightening the Brexit mood: Led by Donkeys

[Treppenwitz]

For your entertainment:

"Billboard posters featuring quotes by Theresa May and Brexiter MPs have gone up around Dover as part of a “guerrilla advertising” campaign designed to embarrass pro-Brexit politicians using their own past claims and predictions.

A pro-remain group called Led By Donkeys has claimed responsibility for the posters, describing them as the latest in a “public information campaign to remind the public of the statements and promises made to us by our MPs”."

Billboard campaign reminds voters of MPs' Brexit promises

…[they] included a Raab quote, for which he was ridiculed in November when he was Brexit secretary. He told an event: “I hadn’t quite understood the full extent of this, but if you look at the UK and look at how we trade in goods, we are particularly reliant on the Dover-Calais crossing.”

My favorite:

“We don’t have money to do a national advertising campaign. We have spare time, a ladder and maybe a little smidgen of wit. The treasure trove of historic verbal incompetence by our Brexit leaders makes this a relatively easy campaign to sustain.”

And they’re absolutely right.

Not poster content, but here’s a series of tweets comparing Brexit to a submarine made of cheese.
