This makes me chuckle:
Not so smart after all!
This says it all really - just watch the video here:
[I must stop nicking things from Twitter]
Here is the prototype for the new British passport cover (that, without a trace of irony will be made in France).
Keep nicking 'em, Paul @anon88169868, our cups overflow, your reward will be great.
I’d even kiss Her Majestic Hand for one of those!
Apparently the graphic was used by the Express for an article on the passports being ready for summer this year.
You really could not make it up!
Well someone did, and I found it rather endearing, and even touchingly poetic, the elderberry line (a bit of plagiarism there, perhaps?).
Loving these badges
@Anglozone Where can I get them?
other online sellers available, some won’t deliver to France but couldn’t find any on .fr yet…
Thank you Graham. I like that one!
Isn’t the title of this thread an ‘oxymoron’ because there’s nothing humourous about Brexit.
You learn something every day!
I always thought an ‘oxymoron’ was an oxymoron of ‘noromyxo’.
But it clearly isn’t.
OK, I’m going out, hat and scarf on…
'bout time we had a little more Brexit Humour

“Hello, IT? My economy has stopped working.”
“Have you tried -”
“Yes.”
“Okay. Check settings. What does it say under software?”
“Compatible with EU membership.”
“Do you have that?”
“I just uninstalled it.”
“Er - Why?”
“Honestly, I can’t remember. Something about fish?”
“Is your fish industry running okay?”
“No, actually that was the first app to crash.”
“You see, that one really needs the EU platform installed.”
“Really? But my mate told me fishing would run better without it.”
“He sounds confused. Can you reinstall your EU app?”
“That might be hard. I threw it away. Also, now my economy has completely crashed. It’s not letting me install anything. All these trade deals have stopped working too.”
“Sounds like you’ll have to buy a new licence. Unfortunately without the old one it’ll be pricey.”
“What about this app my mate gave me instead? It’s called Sovereignty 45.”
“Mate, don’t touch that. It’s malware. It’ll reduce your economy down to the levels of 1945.”
“But those were the glory years! Weren’t they?”
“Mate, when were you born?”
“1960. Why?”
“And do you have strange marks on your fingernails, indicating vitamin deficiency?”
“I do! How did you know?”
“An inspired guess. Listen - don’t touch anything. Restart your economy in safe mode, restoring Single Market and Customs Union. That should sort it for now.”
“But my mate said those things let in viruses.”
“Is your mate’s name Nigel by any chance?”
“Yes! How did you -”
“Another wild stab. Those aren’t viruses, they are EU workers, and they are vital to the smooth running of your systems.”
“But I clicked on a pop-up that said it would get rid of them all for me.”
“Yes, I’m beginning to deduce your modus operandi. Well, at least you’ve called me now. You’ll just have to run your economy at half-power until I get your new membership installed.”
