My son says it means taking out the player without getting the ball, all while shouting ‘Brexit means Brexit’. Sound familiar?
For the umpteenth time, my son, with an Ikea stuffed ball he has had since infancy, is playing football in the living room. He is joined by one of his best friends, an equally football-obsessed 10-year-old who, before slide-tackling in what can only be described as a deliberate attempt to knock my son’s legs off, shouts: “Brexit means Brexit!” Confused, I pass it off as an example of tweenage precocity: which 10-year-old is happy to quote Theresa May while playing football?
I must admit, this gives me some hope for the future.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have politicians whose shallowness and hypocrisy aren’t so easily mocked by 10-year-olds?
This woman knows how to write a closing sentence. Damn.
It seems like a joke they’ve seen on TikTok and repeated. I’d be interested if those kids actually understand what it means.
It’s not like most adults understood Brexit either…
Not a chance!
The thing about Brexit is, they always try to Brexit it in!
Did you see the ludicrous Brexit last night?
Is this the most Guardian?
Peak Guardian: this reinforces my viewpoint, so I’ll report it without doing much digging beyond a quick Google as the readers will love it.
Then the Tory rags will pick it up and run some equally low effort rant about Remoaners and their woke agenda, jumpers for goalposts, snowflakes, etc.
And around and around it goes.
