	Yeah but the silly dog-whistle clickbait keep the Brexiteers busy clicking and sharing, doesn’t it? Those fellas probably eat salami and drink German beer. They’re in no position to talk to us about Europe, are they?

Talking of which, this meme is being widely circulated today in Brexit circles.

	Now we just need Boris Johnson and Michael Gove to account for illegal behaviour by the official Vote Leave Brexit campaign. Labour deputy leader Tom Watson called on Johnson to recognise the campaign acted illegally. “I’m sure the man who seeks to be your prime minister will acknowledge … Vote Leave broke the law,”

This is a big deal as, apparently, they met daily (whether in person or by video conference) to discuss procedure. This leaves Gove and BoJo are directly implicated.

Well, surely the logical date would be 1945 when the war ended? Or do they want another 5 years of horror? Bizarre.

PS: They wrote "my" and not "mine"... sigh.

Well, they're being honest (how unusual), it would probably take 5 years to get everything organized to a new "normal".

Errrr... No. The Battle of Britain—does that ring a bell? "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few". The very definition of British bollocks.

Kids these days... sigh.

(And "my" for "mine" is just one of two mistakes in that meme. But then again, it seems compulsory for all memes to be written by retarded chimpanzees.)

Indeed. Especially as the clocks should be going FORWARD.

Was just going to comment on them going backwards when everyone else goes forward

LOL, I got so used to reading EF that I simply over-read the "my".

The double meaning of bollocks - a Freudian or wanted?

However, didn't someone post the other day, that the EU made memes illegal?

	A present for Loz! Attachment 136379 Wonder if it will reach almost 6 million signatures like the Remain petition?

Now 81,982 signatures after three days, come on Leavers - get writing your bots!!!!

The revoke A50 petition was getting that many signatures per hour

I do not subscribe to the theory that Leavers are not the brightest bulbs on the tree but when they do not know which way to change the clocks......

Yeah, well, I have to double check on google every 6 months too. As the whole system is bollocks anyway I don't feel the least bit stupid about it.

Some stuff is simply not worth wasting grey cells space on.

	No they did not! They wrote that "it would be logical that Parliament needs to approve revocation" but that was a view; not a rule. Edit: so far not much "logical" has happened in the Brexit process.

How could it be any different? The parliament has ordered the PM to invoke article 50, and that order was necessary for it to be invoked. As long as that order stands there can't be any revoking.

But probably most people who spread this meme do remember which way they changed their clocks this morning?

England still had "bollocks" until the end of the war was my point hence why would you want to turn the clock back to when the war was still ongoing even if it was a defining battle... but no worries I don't expect you to get that kind of subtlety.

Ahh, old farts these days...

1940 certainly wasn’t a good year for Britain. But I suppise the will of the people would prefer that to the peace in Europe that the EU has brought us.

Will this madness ever end? Since the Brexit vote, the UK has lost £360 million per week.

I consider that propaganda.
