People Are Cracking Up At This Hilarious Brexit Explanation For Dummies

Brexit has, utterly predictably, descended into farce. The world looks on scratching its head while the British, people formerly known for their stoic pragmatism, engage in an epic episode of national self-harm based largely on delusions of grandeur, nostalgia for days past and barely concealed mistrust of ‘Johnny Foreigner.’

However, despite the absolute shitshow that is currently unfolding, the Brits haven’t forgotten one of their more positive national characteristics. Bitingly dark and cynical humor is a reflex response to crisis so while their government continues to blunder from one humiliation to the next, people try to see the bright side by at least having a laugh about it.

The responses to Rifkind’s thread were even better though. Everyone loves a good pun, don’t they? Cheese and its many different varieties lends itself well to a social media pun showdown, and ricotta say, people didn’t disappoint!
