As an older sage said yesterday to me: "the rate we're going it'll take longer to leave than it took to win the last war, good job this lot weren't in charge"
The tightly reasoned argument of the sticker presents another side to the discussion.
What Brexit looked like almost 100 years ago as British military hardware is loaded as the troops evacuate from Cork. There is so much to see in this shot, the ships, the buildings and the vehicles. Make sure to pronounce vehicles properly, VEH HICK ELL, try it and see?

He may looked deflated and trampled on, but he's still smiling because he knows he stands for what is right: democracy. And whilst others may try to steal his freedom from him he will rise again and again. He will never surrender to the liars, the cheats, and bullys who try to take what is rightly his.
You've never seen an ugly penguin, a nasty penguin, a bad penguin. Penguins are fun. Penguins are nice. Save the Brexit Penguin. He deserves a better world.
Even if the British do leave the EU
they still get to keep that cool flag of theirs.
That is, of course,
until Ireland and Scotland secede.
Designed on my plane back from UK which I visited just days after the Brexit vote. The British Flag itself can be used as a tessellation molecule and tiled. I plan to fold a tiled version of this Union Jack Tessellation when time allows.
Here you can see the location of the teddy sculpture - quite high on the wall! I wonder how many people walk past completely unaware!
Mr. Bean's Teddy in Budapest is a small bronze statue created by artist Mihály Kolodko. It is located on the wall of the former British Embassy at Harmincad utca 6, in District V, near Elizabeth Square and the Kempinski Hotel. The, sculpture is part of a series of mini-guerrilla art pieces hidden throughout the city. (From Google AI)
...is the scheduled withdrawal of the United Kingdom (UK) from the European Union (EU). Following a June 2016 referendum, in which 51.9% of participating voters voted to leave, the UK government formally announced the country's withdrawal in March 2017, starting a two-year process that was due to conclude with the UK withdrawing on 29 March 2019. As the UK parliament thrice voted against the negotiated withdrawal agreement, that deadline has been extended twice, and is currently 31 October 2019.
Trying to practice mail art in post-Brexit Britain is becoming harder, and harder. It seems that postmen, and postwomen, who are still familiar with Monty Python are no longer around. Because I reused my Council Tax envelope, which was asking to confirm in case I just moved to this address, the postal security team has decided to not deliver it to Japan especially that some French text peered through the envelope's polythene window.

As suggested by Jacinto Oliveira, this is a great analogy for Brexit (10, Downing street).
Man on the Moon by R.E.M.
‘Now, Andy did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Andy are you goofing on Elvis, hey, baby?
Are we losing touch?’
'Andy' refers to Andy Kaufman, the American performance artist and professional wrestler. He was well known for his pranks and elaborate ruses. When he died in 1984, age 35, some believed him to have faked his own death.
I think the song touches on how the media has led to a culture that encourages us to ‘believe anything we hear’ without necessarily questioning it. In this atmosphere it becomes deliberately difficult to determine what is real and what is fake.
In the modern world it is hard to be an ‘expert’ on everything that affects our lives. I do, however, find it disconcerting how bad the reporting is on the handful of topics I do know something about.
The picture shows one of the new IEP ‘Azuma’ trains. There have been many wild claims from the government about the performance of the train, all of which have proved to be wrong. In the words of the Star Ship Enterprise’s engineer Scotty, ‘ye cannae change the laws of physics!’ Or in Michael Stipe’s words ‘IEP better than an HST, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!’
I chose the duotones of burgundy and blue to represent the current ‘excitement’ in the UK surrounding the change in our passport colour post-Brexit. The latest ‘news’ is that anyone who mocks the change is part of a ‘metropolitan elite’, I think my reply would have to be, '£350 million for the NHS, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah'!
I recently saw an interview with Mike Mills, guitarist with R.E.M. He expressed disappointment at how many of the themes of the album ‘Automatic for the People’ were still just as relevant 25 years on. At the end of the interview Mills did give a positive note in which he likened humanity to Sisyphus rolling his boulder up a hill, two steps forward and one step back. Let us hope that next year is a ‘two steps forward’ year!
