Whilst the government's attempts to rip up the Northern Ireland Protocol are both serious and shameful, we don't get anywhere by responding with only outrage.  So, tonight for some light relief, we are running a Brexit comedy evening at 7 pm UK time via ZOOM https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81072241054 

The material is taken from our book "Private Eyelines - Have I Got Fake Brexit News for EU".  Here's the full description of tonight's event:

Please join us this evening at 7-8 pm on ZOOM for a night of Brexit comedy, yes, comedy!  We can either laugh or cry about the wilful destruction of Britain by Brexit. I'd rather laugh. Politicians can't cope with that, having had a humour bypass operation as part of their induction to parliament.  This event heralds two new books that I have written.

Satire reaches the parts that spreadsheets, graphs and logic do not. Brexit provides a rich dark seam of tragicomedy in a Kafkaesque world of gaslighting, shapeshifting and shameless lies. We live in desperately sad times. But simply drowning in the sadness of Brexit does not help us deal with paranoid populist politicians. Bittersweet levity cuts through people’s minds to their visceral core. Simply stated, satire heals.

Populist media brainwashed leave voters to believe in Brexit unicorns. I tried my hand at parodying these media to expose the lies on which the Brexit hydra reared its many ugly heads. I found that people rather liked my gutterpress pages. Some even believed that they were real!

To change minds on Brexit, it is not sufficient to break the parliamentary paralysis which continues to enable the slow-motion destruction of Britain. Nor is demographic change, aka death, a success recipe. We must actively work on the huddled masses. People almost literally eat lies for breakfast from a biased populist media, owned by people who seem just a little bit too friendly with Vladimir Putin. Private Eyelines opens up the conversation anew with Brexiteers with buyers’ remorse, or Remainers numbed into submission by six years of bullshit and bullying from our so-called political leaders.
