The United Kingdom has been in quite a pickle for the last couple of years. Since the June 2016 referendum, in which 52% of the country voted to leave the European Union, the UK had been stuck in an endless conflict as well as a political nightmare while the government tried to negotiate the terms with the EU. Even though the government officially announced the country's withdrawal in March 2017, the process was delayed due to deadlock in the UK parliament.
After many failed negotiations, several changes in the parliament and general uproar from the people, the UK left the EU at 11 p.m. GMT on 31 January 2020. And while many people rejoiced, others couldn't hide their shame and disappointment. Oh, and as always, there was a third group of people. The ones who made dozens of memes to make fun of the situation. And that's exactly what we're going to focus on. So scroll down below and check out the spiciest memes and don't forget to vote for your favorites!

Despite the parliament ratifying the withdrawal agreement and the UK officially leaving the EU, things aren't completely done. The 31 January event only began the next phase in the Brexit process which is a transition period that is set to end on 31 December 2020. During that, the UK and EU will negotiate their future relationship, like trade deals and other policies.
While in the transition phase, the UK remains subject to EU law as well as remains part of the EU customs union and single market during the transition. Despite that, the UK is no longer part of the EU's political bodies or institutions.
that's how life was all over USSR. Only in Lithuania (I am here too), where was said to be major milk and some other products making country in whole union was a lesser shortage and shorter queues. There were some other but very regional exceptions and still depending on the item we are talking about - no one was out of deception. We were the best living in the union - still first to quit .

I remember this in the UK in the early 70s before we joined the EU, back to the 'good old days'
Only a Russian speak like that. When the Brits will need cheap labor they will change their mind again. Britain is the seed of white supremacy. So, as a lowly Italian and not an Russian oligarch or a white supremacist Britain, god riddance !! Global powers like England, Russia, China and US are toying with the world to get first in line to grab resources. BTW- Maybe you had no food, but European countries like France, Italy, and England, were floored by US bombs. What treat precisely ? You should hear how they talk about Russians. Hilarious really.
Non of this has happened and we are in the middle of a pandemic, so many fools around
Errrrr We will get cheap sugar ( from WI ) and cheap bananas ( from WI ) and cheap tea ( from India and Sri Lanka ) and Oh I forgot they are not ours anymore....... YUK.
Not back then. It was the 80s. They had stores that sold items in sections. For example meat. Everything was behind glass(like in coffee shops) and behind the counter a woman would sell those items. But since their was a deficit they would get one item in bulk and people would stand in line for that item. Everyone had money but nothing to buy. Very difficult times. My parents often tell stories of that time

It references the fact that the government may sell off the British health service, and also Brexit was largely motivated by racism and xenophobia, which explains the ‘at least I’m white eh?’ bit. Love this one. Edit: for the people who were unsure about the meaning
Kermit has a butt crack zipper!! Sorry but that just made my day.
We (the USA) are trying to replace our chief clown. Check back November.

Now the U. K. is going to have to listen to " I told you so" forever. One way or another.
The UK has anyway been a big PITA for the EU. Fare well, sorry not sorry.
I think perhaps this should have been titled "30 anti-Brexit memes". They all seem to be anti or neutral (like the 1GB ones). None are positive. Yet this is what the people of Britain have voted for (twice), so I wish them all the best. No point in being negative about it. It will only increase the chances of failures.
Once. We voted once on exiting the EU. We wanted a second vote after we found out the first one was steeped in lies and propaganda but our government has apparently decided that 48% against 52% is clear-cut. Besides, the 2 major parties both wanted to exit the EU so the main choices for the general election were exit the EU or exit the EU.

This is being book marked!! Not only will it show what a success Brexit was, in the face of a dying EU project... It will also show how pathetic the venom and hate was, from the people within our society who disagreed with Brexit. Rather Than rolling their sleeves up and working hard for the good of our entire country, they would rather carry this bitterness around with them, as they think that this will personally effect them. Shame on all of them! The EU needs to go... In favour of a common market.
"In favour of a common market." <-- that's exactly what the EU was designed to achieve. Now you have to deal with the US on your own. As a Canadian we have been fending those morons off for 200 years. We have been fending off consistent attacks and destruction against our health care as US insurance companies want in. Now you will feel these attacks and the US does not play fair. Your easy pickings now.

Racists and dumb trash will ruin their own lives just to ruin someone else’s. It was a 2019 theme. Maybe the new England can be a place to quarantine them.
The fact that you view the decision so simplistically really just shows you have little to no understanding.

If Brexiteers had posted something similar we would have been blasted. I find none of this amusing, in fact I find it frankly insulting to both the UK and its' people. I'm very surprised that Bored Panda actually posted these insults.
Show us a pro-Brexit meme anywhere on the internet. You might find some in US evangelist media or in Moscow.
