March: Brexit Crunch Time

Image
As the presumed final Brexit deadline of the 29th March drew closer, the madness ramped up to, what were then, unprecedented levels. A petition to revoke Article 50 got six million signatures – many of which were repeat signatures or from foreign actors – and it wasn’t long before Guido unveiled the gruesome posts from the petition’s creator threatening to shoot May and how to buy “ legal ” guns. Remainers also launched a line of merchandise nobody was calling out for, including a ‘commemorative’ tea towel with dead Brexiteers on .  This bust-up between Farage and Soubry is a good reminder of the anger between both sides, and was one of our most-watched clips of the month… Despite not getting Brexit in March after 412 MPs voted to delay Brexit yet again, we did get a few laughs; not least from Dominic Frisby’s 17 million f**k offs , German comedian Henning Wehn on  Question Time  and a sidesplitting ruling from the court of appeal tearing apart every argument in lunatic rema

April: The Rise of Greta

Image
After the Brexit turmoil of March, our attention instead turned to the environment with the appearance of both Greta Thunberg – whose mother, it transpired, was a Eurovision star –  and the posho climate communists, Extinction Rebellion; headed by walking stereotype Robin Boardman-Pattinson who, after a life of luxury at his £18,000 a year education and Bristol university education, didn’t practise what he preached when jetting abroad for his skiing holidays .  Unsurprisingly, Guido readers particularly enjoyed this clip of Boulton giving him a dressing down … Brexit continued to lurch on in its ever more unsure and compromised form, with Theresa May announcing she would begin seeking a soft Brexit stitch-up with Corbyn and Bercow breaking Commons rules yet again to give more opportunities to remainer MPs to block or substantially soften Brexit – despite the amendments already having been voted on.  He wasn’t the naughtiest character of the month, though, with Fiona Onasanya ret

February: Brexit Party Gets Started

Image
The Brexit Party only launched in February , won a national election in May and flamed out in December. It changed the course of history, pulling the Tories out of their rut, and convinced Tory MPs they had to install Boris.  All in a few month’s work for Farage… There was a raft of #DespiteBrexit news, with EU investors considering moving operations to the UK and Nissan continuing – and boosting – their operations (which surprisingly didn’t get the same attention as the project fear warnings car manufacturing would be wiped out by Brexit). It wasn’t all good news for followers of British politics, however, as we were subjected to nutty Cambridge professor Victoria Bateman constantly getting nude for Brexit .  With Rachel Johnson also following suit … On the topic of tits, February was also the month Corbyn finally settled on turning Labour into a second referendum party (the last time there was any inkling of decisiveness with his Brexit policy); the Independent Group was for
