Whether leave or remain, at this point in Britain’s long and tortured bid to leave the EU, we're all pretty fed up, right? More than three years have passed since we heard the results of the historic referendum, but "Brexit Day" has finally arrived. Cue a nationwide sigh (of relief or regret, we'll never be entirely sure). For those in need, here are the best Brexit Day memes to cheer you up on this bleak day.
At 11 p.m., Jan. 31, 2020, the UK will officially embark on its journey to… well, who knows what? All we know is we'll be out of the EU. Well, in an official sense at least. The fact is that negotiations are still ongoing, and may be for some time. As the Guardian reported on Jan. 28, negotiations about the UK's post-Brexit relationship with the EU will not begin until March 3 and may go on as long as ten months, or perhaps longer. However, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he is not willing to extend the negotiation period past December 2020, per the Independent.
With that in mind, there's still a lot of Brexit-related news coming our way in the next few months (at least). Well, at least we have the memes...
We are the EU Girls...
Who could forget The Cheeky Girl's last-ditch attempt to promote EU togetherness back in 2016? To the tune of their classic hit Cheeky Girls (Touch My Bum), our favourite Romanian pop stars urged us to "Come and smile, don't be shy. Referendum, this is life!" Poignant, really.
"Does that mean we won't have any trees?"
