Comedy Central’s answer to the Vote Leave Brexit bus
The worry for leavers is if this meme catches on
A key part in Leave’s narrow victory at the referendum was its success in portraying negative comments about leaving the EU as “Project Fear”. That was two and a quarter years ago and now the Brexit date of March 29 2019 is not that far off.
Nobody appears to know what is going to happen and many are fearful of uncertainty. The political situation at Westminster, how the EU might respond and the worries about jobs might just be the right context for the Comedy Central piece to resonate.
Describing and powerful illustrating Brexit as being like the Titanic could touch some raw nerves. It will certainly annoy the hardliners like Jacob Rees-Mogg.
These days, of course, you don’t have to rely so much on the mainstream media. Social media will get this a lot of views.
Will it make a difference? Maybe. Maybe not.
I still think that TMay’s BINO will be what happens but who knows.
