Brexit the Elephant thinks it was wonderful to be able to travel and emigrate or relocate temporarily without a visa treating most of Europe as “home”.

“Wonder why some people want to make travel harder and more complicated”, he pondered.

Brexit the Elephant thinks Lord Kinnock is probably right in his assessment.

“But I don’t live in the broom 🧹 cupboard”, he thought, also rather offended at being referred to as a ‘mammoth’. 😱

Brexit the Elephant is with Larry picking up a few ‘provisions’ for the Downing Street pantry.

“Food and living costs are so much more expensive since Brexit,” he reflected. 🍌 🐟 🍗 🥛

Larry sniffed suspiciously at the chicken because it was marked “Not for EU”.

Brexit the Elephant has been in the Palace of Westminster again

🎶 “Do-do-do…. We’re doing the Brexit Conga” 🎵

“They can’t see me… but they still keep on dancing to the tune of Brexit”

I seem to have really rattled the trolls with my candidature for the Council of the European Movement.

Must be doing something right then. Good ho!

Brexit the Elephant has been in the Palace of Westminster again this week to see if any British politician is able to see him yet.

“Doo-doo-doo… Come on and do the Conga” he hummed to himself. 🎵 🎶

Brexit the Elephant was having difficulty getting his paw to scan on the new EES machines at the airport.

“I wonder if it likes bananas,” he mused.

“After all, Brexit *is* bananas”, he reasoned, rather proud of his aptitude for logical reasoning.

Brexit the Elephant was wondering whether the new passport machine in Spain would accept his paw print 🐾.

And he was rather hoping that no one would ask him for an animal health certificate.

“Wouldn’t it have been much simpler to have stayed in the EU?”, he pondered.

“I wonder why, five years after Brexit, the British government still hasn’t tried to solve the 90-in-180-day problem”, wondered Brexit the Elephant

“Do you think they even notice the problems it causes?”

I’m standing for election to the European Movement UK Council because I want to help undo the damage Brexit has caused, to our country and to relations with our European friends.

If you’re a member please consider giving me one of your votes.

Thank you 🙏

Oh I’d ignore that if I were you. It’s just Niall off on a BlueSky bender again. Determined to discredit people but making himself look ridiculous in the process.

Brexit trolls can be very inconsistent:

Opt outs are simultaneously:

- so good (🇬🇧 was foolish to give them up)
- so good 🇬🇧 must not be allowed to have them

But also…

- so bad because 🇬🇧 was missing out on fantastic things to be part of
- so bad because they damage European unity.

Even the EU acknowledges the UK is “far from being an ordinary third country”

At the recent @therejoineuparty.com conference I was delighted to present on behalf of @savefom.bsky.social a keynote speech “Winning the Argument on Freedom of Movement”.

Delighted to see this now from @zackpolanski.bsky.social

It always makes me laugh how some people on here think UK is supposed to sit on the naughty step of the EU for the next few decades.

If Brexit-woe is supposedly “only a middle class problem”

…and the middle classes are indeed cheesed off about Brexit

…then they’d probably be doing a service to the whole country to say it loudly and confidently.

#Brexit is a mess and it needs undoing.
