Just how toe-curlingly awful will the 'festival of Brexit' be?

[ska invita]

It's interesting as a state heads towards failure how it simply offers up things to the world proving how senile it is. I bet the yanks have cut the wire to the red button since they see how loopy the place is becoming.

The job role of 'person who cuts the wire ' was eliminated by Trump in February 2017

 

[ska invita]

I'm struggling to imagine who might actually play it. Morrissey and half the Spice Girls?

Im sure it'll be diverse and inclusive:

 

[sleaterkinney]

What about having a lexit tent?.

 

[Yossarian]

Get Danny Boyle in for some hoary old shit about England's green and pleasant land. Then big bad industrial revolution. But miss out the bit about Britain fucking the world over. Then onto being good guys defeating Nazi's standing all alone with a billion in empire behind you. Then the dark times of being a colony in the EU. Then freedom (but not for Scotland.)

Maybe for the grand finale, somebody dressed as St. George could vanquish 27 blue and yellow Daleks representing EU member states.

 

[SpookyFrank]

I look forward to the catering more than anything. Finally we'll get to sample some proper British food like turnip salad, pigeon kebabs and pickled vinegar.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Ringo Starr and Roger Daltrey are brexiteers.

Ah yes, the talented ones from their respective bands. Or second most talented now they've both only got one surviving bandmate.

The Bootleg Beatles and the England band on the back of a truck with little Sun branded Isle Be Seeing EU flags driving up and down the cliffs of Dover doing a several hours long Hello Goodbye/Great Escape medley.

Probably as terrible as the 'Bpop live' festival Leave.eu were planning before the referendum at the Birmingham NEC, headlined - without a hint of irony - by a band that made their name in Eurovision. Other highlights were to be an Elvis impersonator and Kate Hoey.

Their only saving grace being a) it was cancelled and b) the scumbag press gave them a free ride.

"The inquest later heard that senior Downing Street officials had received warnings that the weight of the motorcade could cause sections of the cliffs to collapse, but had dismissed them as 'poppycock.'"

I assume these will all be free to the punters at least. They can pump up the numbers by hinting at the possibility of American air drops of food supplies.

 

[Teaboy]

Well personally I've got high hopes that it was be so hilariously bad that'll it'll almost make the last few years worthwhile. I also predict it will be whiter than a Siberian snowstorm.

 

[Rosemary Jest]

What beer will they be selling in the beer tent?

Tuborg? Heineken? Beck's? Guinness?

Or that old Canadian favourite, Carling?

Neil Horan to MC.

 

[kebabking]

however awful it is - and it will be dreadful - its great entertainment will be watching Guardian writers and remainiacs howl and gnash their gums at how simply terrible it all is.

meanwhile, out here in the shires life will go on, much as it has these long years...

 

[Idris2002]

There were an odd number of Spice Girls.

I'd pay to see half of Morrissey, though.

How about paying to see Morrisey halved? How about that one, big guy?

 

[rekil]

How about paying to see Morrisey halved? How about that one, big guy?

The prospect of two Morrisseys regardless of circumstances is unedifying.

 

[andysays]

Call me morbid, call me pale...

 

[extra dry]

I heard the queen will step down.

 

[8ball]

I heard the queen will step down.

What? At the awful festival?

 

[extra dry]

What? At the awful festival?

Not sure if it will be during or after the event.

 

[8ball]

Not sure if it will be during or after the event.

Oh, I was hoping for sooner than that.

 

[bellaozzydog]

A Weihnachtsfrieden scene,.,snow falls silently, silent nacht can be heard sung gently, Germans jog into No mans Land full of seasonal good will, jeering Britain First squaddies machine gun them down

Union jacks are then flown upside down while some fat skinhead does a monologue about freedom, empires and island races.

God save the queen, case of Stella per man then intimidation of anyone on the tube who looks forin and back home to old mums house in time for match of the day

 

[Sasaferrato]

I suggest that it'll be worse that that festival on some northern hilltop in the 70s where all the stages blew away in a blizzard. What do you think?

When Brexit is set to cost the UK music industry hundreds of millions, the planned "festival of Brexit" strikes a sour note

Brexit is set to cost the UK music industry hundreds of millions, but BrexFest boss Martin Green wants his event to be a "bit of joy". Eh?

On a scale of 1 to 10, 674. Something to be completely ignored I think.

Is DJ Corbyn feat MC Abbott headlining?

Corbyn's hero is John Howard

Dunno, but any nearby remain pubs will be serving bitter.

Or significantly worse than ANY of them, John Smiths and (Farage's favourite) Greene King IPA!!

</runs several miles!! >

 

[William of Walworth]

nearby remain pubs

But where will those be? Do we know where this glorious BrexFest will occur at all, geographically??

I'd far rather go into a rampantly leaver-owned pub than attend such a parody of a "festival" anyway.
Such as a safely distant Wetherspoons
