‘Satire really does write itself these days’: Hilarious Brexit memes flood the internet as Britons mock new Halloween deadline that ‘sums up the horror story so far’

With the UK heading for a Halloween Brexit, references to the political nightmare that has engulfed the country in recent months were all too easy to make today.

And Britons have made the most of news of the October 31 date given by the remaining 27 EU nations by posting a series of tongue-in-cheek memes on Twitter.

Among them was Simon Williams from Wales, who posted a Beetlejuice meme, saying: ‘Brexit delayed until Halloween… satire really does write itself these days.’

Other Twitter users said it ‘sums up the horror story it has been so far’, the day was ‘so relevant’ and pointed out that the EU has ‘one hell of a sense of humour’.

The second extension to the Brexit process – initially intended to conclude on March 29 – definitively stopped the clock on a No Deal withdrawal this Friday.

It gives Theresa May a further six months to ratify or rethink her withdrawal deal, but European Council president Donald Tusk did not rule out further extensions.
