Never Gonna Give EU Up? – The Funniest Brexit Protest Art

by Torbjørn Jørstad

The UK’s divorce from the European Union is (potentially) right around the corner, but the journey has been anything but smooth. From the 700,000-strong People’s Vote march, to the near daily protests from both sides outside Westminster and Number 10, there’s no denying that the 2016 referendum has caused long lasting, nationwide polarisation.

However, one thing has united the fronts throughout the last two and half years – a creative outpour of protest art, conveying both pro- and anti-Brexit messages in the most hilarious ways; be it by puns, memes, costumes or satirical artwork. Here are some of our favourites:
