http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/society/brexiters-excuses-increasingly-bollocks-20160707110366A MANS excuses for problems clearly caused by Brexit are getting increasingly desperate. Leave voter Martin Bishop has been struggling to convince people that all the bad things experts predicted were nonsense, due to them all starting to happen.
Bishop said: The pound has plummeted but thats excellent news for exports and tourism. Think what a boost it will be to those souvenir stalls selling teddy bears dressed as Beefeaters.
And its probably just a coincidence that loads of racist attacks occurred at the most nationalistic moment in recent history since the Falklands.
Colleague Donna Sheridan said: Martin thinks everything supports Brexit. Today he said making it harder to travel in Europe would rejuvenate classic holiday resorts like Clacton-on-Sea.

Makes sense that satire reads as news in the current circumstances. Nothing would surprise...

Own your disastrous, duplicitous results, you bastards.

However, this doesn't read like satire, because I have seen/heard equally ludicrous things over the past 2 weeks.

....this is how the conversation in my local pub runs most nights. People who voted "leave" making increasingly desperate arguments.
