Meme-ageddon for Tories as ANOTHER attempt to humiliate Labour backfires
Remember that terrible “chicken” meme the Tories made to humiliate Jeremy Corbyn, that went horribly wrong for them when they got owned by KFC?
No?
I’ll let Adolf explain:
Now they’ve made matters worse.
The new meme is an attempt to show the difference between a Conservative Brexit and one organised by Labour:
🔵 Only @BorisJohnson and the Conservatives will get Brexit done and move the country forward.
🔴 Labour and Jeremy Corbyn offer only more confusion, delay and division.

There’s only one problem: Labour has never been in control of the Brexit process. The Tories have been in control all the way through, and the UK still has not left the EU.
And we all know it.
So a few clever souls took it upon themselves to correct the Tory propaganda:

This one refers to Boris Johnson’s claim that he would rather be “dead in a ditch” than begging for an extension to the deadline for the UK to leave the EU. That comment has spawned a series of satires all of its own, of which this is just one example:
There are many of these takedowns out there. Have a look on the social media for some more if you like – or make one yourself.
Have YOU donated to my crowdfunding appeal, raising funds to fight false libel claims by TV celebrities who should know better? These court cases cost a lot of money so every penny will help ensure that wealth doesn’t beat justice.
