IF YOU HAVEN’T seen the Channel 4 News voxpop where they ask members of the British public where the Irish border is, please do so now.
Yes, it’s as bad as people have been saying.
At times of great national controversies, one of the best places on the internet for relevant memes is the Ireland Simpsons Fans Facebook page - and they’ve gone into overdrive on the Channel 4 video.
The border debate is one that just fits perfectly into The Simpsons
Don’t you even know the border when you see it?
“Draw where you think the Northern Irish border is”
Last time DailyEdge.ie checked in on the group, there were only 11,000 members. Now that’s risen to over 27,000.
Which means that when something blows up, the quality memes keep on coming
“I’ve sold borders to Antrim, Derry and Tyrone and by gum, it put them on the map!”
It’s an absolute sh*tshow
Which is when the memes hit top form
The founder of ISF Jack Leahy tells DailyEdge.ie that the Channel 4 video has sparked memes on an already popular subject:
Brexit, with its endless cast of clueless characters, is such brilliant source material for a page like ISF. Some of the posts over the last few days in particular have shown how unkindly Irish people take to the current British approach to the border issue. The images and memes may be facetious, but below it all is a keen understanding of border politics. In particular, the takes on the Channel 4 video are hilarious, because this is exactly the kind of carry-on that the Simpsons was written to parody!
As efforts go, it really was worthy of a proper ISF ripping
“In 20 years time when Brexiteers are telling their kids about why Brexit f**ked up Britain.”
As usual, there are too many Simpsons scenes that can be applied
Perfectly cromulent memes, all
