Brexit secretary promises Britain won’t descend into a “Mad Max dystopia” and Twitter reacts with jokes

‘Britain will not be “plunged into a Mad Max-style world borrowed from dystopian fiction” after it leaves the EU, the Brexit secretary has said.’ reports the BBC.

Of course, if you say that everyone is going to explode. Here’s the jokes. We picked the best seven:

Holy shit. The chief fucking negotiator has moved from "Brexit will make your life better" to "we're not going to club each other to death on big death trucks like they did in Mad Max" and we haven't even started phase 2. https://t.co/j11nLoQLab

So FIRST we know that brexit is going to be a catastrophic nonsense AND THEN the tories say we don't even get a hilarious mad max dystopia which means I've superglued spears to a mini metro FOR NO REASON

The funny thing about the Brexiteers who drone on about a hard Brexit is most wouldn't survive a day without their driver, let alone in a Mad Max world. Unless Jacob Rees-Mogg's nanny can beat a marauding mob to death with a Telegraph, he's doomed.

But what if we WANT a Mad Max style dystopia, Mr David “so called democrat” Davis? Eh?

David Davis: There will be no ‘Mad Max’ Brexit. We’re thinking of going for the Bespoke ‘Planet of the Apes’ model instead #madmaxbrexit #planetoftheapesbrexit pic.twitter.com/s4qIH0JMtm
