These 16 differences between Brexit in 2016 and 2019 are terrible but so very funny
We’ve been hearing a lot about the potential ramifications of Brexit, recently, such as: fresh food shortages, difficulty getting certain medications, even more smugness from Nigel Farage, and these are – mostly – government estimates, not “Project Fear”. With that in mind, some people have been comparing what was promised in 2016 with what seems likely now, and the results – though grim – are hilarious.

2016- "Food will be plentiful & much cheaper"
2017 – "There won't be any shortages"
2018 – "We will have adequate food"
2019- "You might have to fight the bouncer at your local ASDA"

2016
"We'll take back control"
"We'll have blue passports"
"We'll have £350m a week for the NHS"
2018
We'll be stockpiling blood, food, medicine & we've spent more on Brexit than we do on EU payments as well as losing £300m a week from the economy.
2019
