It’s (not) Brexit Day and we’ve rounded up the riot and explosion reports – our 24 favourites
It’s Halloween, or perhaps more importantly, it’s the day that Boris Johnson and his cronies kept insisting would be the day the UK left the EU. They were so convinced they could pull off this feat, that Mark Francois made this prediction.
Mark Francois once said: "If we don't leave on 31st October, this country will explode." And as luck would have it, as James O'Brien was talking about it, Mark rang in…@mrjamesob | #Brexit pic.twitter.com/bJSEuwLxw0

Furthermore, Boris Johnson insisted he would rather be dead in a ditch than get an extension.
Well, surprise, surprise, he asked for an extension, and the UK hasn’t yet left the EU. Between explosions, ditches and the oft-repeated threats that riots would break out, we’ve been checking Twitter for developments, and this is what we’ve found.

Problem with the whole “dead in a ditch” thing is he’s going to have to escalate from there to show he’s serious about the next deadline. Very real prospect we’re about to hear a sitting PM say “I’d rather ram rusty razor blades up my jizz flute than stay after the 31st of Jan”.

The Tories have over 12 hours left to honour their sacred commitments to Boris Johnson dying in a ditch and Mark Francois exploding.

Just heard an old woman on the bus tut loudly while she was reading The Daily Mail.

To the idiots asking if I've exploded yet, I haven't. I was in the TA Catering Corps. I wasn't trained to explode.
However as we're not leaving today, I am organising a Wickerman in Sweyne Park tonight to burn European stuff like Lego, Bikinis and Marxism.#britainhasexploded pic.twitter.com/cp9pMs2EtW

At my local Tesco and a toddler was having a tantrum – it wasn’t about sweets, he was shouting he wanted his sovereignty back NOW but those nasty Remainers had conspired against the will of the people.
The whole store cheered him, then we looted the place. #BritainHasExploded

In a scene of PURE, UNBRIDLED RAGE that is playing out in towns and cities all over the country today, rabid protestors have disguised themselves as an unbothered, totally typical high street. #BritainHasExploded pic.twitter.com/ujn76TdtS3
