“How the Thomas the Tank Engine characters voted in the EU referendum” is hilariously accurate
8.
EDWARD: Remain. Campaigned for Remain and genuinely changed the minds of a lot of angry disenfranchised people who blamed the EU for their high street being boarded-up. Is very sad these days and misses the 2012 Olympics. pic.twitter.com/aWN1aCjxYn

DIESEL: Leave. Voted Leave to be an edgelord and "piss off my fucking do-gooder sister and her virtue-signalling wanker husband". Votes Brexit Party. Lost factory job in 2011, benefits were cut in 2016, has had to move in to mother's spare room ever since. pic.twitter.com/2aCPaWkexw

BERTIE: Remain and very optimistic that we won't leave the EU in the end. Makes the joke about having a lie painted on his side probably too often these days, it's been a while and he should get a new joke. pic.twitter.com/VtJLm2l7Ay

DUCK: Leave and if anyone disagrees with him he just gives them an unwanted hug, really gets in their personal space, shouts over the top of them in a jolly voice. Says "we'll never know" about Prince Andrew. pic.twitter.com/LqbUCpSLP3

DONALD & DOUGLAS: Donald voted Leave, Douglas voted Remain. They haven't spoken since late 2016 and their dad has told them both separately "this is killing your mother". pic.twitter.com/PymHCN6HT1

HAROLD: Leave and VERY embarrassed about it. Googled "is EU in Europe" the morning after the referendum. pic.twitter.com/kO54a8DmyE

As an extra bit of fun, see if you can identify yourself, your friends and family in the list.
