Facepalm

I created this thinkery in June 2016. That’s probably all you need to know. <cough> Brexit <cough>
Imperial Nostalgia

Boris Johnson: ‘People around the world are going ‘wow – they’ve made this incredible decision to go global”. John Simpson: ‘This is certainly not my experience. From US to China to India to South Africa, people I’m hearing from think we’re opting for imperial nostalgia.’
A very troublesome border

“…because division is what borders do best…” This illustration is from my newsletter. You should really subscribe. It’s full of pictures. You can also follow the Irish Border on twitter these days. As you can imagine, it has a lot to say. I made this image using the Visual Thinkery Remixer platform. A little browser app…
A post-brexit passport

So far, the only emerging upside of Brexit is to have a new-in-my-lifetime-but-old-in-others coloured passport. So in order to help out, I thought I’d throw my own design into the mix.

What? We’re out of the EU? <facepalm>
Brexit: The nation speaks

I think we’ll be trying to figure out what the nation actually said for many years to come. That’s if anyone cares to listen…
