BREXIT supporters have compared the ‘Great Repeal Bill’ to the Magna Carta and other momentous historical events they do not understand.
Passionate Brexiters are insisting the first legislative stage of exiting the EU is a pivotal moment in their made-up version of British history.
Roy Hobbs, from Stevenage, said: “Today we have broken free from European tyranny, like in 1066 when King Harold recaptured Stonehenge from the Vikings.
“The Repeal Bill is more significant than even the Magna Carta, which invented the idea of laws and turned us into a great homeowning nation by allowing every Englishman to buy a shed.
“Let’s not forget Britain was responsible for every major advance in human history, including fire, ships and the internet.
“What has Europe ever invented? Cheese and mime.”
Emma Bradshaw, from Nottingham, added: “This is exactly the same as when Britain saved Europe, Russia and America from the Nazis. If we did all that and still found time to beat the Chinese, then Brexit should be a piece of piss.”
