This old Rik Mayall sketch is going viral because it sounds so much like a Boris Johnson Brexit speech
First came that old Fry and Laurie sketch that went viral because it basically summed up Brexit.
Now people are sharing this Alan B’Stard speech from the 1980s because it sounds just like Boris Johnson, Jacob Rees-Mogg or any other Brexit loving politician you care to think of.
Have a watch for yourself.

Sadly, there will be people who don’t recognise this as satire.

The slogan behind is a particular bonus.
