Hang on where is the ditch Boris said he wanted to die in today? What time are we getting there and should we bring our own snacks?

Just took my 93yr old Dad to riot, he's registered stupid. In a very loud voice he said "Help me set fire to this bin & chuck it through Oddbins window then we'll go down Spoons" & a cheer went up from all the pigeons & a DHL delivery driver.#BrexitRiots#BritainIsExploding

In Clacton, a 49-year-old postmistress has spitefully bought a pint of milk from Tesco instead of Lidl, 5p saving be damned #BrexitRiots

Reporting from the front line this morning, I can confirm that Brexit hasn't been mentioned once in my office. Not once.
But there's a massive and lengthy hoo-ha about someone pulling out of Strictly, and how it's a bloody fix actually.#BrexitRiots

While I personally would rather be dead in a ditch, I have my dependants to think about. It simply wouldn’t be fair on Laura Kuenssberg.#DieInADitchDay #BrexitDay

A joint of gammon looked at me in a hostile way when I was in a shop. It chilled me to the core (though they could be because I was leaning into a fridge) #brexitriots

Writer and editor, Ash Sarkar came to a conclusion.
It’s October 31st. We’re still in the EU. Boris Johnson isn’t dead in a ditch. Mark Francois hasn’t exploded yet.
You can’t trust the Tories on a word they say.

Perhaps that’ll be on the election leaflets.
