Johnson tries to rebrand ‘no-deal Brexit’ into something more palatable
At this point, most people know what no-deal Brexit is, and realise it’s a bad idea. Some people still want it, if only because they don’t want to admit they have no idea how to make a deal-Brexit happen.
As Boris Johnson needs to sell no-deal to more than just the rampant weirdos who want it, he’s now undertaking a rebranding exercise.
Mad Men
The proposed new names for no-deal include:
- No-fuss Brexit.
- Fat-free Brexit.
- Brexit for dummies.
- Brexit for people who struggle with those ‘books for dummies’ books.
- The Brex a man can get.
- Brexi Max.
- Brexit Vista.
- B-2000.
- Brexspresso.
- BREXIT BUT IN ALL CAPS AND A COOL FONT.
Several of these potential name choices were tested on the public. Most people asked:
Is it still the version of Brexit where we crash out then Donald Trump swoops down on us like a massive, orange vulture?
Other people said things like:
How about you call it ‘not really a fucking option Brexit’, and you just don’t do it?
One man suggested:
I’d call it the ‘Boris Johnson’ so everyone remembers whose fault it was.
Options
Right now, there’s a 50% chance no-deal Brexit will happen. The other 49% is that we get Brexit Vista, while a final 1% sees us turning it all around.

We need your help ...
The coronavirus pandemic is changing our world, fast. And we will do all we can to keep bringing you news and analysis throughout. But we are worried about maintaining enough income to pay our staff and minimal overheads.
Now, more than ever, we need a vibrant, independent media that holds the government to account and calls it out when it puts vested economic interests above human lives. We need a media that shows solidarity with the people most affected by the crisis – and one that can help to build a world based on collaboration and compassion.
We have been fighting against an establishment that is trying to shut us down. And like most independent media, we don’t have the deep pockets of investors to call on to bail us out.
Can you help by chipping in a few pounds each month?
