Better than any history book, the Internet has made it its mission to tell the story of Brexit with “Seinfeld” clips and they are hilarious. Whoever thought of this is a genius!
There’s the one of George as the UK and the sympathetic Jerry as the United States, encouraging him to just pretend the vote never happened.
And then when George takes his advice and shows up at the first post-Brexit European Union meeting. (Hint: it doesn’t go well.)
Then, of course, there’s Jerry as the spiteful Brexit voter taking his decision back almost immediately after he makes it. This video has no sound but it’s definitely worth a watch.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
