• The last few days have been a right laugh while hosting my wife's father, who is an amalgamation of every Brexit-supporting cliche you could imagine.

    "I voted for it, but didn't think it would happen"
    "I'm reclaiming our sovereignty"
    "Remainers are attacking democracy"
    "Remainers are traitors to their country"
    "The EU are an unelected dictatorship"

    I sat and patiently listened while this was shouted at me for pretty much a solid 48hrs because I wasn't allowed to voice any opinion on any of it, as he took it as a "vitriolic attack against the will of the people"

    I just resorted to saying "let's see what happens tomorrow" which actually has been way more entertaining

  • Tell him to sleep in the garden - you held a vote and he lost, which means you don't have to listen to him.

    Edit: or show him the Brexit Bingo card you just completed with all of his utterances.

  • Sorry "dad" but in a referendum between my wife and I the results came out 52/48* in favour of making you sleep in the shed.

    "But you plastered the house with posters saying you're spending £3.50 a day on milk and teabags for me which you're going to spend on a box of lemsip and some paracetamol in case you get the flu, when that's false, you already spent that money on tea and milk for yourself and were receiving lovely hot cups of tea as a result, my sleeping in the shed bears almost no relation to that at all, it's just fake news, we need another vote with clear and fair explanations of our options"

    Sorry but it's the will of the people, it's time to take back control.

    "but there's no toilet out there, where will I poo"

    I know it's not ideal, but we figured for the time being you'll just have to make do with an emergency backstop for any exports.

    *within the expected variance of such a widespread poll
