The Brexit deal is far from being finalised and the chaos and commotion is increasing with every passing day. Over 12 hours after British PM Theresa May announced that her Cabinet had agreed to the terms of the deal, Brexit minister Dominic Raab and work and pensions minister Esther McVey resigned. However, May vowed to fight for her draft deal with the European Union on Thursday. Hostility to the deal from government and opposition lawmakers raised the risk that the deal would be rejected and Britain would leave the EU on March 29 without a safety net.
Reporting the news, a BBC sign language interpreter went viral after perfectly summing up the chaos. As the news anchor explained that May failed to gain support for her deal from an MP across party lines, the British sign language (BSL) interpreter absolutely nailed the state of the UK in just 12 seconds and people said it’s most accurate analysis of Brexit ever!
The footage is going viral with over 3.5 million views, at the time of writing, after actor and writer Ell Potter and shared on Twitter and people said even though do not know the grammar of BSL, it did not stop them from understanding anything at all.
Here’s how people reacted:
