Aping Wetherspoons’ effort, our readers have designed their own EU referendum beer mats

Farage, Putin and cash down the toilet: your EU referendum beer mats

Like most sensible people, when weighing up how to vote in crucial referenda I like to sift through as much information as I can before making a decision.

So I was delighted to hear that pub chain JD Wetherspoon have ordered thousands of beer mats that warn against Britain’s continued membership of the EU, via the slightly discursive target of Remain-backing managing director of the IMF, Christine Lagarde.

Keen to learn more, we asked our readers to share their own beer mat shaped EU propaganda. And as ever, our readers did not disappoint. We received beer mats from both sides of the debate. Some of them were beautifully designed, some were as half-arsed as the Wetherspoons one.

We loved them all.



Below are a selection of our favourite efforts.

My EU Beer Mat Nigel likes his beer. Does he like to think about how it came to be the way it is?

EU Beer mat contribution It is a beer mat... I think that covers it - Just incase, it is in response to Weatherspoons trying their best to ruin cultural diversity even further in the UK.
