FORMER Tory leader William Hague believes that the UK can get through Brexit fine as long as it remains ‘high as shit’ throughout.

Hague, who lost the 2001 election while drinking 14 pints of beer a day, believes the UK will need stronger medication in order to cushion itself from the economic shock of leaving the EU.

He said: “Look at stoners. They run out of everything all the time, and they’re fine.

“No mugs, no jobs, no cleaning products, a sheet blu-tacked over the window instead of curtains and as long as they’ve got skunk, baccy and Rizlas they couldn’t care less.

“Six-day queues at Dover? Who cares, we’re stoned. No flights? Who cares, we’re stoned. No medicine? Have a bang on this mountain medicine, mate. It’ll get you through.

“All we need to do is convert every unoccupied garage, warehouse, flat and business premises into a cannabis farm and we’ll get through no problem. And happily the UK’s gangs have met us halfway on that one.”

He added: “And if it’s a hard Brexit we’ll need hard drugs. That’s simple logic.”
