2019 was undoubtedly the year of the protest. On Brexit, Boris Johnson and climate change, the British people brought their a-game, especially when it came to hilarious (and brutal) signs. Here's ten of the best, ranked.
Â
10. From Block the Coup, some excellent pun work.
Â
9. More wordplay, hand picked by the Stop Brexit Man himself, Steve Bray.
Â
8. Glasgow delivering Theresa May in meme form.
Â
7. A throwback to the days of David Cameron at the People's Vote March.
Â
6. When protest banners got 3D.
Â
5. The contrast between British politeness and bluntness summed up in two pictures.
Â
4. From Leeds: keeping it simple.
Â
3. Summing up the generational divide on Brexit.
Â
2. Teamwork from this young person and their mum.
Â
1. And in top spot: who could forget this enormous banner that pretty much sums up politics in 2019.
Â
British sense of humour, don't ever change.
