Bloody Brexit

You can paint the Union Jack using just a single ink: Diamine Bloody Brexit.

I like the tongue-in-cheek name. Cleaning this high-sheening ink is certainly a messy affair — not unlike Brexit itself. I’d advise against filling your vintage celluloid Conway Stewart with it.

I inked my favourite Lamy Safari and gave it a try. Unlike the M20 motorway in Kent, the ink flows beautifully. The nib doesn’t dry up or clog. Diamine Bloody Brexit looks just as great on paper as redirecting EU membership fees to the NHS seemed. The problem is when the consequences materialise — your washbasin ends up every bit the shambles Boris Johnson’s Withdrawal Agreement was.
