Original artwork description:

A symbolic image of a British bulldog and the Union Jack which brought about the nationalist feelings that made Brexit happen. The image has 26 stars that represent the countries in the EU. The star that was the UK has dropped out. It now seems that Brexit is an unmitigated disaster, even Nigel Farage saying it hasn't worked.

Brexit, a dream once held so dear,
A promise of freedom, a future clear.
But as the years passed and the votes were cast,
It became clear that this dream would not last.
The nation divided, the people torn,
Leaving the EU, a path forlorn.
Businesses suffered, trade came to a halt,
The pound dropped, the economy vaulted.
The people's will, it seemed, was not done,
As the government struggled, the people undone.
A deal proposed, but rejected with disdain,
Brexit's failure, a nation's pain.
But though the road ahead may be steep,
We must not give up, nor fall asleep.
For a brighter future, a better way,
We'll find a solution, come what may.
