For the entertainment of many, this video has been making the rounds recently:

For those who don’t follow British politics closely or know much about the history of the British Isles, a little background is in order.

The voice here comes from John Cleese in Monty Python’s Life of Brian where he plays a rebel leader conspiring against Roman rule in historic Palestine.

Since the Romans also ruled Britania (for about 400 years), the joker who crafted this video is likening this to the Brexiteers’ hostility towards the EU.

(The irony of the nativist narrative of self-determination when applied to Britain is that for the last 6,000 years, wave upon wave of migrants have settled this land, rendering the concept of native meaningless.)
