In a shocking turn of events, astronomers have announced that a comet is on a collision course with Earth, and the cause of this impending disaster is none other than Brexit.
According to sources close to the situation, the comet was originally headed in a different direction, but as soon as the UK voted to leave the European Union, the gravitational pull of the planet shifted, altering the comet’s trajectory and sending it hurtling towards us.
“The Brexit vote has caused all kinds of chaos and disruption, and this is just one more example,” said one expert. “We never imagined that it would have such a profound impact on the laws of physics, but here we are.”
Despite the dire situation, some politicians are still trying to spin the news in their favor. “This is just a ploy by the EU to scare us into rejoining,” said one Brexit supporter. “They’ll stop at nothing to undermine our sovereignty.”
Meanwhile, others are urging calm and caution. “We need to focus on finding a way to deflect this comet, regardless of how it got here,” said another expert. “The fate of the planet is at stake, and we can’t afford to let politics get in the way of our survival.”
As the world watches and waits to see what will happen next, one thing is clear: Brexit has once again plunged us into uncertainty and turmoil, with potentially catastrophic consequences.
