IT all started when Mark Francois, Tory MP for Rayleigh and Wickford, told the BBC that Britain would "explode" if the UK didn't fulfil Brexit by today.
The National can now report that it has indeed kicked off, with hashtags #BritainHasExploded and #brexitriots trending on Twitter, showing the widespread panic among citizens across the UK.
The widespread chaos signifies the fury of Leavers, who are well aware of the EU-free future that has been stolen from them for at least another couple of months.
Now that Boris Johnson has had to ask for a second Brexit deadline extension, the crippling weight of the EU's sovereignty has ground the UK to a halt and people have taken to the streets to riot.

As you can see Premier Johnson was indeed correct. Large plumes of smoke erupt from Glasgow as the city is ablaze with anger due to the fact we have not left the EU!
Even Queens Park is not safe! I saw a dog bark at it’s own owner!#dinnaefash #BrexitDay pic.twitter.com/SfPkYJUZFR

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
