    And the final line of GWTW: Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn. Perfect expression of his attitude since Brexit (and perhaps before).

      That’s Rhett Butler (Clark Gable)’s final line. The final line of the movie is “Tomorrow is another day.”

      Also appropriate.

    I think Adele’s ‘Someone like EU’ is appropriate too.

    Another theory calls it the “evil tory theme”
