For some, Brexit has been a seemingly unending, humourless, nightmare with little respite.

It has proven to be harder than even Boris Johnson envisioned to push through, and seems to be the battleground on which the general election is being fought.

But this woman in Derbyshire managed to make light of a situation when she took her opportunity in front of the Sky News cameras in Derbyshire during a visit to the Bingo.

Keeping a completely straight face, the unnamed woman innocently asked if the unassuming reporter wanted to hear a joke about Brexit.

"Did you know that Oxo have brought a new cube out for Brexit?," she said.

"Do you know what it is called?"

And with the perfect comic timing, she delivered her zinger of a punch line.

"Laughing stock".

Extra points for the way she delivered it with a completely deadpan face, before breaking out into a smile.

Brexit has so far been the battleground on which the general election is currently being fought on, with the Conservatives promising to "Get Brexit Done" and Labour offering to send the decision back to the public in a second referendum.

The Liberal Democrats on the other hand are pledging to "Stop Brexit" altogether and rescind Article 50.
