LONDON – BBD Perfect Storm has launched a Christmas song in support of People’s Vote on the Brexit deal. The song will run across social media channels and via BBD Perfect Storm’s annual Christmas card.
The song’s lyrics celebrate everything about Britain’s last 45 years within the EU and goes on to lament what could be our last Christmas as part of the European Union. ‘Our last Christmas with the EU’, goes the refrain, ‘The only Brussels will be our sprouts’.
Viewers are invited to visit the People’s Vote website – peoples-vote.uk – where people can petition the government to hold a referendum on the Brexit deal and find other information, including how to lobby their MP.
The song is accompanied by a video which can be viewed on Facebook. At the same time, it is being pushed through social media posts. The same message features on BBD Perfect Storm’s Christmas card, which goes out to its clients and journalists.
Jason Foo, CEO at BBD Perfect Storm, said: “Being part of the EU is critical to the health and growth of the UK’s creative industries. What better time, than at Christmas, for us all to come together and maybe, just maybe, if we all believe, we might get one final magical wish – the chance to have a #PeoplesVote.”
‘We’re delighted that BBD Perfect Storm have chosen to support People’s Vote for their Christmas campaign with a very strong and timely message. Their song reinforces how this Brexit deal satisfies no-one and solves nothing. Only the people of the United Kingdom can sort this out now with a People’s Vote, and help make sure that we’ll have many more Merry Christmases to come.’ Says Sarah Baumann, Director of Marketing at People’s Vote Campaign.

Lyrics:
Our last Christmas with EU
Well the stars are shining, though one less brightly
As we prepare to leave, and what it means to Blighty
Whether Chequers, Soft, Hard or a Backstop plan
We’ll miss your bratwurst, gateaux and du pain
Our last Christmas with EU
The only Brussels will be our sprouts
And the only wish we want this year
A chance to stop us going out
Let’s celebrate together, for one last time
Here’s to Europe, raise a glass, raise a stein
But our hearts feel empty, it’s our last year
Salut, Sante, Salud, Proost, Prost and cheers
Our last Christmas with EU
The only Brussels will be our sprouts
And the only wish we want this year
A chance to stop us going out
Now we’re the turkeys, that voted for Christmas
As we queue for medicine, to cure our sickness
We’ll lose human rights, free trade and free movement
And bleached chicken, is not an im-prove-ment
Our last Christmas with EU
The only Brussels will be our sprouts
And the only wish we want this year
A chance to stop us going out
The only wish we want this year
A chance to stop us going out
A chance to stop us going out
