The Liberal Democrats (Britain’s centrist, pro-European party) have a nice line in 404s: https://www.libdems.org.uk/aaaa https://www.libdems.org.uk/aaaa I recycled an ancient found image for my own site (OpenStreetMap-powered bike directions on quiet roads/trails): https://cycle.travel/aaaa https://cycle.travel/aaaa

For those not in the UK, the older man on the LibDem site is Jeremy Corbyn, leader of Labour, the official opposition party. The breast slapping was an awkward missed high five during the last general election where Labour unexpectedly won far more seats than predicted. He is not seen as a "handsy" politician - this incident is far more "awks" than "yuks" The 404 joke is that Labour has for several years being trying to avoid having a clear official policy opposing or supporting Brexit

  The even bigger joke is that when asked, Labour always say "look, we've been very clear on Brexit"

    What are you talking about? All the parties have been crystal clear on Brexit. "Brexit means Brexit", what's unclear about that?

      We've been clear as clarity itself, that Brexit means Brexit, and that's okay because it is acceptable. Understand? Good.

        If it's so crystal clear to everyone, why hasn't it happened yet?

    It sounds like Jon Snow needs to take them to task à la Tony Blair.

That's a good line, but I think Labour did it first and the Lib Dems are parodying the high-five https://labour.org.uk/aaaa https://labour.org.uk/aaaa

  I'm fairly sure the Lib Dems were doing the 'funny' 404s first. I'm not sure if archive.org keeps 404 pages though.

I really like your missing cycle poster. Too relatable (lost 2 bikes in Amsterdam).
