Manchester United legend Eric Cantona opens 'Brexit bunker' and mocks Theresa May

Guests at bunker can take a break from 'constant bombardment of Brexit chatter', former footballer says

Actor and former Manchester United footballer Eric Cantona mocks Theresa May and invites British people to stay at his "Brexit bunker" in a new advert for bookmaker Paddy Power.

Located "somewhere between the UK and France", the bunker featured in the advert comes stocked with rations including Marmite and tinned sardines.

While taking a tour of the bunker, Cantona recreates May’s dance moves, mocks Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg, and references David Cameron’s love of pigs.

“Brexit is like Boris Johnson’s hair, he’s the only one who doesn’t think it’s a complete disaster," he said.

“I have created the Brexit Bunker: A British Noah’s Ark!

"Here, one specially selected Brit can take shelter from the constant bombardment of Brexit chatter, thanks to Cantona and Paddy Power.”

Paddy Power is inviting one contestant and a guest to spend two nights at the bunker, where they will be "wined, dined and Article 50-nined without a single mention of the dreaded B-word".

A spokesperson for Paddy Power said: “Who better to help solve Brexit than Europe’s finest export, Eric Cantona?

“The Frenchman has opened our Brexit Bunker, where he practised his prime ministerial duties – dancing, that is – and now wants to offer a lucky Brit the chance to escape the ensuing political noise.

“And where else to do that than a fortified structure in the middle of the sea, with no access to news or social media?”
