Best memes after Northern Lights brighten up UK skies once again

Everything is politics

You’d be forgiven for turning to the one person with their finger on the nation’s pulse – Brenda from Bristol – to lament, ‘not another one’, if you’ve missed the Northern Lights yet again.

Others have another angle on the politics vibe, mocking the way everything seems to be about politics, from hurricanes to beer brands.

Can’t join them? Draw them.

The quality varies, but as ever, the memers are letting loose their creative sides.

Whether it’s a scribble on a screen, a more delicate dash of colours, or a quick dose of photoshop, people have their own unique take.

In at least one case, however, it proved so convincing the artist had to say: ‘Cannot believe I have to clarify that this is an edit. Y’all stay safe out there.’

They aren’t the only lights, you know

Not everyone was blessed enough to live where they could see the Northern Lights.

Some live too far south, some had their view obstructed by clouds, while others’ skies are too polluted by light to see them even on clear nights.

Fear not, however, as they’re not the only light shows in town.

Perhaps they pale in comparison, even if they are sometimes far too bright, but the fluorescent lights of chain restaurants have proved a suitable alternative.

Whether it’s the purple of Taco Bell, the red sign of Wawa, or the giant Big Mac projected on The Sphere in Las Vegas, there’s no shortage of displays to watch.
