Dutch government creates big blue Brexit monster

The Dutch government has created a big blue monster mascot to help people prepare for the UK leaving the European Union.

The Dutch government has enlisted a new ally in its campaign to prepare businesses for Britain's departure from the European Union - a hairy, blue Brexit monster.

A tweet posted on Foreign Minister Stef Blok's Twitter feed showed the monster, wearing a white T-shirt emblazoned with the word Brexit in red capital letters, lying across a desk.
