LONDON -- Cassetteboy, the viral king of UK political remixes, has done it again.

His latest video -- published this morning on the Guardian -- takes aim at former Prime Minister David Cameron, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, and current Prime Minister Theresa May -- all to the gloriously familiar beat of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air's opening theme.

It's weirdly catchy, isn't it?

"Cassetteboy vs Brexit" was shared this morning on Twitter. At the time of writing it's had over 800 RTs, and plenty of positive feedback.

David Cameron must be glad to that this will (likely) be his final Cassetteboy cameo...
