Germany’s biggest news magazine Der Spiegel threw its hat into the Brexit ring with a special edition, thicker and cheaper than usual, adorned with an image of the Union Jack and the German plea "Bitte geht nicht!" or "Please don’t go!"

The issue that hit newsstands on Saturday costs 2 pounds, rather than the usual 5.20, in Britain and features 23 extra pages to accommodate English translations of all articles pertaining to Brexit. In no uncertain terms, it tells British readers "it’s smarter to stay."
