IF you have a tenuous grasp of facts and reality then Brexit is going great guns. Here are six deluded reasons why we’re totally smashing the process of leaving the EU.
We’re heading for a fantastic no-deal
This was always the plan from the start, remember? No-deal is the best of the Brexit options because we can trade with whoever we like. We’re already making slow progress with Japan, now we just need to sort all the other countries by January. Easy-peasy.
We’ll get back our British spirit
NHS staff shortages? All those people clapping every Thursday will be rushing to become nurses. If there are food shortages we’ll just grow our own fruit and veg, even if it’s January. It’s just a matter of scattering a few seeds and there’ll be a bountiful harvest in February.
Europe hates us
Making people hate you is a classic negotiating strategy – it’s very clever reverse psychology. By being really demanding and unreasonable, Europe will do anything to make it end. Why do you think we repeatedly elected an idiot like Nigel Farage into the European Parliament?
We’re breaking international law
This shows everyone that Britain is a rebel without a cause, like James Dean. And who wouldn’t want to be friends with a cool country like that? Let’s live fast and die young – except British exceptionalism means we can choose to live fast and never die at all.
Kent has a border now
Nothing says ‘take back control’ quite like creating an unnecessary border in your own country. To the outside world this might look like poor planning, but slowing down the delivery of food is part of Boris’ plan to make us lose weight. The man’s a genius.
We haven’t solved the backstop yet
Good. This is our ultimate bargaining chip. We can use it to threaten tiny countries like America into doing exactly what we want. And nobody wants to be responsible for breaking up the union. Finding a solution to this problem would be a disaster for Britain.
