Brrr… Exit
Once upon a time the Untied Queendom held a referendum.
The government called it knowing they could not lose.
They lost.
They lost because of one huge lie, told by one huge liar.
Five years later they haven’t resolved the major issue.
An issue which will inevitably cause civil unrest, perhaps violence and death.
Dire isn’t the word.
Ah, and the fact some of us could not tell which country you are referring to, says a lot about just how dire things are …. (an yet, there’s hopefully hope, soon, someplace …) 😉
Well written, friend!
I agree that things are pretty grim all over, including here in France, but I thought that ‘Brrr…Exit’ and ‘Queendom’ were pretty strong clues!
Glad you liked it despite the depressing subject matter, Na’ama.
Yes … I hear you. …
Almost there. I wonder which way you voted!!! Great picture by the way.
Almost where, Keith?
Trying to decide where to stick a border somewhere near Ireland?
Thanks, I’ll tell Phil. The image dates back to when Bozo was inflicting his unique brand of stupidity on Dick Whittington’s wee toon.
Stand by for the extension of trade deal talks as we roll into 2021. The pandemic has been a handy way to distract the public from this upcoming disaster.
And the Irish question, Iain?
Also several million of us who live abroad are still waiting for information…
You couldn’t make it up.
Yikes. It is dire.
If this scenario had been written as fiction 5 years ago, no one would have believed it. Boris has, quite astonishingly, proven to be as incompetent as he is unreliable and untruthful.
Hmm… not just a local problem, I’m afraid.
Yes, I am aware that you have your own buffoon over there.
I wrote a couple of pieces about him 2 or 3 weeks ago.
Dear CE,
Jovial? Your country or mine? 😉 Well done in any event.
Shalom,

Brrr..Exit and Untied (sic) Queendom kinda hint at the Westminster morons, m’lady.
Actually I did get that. But this is the Untied States of America and we have our own share of morons. 😉
An easy mistake to make, m’lady, as much of the ‘democratic’ world edges ever closer to fascism.
