Leaving Britain

-

Although Kiwi cartoonist David Low died in 1963, Colonel Blimp is alive and guiding the Brexiters to cloud cuckoo land. Important organisati­ons have saved their sanity by fleeing: the European Medicines Agency and the European Banking Authority. The old Morris factory in Oxford, where BMW made the Mini, will close for a “month”. What about the grand “English” car factories? Well, the Indians own Jaguar, the Germans Rolls Royce and Bentley.

Herr Doktor Tom Enders, the CEO of Airbus, called Brexit “madness”, and stated the Airbus factory is not too big to move.

These warnings are treated as a joke by clowns like Boris de Pfeffel Johnson and labelled scaremonge­ring. But it is no laughing matter. Britain is kaput.
