Europe’s problem child

ThE uK position in the Brexit non-negotiations is analogous to that of the child in a class whose conduct is the cause of constant complaint by the other 27 pupils.

upon the intervention of concerned senior teachers trying to get to an amicable solution, the parents of the misfit get mouthy as well and storm off to find a different school.

When arriving with a host of pre-announced undesirable baggage, that child immediately becomes the target for every bully to encircle and intimidate.

how I wish we had not been conned by the spivs parading beside the £350 million-a-week Bus of Lies. We are heading towards a scenario of ‘Brexit means a begging bowl’.
