Brexit: a bottomless Eton mess

By George ILIEV
Brexit Metaphor No 10

I was offered Bottomless Eton Mess at an Indian restaurant last night: as soon as you finish a bowl of Eton mess, they bring you another one, for no extra charge. It felt like the perfect Brexit metaphor:  Eton graduates David Cameron and Boris Johnson got us into the current mess and there seems to be no end in sight.

The other apt parallel between Eton mess and Brexit is that this otherwise delicious dessert looks like it has been regurgitated multiple times already.

Plus, it makes a great slogan for a political rally or a march for a 2nd referendum:
Bottomless!
Eton mess!
