Brexit Metaphor No 12

Brexit feels like mistakenly getting off the motorway at a spaghetti junction and then not being able to get back on the motorway until you have driven through every single ribbon of the spaghetti. Brexit got Britain off the motorway of focused economic and social policies with the 2016 referendum. The British Government has been traipsing every single ribbon of this spaghetti junction ever since.
