Brexit Metaphor No 22
There are two views of Brexit. One is Brexit is like sandpaper: the more it scratches and chafes Britain, the more rounded the country will eventually become, while the sandpaper will slowly be worn out and thrown away.
The other view is Brexit is like toilet paper, used by self-serving politicians to wipe themselves clean of political responsibility.
Isn't it possible that Brexit is both: sandpaper and toilet paper. Both will be discareded in the end but at least the sandpaper can bring about positive changes in the political process and a realisation of the importance of Britain's relationship with Europe.
