Brexit Metaphor No 31
"Communism is the longest path from capitalism to capitalism," jokes a marketing professor I know. The failed communism experiment took quite a few countries a few decades to realise that it didn't quite work as theory predicted.
In theory there is no difference between theory and practice; but in practice there is. The hard Brexiteers are turning out to be pretty hard-core theoreticians: some are delusional, some are demagogues, and some are both. So let's hope that the failed Brexit experiment will end after only 2.5 years, making it just a short path from EU membership to EU membership.
