Brexit Metaphor No 39
"Love them but don't marry them" has been Norway's approach to the EU for more than 40 years. Norway is a member of the EU Single Market and the Schengen zone, but not of the EU itself and of the EU Customs Union. This arrangement seems to be working for Norway just fine.
On the other hand, Brexit Britain is trying to learn to live by the mantra: "Divorce them but still love them."
Can you spot a logical fallacy here or shall we continue to eat cake and have cake... at Mr Bean's wedding?
