Will Brexit Santa bring Brexit to naughty politicians?

By George ILIEV
Brexit Metaphor No 67

Santa Claus supposedly does not bring gifts to naughty children. The biggest gift for Brexiteers is Brexit, so they are eagerly awaiting. But will the Brexit Santa deliver on March 29, 2019? Or will the naughty Brexiteer politicians be exposed for their over-promising and truth-stretching?

Saint Nicholas was the 4th century Christian bishop from whom the Santa Claus tradition originates. Saint Nicholas lived in Anatolia. Would the Brexit politicians be happy with a gift from Anatolia instead, e.g. Syrian refugees sent for resettlement?
