Brexitos Nullis to Brexitos Brutalis: Evolution of Brexit in 5 Dog Latin names

By George ILIEV
Brexit Metaphor No 46

If Brexit were a dinosaur, it would have evolved (or rather mutated) into at least five species since 2016, all aptly named in binomial nomenclature in Dog Latin:

1. Brexitos Norvegiensis: Norway model (membership of the Single Market)
2. Brexitos Canadiensis: Canada model (free trade deal with the EU)
3. Brexitos Theresamaysis: Brexit based on the Withdrawal Agreement negotiated by Theresa May
4. Brexitos Nullis: Annulled/Cancelled Brexit (revoking of the triggering of Article 50)
5. Brexitos Brutalis: disorderly Hard Brexit

Now, which Brexit is your favourite dinosaur?

  1. I'll have a Brexitos Nullis, please. Thank you. Can't wait till they are all extinct and we're back in the 21st century, like the rest of the world.
