Brexit Metaphor No 66
Three wise men brought gifts for Brexit.
1. Nigel Farage brought democracy, for he learned democracy at the European Parliament which gave him a platform in 1999. He has been serving democracy as an MEP in the European Parliament ever since.
2. Boris Johnson brought the prospect of free trade deals, the promise of 350 million pounds a week, and some cake. He thought he could do with cake what Jesus did with the five loaves of bread and the two fish. Sadly, the cake only lasted as long as no one had eaten it. Boris was tired and hungry on the way, so he ate the cake.
3. Jacob Rees-Mogg brought the 18th century, for he was "the honourable member for the 18th century."
The British people were all delighted.

Boris ate the cake on the way but democracy and the 18th century were duly delivered.
