Brexit Metaphor No 121.
A waiter once told me that empty champagne glasses are the hardest thing to carry on a tray: they are top-heavy and can easily topple over and crash on the floor.
British politics under Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn has been a tray of empty champagne glasses for a third year running: there are hardly any meaningful policies in the heads of the political elite of the UK at present. Brexit seems to have drained all the blood from the body of the British political system, to the degree that the resulting anemia makes almost every MP slow-moving and dizzy.
Could the onset of Brexit on March 29, 2019 actually pour back champagne into the glasses and "bring back movement forward", if you'll pardon the oxymoron?
