Brexit Metaphor No 131
Brexit is a sauna that may turn out to be an oven. It is vaunted by Brexiteers as bringing health benefits, i.e. it is expected to energise the British economy, just like a sauna is supposed to strengthen the health of the sauna-goer. However, with Brexit, Britain will relinquish control over the Number 1 economic relationship it has: with the EU. Ironically, "taking back control" means giving up control. Thus, handing over the thermostat of the sauna to the EU may turn the sauna into an oven. And we all know what goes into the oven: your dinner.
If you are not at the table, you are on the menu!
