Brexit Metaphor No 125.
Female drivers of giant mining haul trucks are gentler in using the gears of the machines compared with male drivers, which reduces maintenance costs. Female operators are also more likely to respond to alarm lights, resulting in 50% fewer work injuries compared with male drivers.
In the Brexit context, only 21-22% of women in Britain support a No Deal Brexit, while the number goes up to 33-34% among men, the latest research by The Economist and YouGov shows.
It does sound like women are more responsible in both the mining industry and in managing Brexit...except for a certain female Prime Minister who shall remain anonymous.
