Brexit is unreal - like the floating mountains in Avatar

By George ILIEV
Brexit Metaphor No 153 

Brexit is as disconnected from reality as the floating mountains in the movie Avatar are disconnected from the ground. How they can defy the laws of physics (for Avatar) and the laws of economics and international relations (for Brexit) is another matter. Suffice to say that if you are an ideologically pure Brexiteer, you don't need to give too much thought to these things. Brexit means Brexit... as if pigs might fly.
