Brexit Metaphor No 141
Brexit is a haircut and Theresa May is the barber. She wants to give Britain a nice clean Brexit haircut but there is something in the way: a ear. Northern Ireland is the ear on the side of Britain's face that's making the Brexit haircut so difficult, if not impossible.
A barber wouldn't cut off their customer's ear just for the sake of a haircut. However, an inexperienced barber can easily let blood by incompetently making cuts on the ear while trying to shape the overall haircut. In the Northern Ireland context, would this make the barber Theresa May a barbarian?
