If Brexit is delayed, it will start resembling a sausage

By George ILIEV
Brexit Metaphor No 139 

"Everything has an end. Only the sausage has two ends."

This German saying is about to become a Brexit joke as well if Brexit is delayed by the March 12-14 Parliament votes. If the original March 29 Brexit date is pushed back by two months to around the time of the European Parliament elections in May 2019, Brexit will start resembling a two-month-long sausage from one end to the other (never mind the beginning).

And if Brexit is delayed again beyond that (provided a constitutional solution can be found how Britain can send unelected delegates to the European Parliament in the interim), it may acquire a third end and start resembling a samosa.

Sausage or samosa, we won't be starving - especially those of us who have already made three weekend trips to the supermarket to stockpile food.

And if the sausage is rolled up one end into the other like the one on the photo, Brexit might be avoided altogether. No voodoo or shamanism necessary: just roll up any sausages you can get hold of and pray for the best. It might have a more predictable effect than what chaotic British politics can currently deliver.
