Brexit Metaphor No 145
Brexit is a wart on the face of the British political landscape and the economy. The worse part is that British politicians are dealing with it in an utterly chaotic way: Parliament voted against the Withdrawal Agreement on March 12 and against a No-Deal Brexit on March 13. The only thing they haven't tried yet are folk remedies. Tom Sawyer recommends using "spunk water" (water collected in the hollow of a tree stump) for treating warts, while Huckleberry Finn prefers throwing a dead cat into a graveyard. Would you be surprised if you saw on March 14 a headline in The Sun:
"Tender for the procurement of 650 dead cats for Westminster."
