Brexit Metaphor No 164
Brexiteers argue that Asia is where the bulk of future growth will come from, eclipsing Europe in importance for Britain's trade and investment flows. So if Britain is a swimmer, Asia will be the stronger right arm while Europe will be the weaker left arm. (The Americas and Africa can be the legs.)
These trends are real, but which swimmer in their right mind would amputate their left arm just because their left arm is weaker than their right one?
