Some light relief, not hugely funny, but some good moments:

“Then I would telephone President Macron and ask him to make a speech saying that De Gaulle had been right all along: the British are not to be trusted and should not have been admitted to Europe; that the French have been planning for years for us to depart and are delighted that they and the Germans will now be free to run things the way they want.

“With luck, this would so provoke the people that they would rise en masse and demand another referendum to stop the French from once more getting the better of us.”

Comments are good too

Well Prime Minister, let me put it this way; It's as if the electorate where children asked to choose between Daddy and Chips. Being children and consequently short term thinkers they inevitably chose Chips. Now, ignoring the fact that without Daddy's income coming into the family home they face an impoverished future, it also transpires that when they chose Chips, they all had a different idea of how the Chips would be served. Some want ketchup, some salt and vinegar, some curry suace and some, I beleive, actually want gravy. There are still a few who want the Chips 'au natural' and are so determined that they would have them cold rather than have any condiment. A veritable impasse, which is where we are with Brexit...
