When you’re bored with New York, you’re bored with life. Can’t remember who said that but I’ll bet he was a New Yorker. Now the new one is: when you’re bored with Brexit, you’re bored with Brexit. So good they said it twice. Or so bad, as is the case. But its understandable. You would normally have 2 sides in any serious negotiation. In Brexit I’ve counted 34 sides. All with different agendas, all with different views of the withdrawal and all a bunch of tossers. Ok, 27 of those are the ‘member states’, so we’ll ignore them. Most of the disagreement is here, in the UK. We can’t agree on what we want so Theresa May has come up with the ‘Chequers plan’ which everyone else hates. And has basically said; take it or leave it. To Europe, to her cabinet, to Boris, to everyone.

Yet the lib-dems, and many others, want another referendum on ‘the terms of leaving’, for us, the common or garden voters, to agree upon. Because we did such a good job last time? Because we can trust our politicians to be frank, open and ‘transparent’ with the details and predictions??We need another referendum like the Pope needs Gary Glitter taking holy orders. The last one showed clearly that we’re not worthy to make such decisions and that our government aren’t fit to present one to us. Nor are the opposition.

But one little glimmer of ‘interesting’ appeared in my paper this morning. Michel Barnier, the Leading Foreign Bastard, has stated that any ‘deals’ and agreements made with Theresa May must be binding for the future leaders of our fine nation too, and mustn’t be ‘unpicked’ in the future. Oh, so its like a ‘deal forever’. And how brutally undemocratic is that? Or ‘how typically EU’, you could phrase it.

The whole essence of ‘dealing’ and governments is that everything remains dynamic. New deals improve things for the people, reduce costs, increase availability, new products arrive, businesses relocate, the entire political and business systems of the whole world depend on flexibility and changes for the good of all. And yet here’s Barnier saying that what’s done is done! Fini! Game over. What if Britain suddenly had a product that was unique and everyone in Europe wanted it, something totally British, like… like depression. Would HE not then want some kind of deal from US? Would we then have to say; ‘ah, but Michel, under the terms of departure in 2019, you prevented us from re-working any future deals’. I’d like that. You could actually reduce it to ‘FUCK YOU!!!’

And that’s it. I’m over Brexit. Even though Brexit itself is far from over. The only thing European I’m concerned with is the Champions League. Tonight. Inter Milan. Not in a happy place.

Good Tuesday
