Here follows a Brexit thread.
Sorry.
The thing is, the best way to understand Theresa May’s predicament is to imagine that 52 percent of Britain had voted that the government should build a submarine out of cheese.
Now, Theresa May was initially against building a submarine out of cheese, obviously. Because it’s a completely insane thing to do.
However, in order to become PM, she had to pretend that she thought building a submarine out of cheese was fine and could totally work.
"Cheese means cheese," she told us all, madly.
Then she actually built one.
It’s shit. Of course it is. For God’s sake, are you stupid? It’s a submarine built out of cheese.
So now, having built a shit cheese submarine, she has to put up with both Labour and Tory Brexiters insisting that a less shit cheese submarine could have been built.
They’re all lying, and they know it. So does everybody else. We've covered this already, I know, but it’s cheese and it’s a submarine. How good could it possibly be?
Only she can’t call them out on this. Because she has spent the past two years also lying, by pretending she really could build a decent submarine out of cheese.
So that’s where we are.
On balance, I this analogy works fine, perhaps except for the submarine and cheese parts, which need a little work.
Thread ends.
