The Brexit Struggle Made Clear

Rob Slane, over at the Blogmire, clears up any question you may have had about the state of play in the Brexit struggle, deploying a didactic method reminiscent of the way an Englishman might explain cricket to a foreigner.

There are a number of parties. One of them wants to take us out, but there are some within that party that didn’t want to take us out, so they were kicked out by the man who just came in. In order to get us out, the man who just came in tried to get himself out, so that he could then get back in, in order to take us out. But he was thwarted by the other parties, who despite wanting him out, kept him in because they fear that if he gets out, he will then get back in and will then take us out. But if they can keep him in long enough, and prevent him from taking us out, they figure that soon after he has failed to take us out, they will be able to get him out and get themselves in. And then after he gets out and they get in, they may try to take us out or they may try to keep us in. It’s anyone’s guess. Then again, it’s entirely possible that if they do get in, they might try to get us out, then campaign against their deal for taking us out to try and keep us in. It really is that simple...
And if you find that cryptic, you can read the full source article which makes all crystal clear.

And for those in need of further clarification, France's Foreign Minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, has just stated that delay to Brexit "isn't possible" under current conditions, a view agreed by EU Chief, Guy Verhofstadt, who said delay was "unacceptable"  unless the deadlock in the UK Parliament is resolved.
