The B word

The success of post-Brexit Britain is plain for all to see. I’ve never seen so many street celebrations as citizens up and down the country embrace their new freedoms, and even their blue passports which provide them with a warm glow of satisfaction as they wait for hours at our borders. Two reports today illustrate the good news. The IMF say UK economic growth in the coming year will be the worst of any developed country, including Russia. This is a great achievement! And Bloomberg says that Brexit is costing the economy £100 billion a year. Well, talk about money well spent! Heartily slapping themselves on the back, government ministers from Rishi Sunak down can’t believe their good fortune as they slide further down the polls. Trade deals everywhere, Freeports in every village and a bonfire of EU regulations have all, or will all we’re promised transform our lives into poorly paid wage slaves. New laws banning protest and strikes will make us free. And we’ve managed all of this without Putin invading us! It’s the bulldog spirit!
