It’s a sign that all is not quiet on the seats of Westminster – the army is getting ready for a no-deal Brexit. Even Donald Trump is recalling his boys out of Syria, to get ready for the big day in March. Brexit is so much more important than Syria. But, wait a minute! Brexit […]

You Get What You Pray For – Let’s Pray For A Good Brexit
Late last night, I had the impression that things were getting back to normal. It started to snow and as the clock struck one, the ground was covered by a white coat of untouched snow. Having read about the importance of snow in a recent issue of Nature Climate Change, I was glad that maybe […]
Brexit Means Brexit, And Water’s Water – Now Tell Me What You Know
If the highlight of Theresa May’s latest encounter with the EU is us trying to lip-read what Jean-Claude Juncker said to her, Brexit really is just as boring as we thought it was. The way JC had his arm around her as she was trying to vent her disapproval, emphasizes that misogyny is not out […]
David Davis May Not Care About A No-Deal Brexit, But I Do!
I actually thought that I had forgotten about Brexit Secretary 1.0, David Davis, until I had the unfortunate pleasure of listening once again to his void and sarcastic comments on this week’s Question Time. How such a man who is so obviously ignorant of what is actually happening to the UK, got the Brexit job […]
Brexit Musings (33) – “2018: A Brexit Fallacy”
Can someone tell me what the hell Mrs May is up to? Whilst postponing a doomed Brexit vote is understandable, rescheduling the date of her political execution isn’t. What on earth is she trying to gain? Does she really think that having the vote in the middle of January is going to change anything? It […]
Bexit Musings (33) – The Brussels Eurostar Arriving On Platforms 5, 6 And 7, Is Coming In Sideways
The EU will just have to sit and wait for the Eurostar from Brussels to derail completely. Have you ever had that feeling of despair? Stuck in traffic on the motorway, only 2 miles from the airport, with time running out and the departure time of your holiday charter airline to […]
Brexit Musings (32) – 48 Hours
A quick post because due to the title, time is of the essence. It was Plato who said that, “time is a moving image of eternity,” and it just proves that poor old Theresa May is far from being eternal because she and her Brexit are running out of time. It rather reminds me of […]
Brexit Musings (31) – The Withdrawal Deal: Divorce Or Funeral?
In a divorce, there are always children who suffer. At a funeral, there are always those who are left alone. It’s quite ironic that for over 40 years, the EU and UK have been constantly bickering, with the UK acting like a spoiled cat who doesn’t know whether to go outside or stay indoors. […]
Brexit Musings (29) – Is Christmas Only Five Brexit Secretaries Away?
They come and they go, brought in by the wind of change, swept away by a river of delusions. The ireality of what they promise is only matched by the conspicuousness of their incompetence. Will the Brexit secretary 3.0 be any better than his predecessors? The big question is, though, whether he will make it through […]
The Withdrawal Agreement – The UK’s Prelude To A “Canada Dry” Brexit?
Maybe you were like me, when you were little – on Christmas Eve you just couldn’t sleep, eager to find out what Father Christmas had brought you. You knew what you were getting though, because it was preordained thanks to that 50-page Christmas list you wrote back in August. The much awaited for withdrawal […]
