BLOG: No sense please, we’re British

I say chaps, those Brits have pulled a blinder, the cunning rascals. They’ve got those Europeans exactly were they want them. Confused.
Reading Time: 2 minutes

In fact, in a move far exceeding any of the clever tricks they came up with to misdirect the Germans in World War II, the British have managed to make sure the Continentals don’t know what the next British move will be.

They’ve done that by the clever manoeuvre of making sure they, themselves, don’t know what their next move will be. How crafty can you get, eh what?

It’s not something done easily. For a start they only just managed to start the process with a close vote in a referendum. It was so close many were convinced they would never go through with it once the people realised the promises made about them still being able to enjoy the benefits of being part of Europe without the inconvenience of having to help pay for those benefits and the nuisance of letting foreigners have free entry to their sceptred isle.

They have completely wasted the two years since giving notice of their desire to rid themselves of European ties stoically pontificating and telling everyone there’s plenty of time. They’re still doing that just days away from the opposite of D Day, when they pull back from the beaches.

And they’ve very slyly kept everyone, including themselves, in the dark by repeatedly holding votes on everything they don’t want so no one, including themselves, knows what it is they do want. They can’t have those inferior johnnies over the water being privy to their innermost desires.

Come March 29, of course, there will be even greater confusion with ships, already on the water and heading in the general direction of that part of the world, going round in circles in the North Sea wondering where they are supposed to land their cargoes.

It’s definitely a case of keeping up that bulldog spirit and making sure the stiff upper lip doesn’t let any useful information out and for goodness sake: Don’t tell them your name, Pike.
