Cameron’s going – hoooray!! Boris is coming – holy shit!!!! What now? The Trump and Boris show is on its way. What will Trump bring? Well you know what?
THE WALL!
‘Brexiters’ in the north as far away from mainland Europe as they can get without jumping in to the North Sea and the ‘Remainers’ in the south so that they can use the ports to visit, interact and appreciate the rest of the continent as and when.
Seems fair doesn’t it. ‘Idiots’ in the South and ‘racists’ in the north. It would ease the pain for those who are repelled by the ‘little Englanders’ and they in turm could avoid having to share their space with those who don’t have an aversion to people.
The southerners could work on changing the EU from within and the northerners could shout obscenities from the top of Scaffell Pike whenever the mood took. We could ask Donald Trump to design a nice wall. There would be some argument about where but east to west (or vice versa) through Meriden in Coventry or Morton in Derbyshire would have a good case. We could even make up names for each other. The ‘Donttouchmeyoufilthyf******s’ of the North and ‘Comehereyouravishingplutocrats’ of the south.
Before you start shouting how simplistic this is I know but I am just playing the game. ‘Never let the facts get in the way of anything’ is an old game that never has to be packed away under the stairs. It is also known by many as ‘waking up’. Therefore a concession. If you are not a ‘little Englander’ and intellectually you have principled reasons to leave then you can choose which side of the wall you would like to live. Also if you are a ‘little Englander’ but wouldn’t trust Nigel, Boris, Michael etc… to blow their noses with asbestos you too can choose (although it would be best to go North first and see how you get on).
Personally the idea of a Brexit has become more attractive if this is part of the package. Mind you I wouldn’t want to live too close to the wall unless it was high enough. Dog shit through my letter box is one thing but having it rain down on my head all day long would be too much to bear.
