Moment of Brexit tenderness as adorable British MPs think Article 50 extension is up to them

[Soph0571]

n an endearing scene that melted hearts all over Europe, amusingly bossy British politicians stomped their feet and insisted that they would tell the EU to give an extension to Article 50 despite having less say on the matter than a part-time assistant to a Flemish regional minister.

MP Mark Francois, 53 and ½, was one of many in Westminster who spoke out about the deal while wearing a lovely blazer that made him look like a future heart breaker as long as he stops scoffing chocolate.

Although he voted against it, Mark was adamant Brussels would do as it was told.

“I got my own army uniform and every time we play war I’m the one who’s the chief. I’ll tell those boys in Brocksalls that they better give an extension or else. And Jacob said I could do it because Jacob is my friend and he also said I can come to his house and ride one of his ponies if I want. Do you collect pogs? I’ve got hundreds!”

In one way I really want them to tell us to bugger off. I know it is foolhardy but all these buffoons need a bloody nose....

1. I sympathise

I'm nearly convinced that Brexit is simply going to have to happen as part of teaching too many Britons how good the EU has been for the UK. It's going to take a cathartic few years before those idiots learn--or more likely, die off--and the UK can re-join the EU on clearly inferior terms, so I am coming around to the view that the uglier Brexit is, the better.

Full disclosure, I'll still be an EU citizen after Brexit. I'm watching one of my countries immolate itself, but at least it doesn't actually impact my plans to live, work, and travel.
