Agree with your second comment, maybe it's the choice of paper for gammons“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Rearranging the Deck Chairs on RMS Brextanic
Everyone is blaming the Government for not coming up with a Brexit strategy. They've made no progress in two years so how useless must they be.
However, when will it dawn on everyone that there simply isn't a Brexit strategy? I guess Theresa already can see that. She's ostensibly nurturing a stay-in-only-worse-off approach but she'll never get away with that. The hard exit (which is what people voted for) is too expensive and disruptive. So all she can do is the classic deathmarch manoeuvre that so many of us project people have seen played out so many times - just keep plodding along and shoving in the invoices until the merde finally hits the fan.

But you’re right about there not being a plan.
