The UK’s roads experts issued the warning earlier this week. The government, whose track record on experts is well known, is set to dismiss the advice because they don’t like it.
The road to Brexit has not been easy. Somehow, despite diversions, u-turns and nasty EU police, the journey continues.
At the wheel of the big red bus, Theresa May. With her feet decisively pressed on all the pedals at once. Next to her, guiding her progress, is Boris Johnson with a road map dating from the 1930s. The road to Brexit isn’t marked but he urges May on regardless.
The remaining seats are filled with leavers pulling levers. May may be at the controls for now but the back-seat drivers are driving us backwards.
Bad intentions are littered liberally across the path. Hazards like Tax The Poor, Privatise The NHS and The Irish Border obstruct progress along the road to Brexit. May asks David Davis how to avoid them, but he is asleep in a teapot in Wonderland.
The AA advises all who journey in this treacherous landscape to find an alternative route. “These blockages will not sort themselves out,” says mouthpiece Robyn Reliant.”Skilled craftsmen have been working on then for a long time now. Unfortunately they have been replaced by numpties who want to bash a square peg into a round hole and fill the gaps with fudge. Even in the short term they are making the problems worse.”
One or two passengers have dared to suggest that the PM doesn’t know where she is going. They speculate that the big red Brexit bus is heading over the edge of a cliff. These traitors have been chucked off the bus and their tickets for the gravy train confiscated.
Long delays are forecast for the foreseeable future. Meanwhile Boris has found another map, on which Brexit is located next to Narnia.
