Brexit-U-Turn?- Guardian 19-09-2018

Over the past few months a discussion has been popping up quite regularly in Dutch newspapers over whether the Brexit may yet not materialize. And now we hear that the mayor of London has demanded for a new referendum.
In my opinion the European Commission may well have to opt for the immediate installing of a work-group which will prepare Europe for the situation in which the still ever perfidious Albion wishes to return to the fold of the EU.

This work-group will then have to formulate tough conditions for such a Brexit-U-Turn. Of course, one of these conditions surely would have to be the immediate introduction of the Euro in the UK. Other things that would have to be included are: driving on the right side of the road, stiff-upper-lip on a ration, the total banning of the stubborn use of imperial measures as from now, bowler hats only at carnival , and…………… John Cleese for Prime Minister!
