This week: trigger warning! Britain is set
to trigger the dreaded Article 50.
"Brexit is coming!"
Yes, it's the latest
installment in the ongoing saga that we call:
"Brexit Game of Thrones."
Britain is like
The Kingdom of the North in "Game of Thrones."
The guy that used to run the place,
he was all about "winter is coming..."
"we are better off if we remain in
"The Seven Kingdoms."
He got pretty close with
the Seven Kingdoms. And he ended up with
his head chopped off.
Next came the guy
who said "We should leave the Seven Kingdoms!"
And the people voted to leave
Maybe he would end up being the new leader?
No, Nigel ended up with his head
chopped off.
But THIS guy... it turns out he's
been plotting to be the leader the whole time!
Boris Johnson: primed to be the new
leader... No also killed off.
But then not killed off!
He ended up coming back. Jon Snow?
"John-Son" -?
And we are left with
Theresa May. Now, Theresa likes to think
that she's the Mother of Dragons, but
she's clearly more like Lady Stark.
You know it's not going to end well.
She keeps uninviting herself to every summit,
every conference... it's like she's waiting
for an invitation to a wedding!
(...Don't go)
But for right now, Theresa May sounds more like
Lady Melisandre.
The currency keeps falling,
the Westeros bank is losing faith.
Many of the banks are already leaving...
But she's like "I know! We should
kill everyone's first born child!"
That's what's coming next, Britain.
Meanwhile, the
Wildlings want their freedom!
But no! Lady Stark tells them "you're just being
political and troublemaking!"
Oh well,
nothing bad ever happened
by denying them their freedom!
She sends her foreign minister
to convince them to wait on
their own referendum. They tell him:
"You know nothing, John-Son."
And this whole time
you've got the White Walkers, saying
"We cannot be killed, you will all be cold
like us." But Lady Stark insists the
Kingdom of the North is better off
outside the Seven Kingdoms:
"We're not an isolated kingdom; we're a Global Kingdom!"
And she's going to start off by making
great alliances, starting with the Boltons.
Great people, the Boltons. Very
trustworthy. Very classy people, so fantastic.
And so, as Article 50 is
triggered this week, we don't know how
this whole saga will end. But one thing
is for sure - if you're a main character
in the Brexit drama, you're probably not
going to be alive to see the end of it.
