Not Playing the Game

Despite their long and hilarious history of losing wars with the mainland, it seems the beastly Euro-wogs still have not learned to show dignity in defeat. Departing MEPs will receive neither a medallion nor a redundancy payment, thanks to the Brusso-Strasbourgian Nazi-Soviet Politbunker's continuing refusal to recognise Britain's hard-earned immunity from EU law and practice. Former independence fighters had been agitating for a flag-lowering ceremony to echo what one victorious Résistant called "that India moment, or Hong Kong." Presumably he was referring to the British Empire flouncing off in a huff and letting the lesser breeds sort themselves out, rather than to the Government simply running out of money (India) or, worse yet, standing by a treaty (Hong Kong). However, the beastly Euro-wogs have issued a diktat that the Brexiteers must keep their nasty little rah-rah to indulge after their auto-deportation at the end of the month, and have even threatened to put the Union Jack in a museum, as if the country of Winston Churchill, Elizabeth Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and Jacob Rees-Mogg were somehow out of date. Fortunately, since the trade negotiations have been cunningly set to a hopelessly unrealistic timetable, due punishment for such unconstructive attitudes is undoubtedly soon to follow.
