Brexit Analogy; We've all been on a night out with a mate who says, "it's shit here - let's go somewhere else." Then, when you leave, you realise he has no idea where to go and the place you left won't let you back in. The United Kingdom is standing in a kebab shop at 2 am, arguing about whose fault it is.

2020Boris Johnson (als Premierminister Großbritanniens), January 2020It's about mass immigration at a time when 21% of young people can't find work. It's about giving £50 million a day to the EU when the public finances are under great strain.
Nigel FarageI don’t think it helps the UK. Brexit is the biggest mistake of this country after the war.
John Bercow, November 2019'To be, or not to be, that is the question.' A long time ago, a British playwriter wrote those heavy words in one of his best known dramas. About 400 years later, all of Britain went through a drama of its own, as the nation asked that question again and opted 'not to be'... part of the EU.
Raimund Dietz in Skylines, Season 1 Episode 1Where there is a will, there is a deal - we have one!

Andrew Neil: "Do you know what's in 5(c)?"
Boris Johnson: "No."
We will leave the EU on 31 October, deal or no deal. The way to get a good deal is to prepare for a no deal.

UnknownDavid Cameron announced he is stepping down in the wake of a vote, which should make me happy, but it doesn't. It's like catching an ice cream cone out of the air, because a child has been hit by a car. I'll eat it! But it's tainted somehow.
John OliverI don’t think we should have voted. I can barely rate a film on Netflix, don’t leave big decisions in my hands. Brexit is a terrible name for it, sounds like cereal you eat when you are constipated.
Tiff StevensonI was angry about the whole Brexit and free movement thing but then I realised I haven’t been on a holiday since 2012 and I’m broke anyway so how much worse can it get?
