86 - Fish

 I wonder if it really is true that the European Union's final words to the United Kingdom upon the completion of the "Brexit Project" were in fact;

"So long, and thanks for all the fish..."

Or maybe it was something I made up to make some kind of satirical point about the final sticking point being an agreement about fishing right, which the EU managed to squeeze more concessions out of Boris than he wanted, and tying it in with the dolphin's final words to humanity just before the Vogons demolished the Earth to make way for a hyperspace by-pass.

Or maybe the joke isn't funny if I have to spend a whole paragraph, comprised of just one long winded sentence that franky needed a lot of editing (but, oh, what's the point), explaining the thing. 

Either way, Brexit is now finalised. The UK is swooshing down the creek. The paddle is left in the boot of the car. And we've still awaiting Boris' announcement that the NHS will get the extra £350 million a week in the NHS budget.

After all, apparently all the promises of the 2016 referendum, and the Tories' 2019 election manifesto, are fulfilled in the UK's deal with the EU... well, that's what the official announcement of the deal claimed.  

Unless, like so many other things in the whole Brexit malarkey, it was another pack of lies.

Oh, well...
