The Twelve Days of Brexit (trad.)

[TalkinPeece]

On the first day of Brexit my Government gave to me
A Unicorn in a May tree

Brilliant literary effort, TiP 😂
but the slow reveal is killing us !

and I loved your preppers version too, sabbatical

TiP's a gardener they are used to delayed gratification

If anyone is up to the challenge a little donkey brexit version would be a treat

if we didn't laugh...

Brilliant.
This should help me sleep better tonight - thanks

On the Ninth day of Brexit my Government gave to me
Nine councils cutting services
Eight PLCs relocating
Seven parliamentary amendments
Six briefing papers
Five Brexit Myths
Four ministerial resignations
Three Narnia trade deals
Two Ramsgate Ferries
and a Unicorn in a May tree

been at the gym all morning ....

now we get to the ones I thought of while listening to the news

On the Tenth day of Brexit my Government gave to me
Ten Lords a leaping to a tax haven
Nine councils cutting services
Eight PLCs relocating
Seven parliamentary amendments
Six briefing papers
Five Brexit Myths
Four ministerial resignations
Three Narnia trade deals
Two Ramsgate Ferries
and a Unicorn in a May tree

On the Eleventh day of Brexit my Government gave to me
Eleven Orangemen drumming along the border
Ten Lords a leaping to a tax haven
Nine councils cutting services
Eight PLCs relocating
Seven parliamentary amendments
Six briefing papers
Five Brexit Myths
Four ministerial resignations
Three Narnia trade deals
Two Ramsgate Ferries
and a Unicorn in a May tree

What could be really fun is coming up with the links which provide supporting evidence for each day's "gift"

pretty
THat will be a bit tricky for 11 and 12 as they have not happened yet ....

Links?

I'm sure we can find examples of Orangemen drumming along the border

😂

On the Twelfth day of Brexit my Government gave to me
Twelve pipers piping for the breakup of the Union
Eleven Orangemen drumming along the border
Ten Lords a leaping to a tax haven
Nine councils cutting services
Eight PLCs relocating
Seven parliamentary amendments
Six briefing papers
Five Brexit Myths
Four ministerial resignations
Three Narnia trade deals
Two Ramsgate Ferries
and a Unicorn in a May tree

THing is that if you add it up, over the twelve days there would be 30 trade deals - which has not happened even in Liam Fox's dreams

PS, if you have never read this book,
www.amazon.co.uk/Thirteen-Days-Christmas-Jenny-Overton/dp/0192735438?tag=mumsnetforum-21
You will not envisage the mess that 12 Unicorns can make

Thank you TIP - many a truth is said in jest. To mix my metaphors with

But TiP - these are fictional Narnia trade deals, so I'm sure we can come up with 30 of Fox's "easiest trade deals in industry". They don't need to be real ....I'm sure Fox's legendary intellect will add add up all the African countries to prove 4 to equal 30 and that together they equal the value of the EU market that we are walking away from

Brillant!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Bravo!!

Brilliant literary effort, TiP 💐😂

Shameless link but DH mentioned it tonight and I could not resist

the UK dances around like a muppet, but the reality is
