THE many politicians in Brussels and Westminster are conducting our exit from the EU.

Comparisons with the approaching pantomime season come to mind.

MPs are rushing headlong to audition for the part of Wishy Washy.

Leaders from all parties desire to be Widow Twankey.

The role of Fairy Queen is in the hands of the Speaker.

In York should Berwick Kaler be looking for two Ugly Sisters, Michael Gove and Boris Johnson would be ideal.

Sitting in the theatre are those who won the Referendum awaiting the curtain to rise on a production of Cinderella - the ball ending at 11pm on March 19, 2019 with a rendition of Happy Days Are Here Again.

Champagne and carriages will be available from 11.30pm onwards towards freedom and independence.

Cheers everyone.
