Brexit phrases

There are four Brexit phrases that are particularly vexatious.

The first is I am British not European. Apart from being geographically inaccurate it is an obvious denigration of Johnny Foreigner. It infers that distance must be kept from the Frogs, the Krauts, the Itis and the Spics. Is the intention that with Brexit a new continent Britannia be proposed?

The second: We must have the best deal for the UK is rather unjust as surely the best deal must be for the EU who are the injured party and so, should be the least prejudiced by the outcome.

The third: We are leaving the EU not Europe is at least geographically exact but still difficult to interpret. Does it mean that the UK will still sing in the Eurovision song contest and play in the UEFA Champions league so that the hooligans can continue to vomit and fight on European streets?

The last is The EU must not punish the UK. Here, again, I beg to differ; there surely must be some punishment to a government that has taken such an irresponsible step. To weaken and destabilise the world power which at present stands alone in the defence of democracy, civil rights, human rights, labour legislation and the environment, to name but a few, is for me a punishable offence and one which has made the world a far more uncertain place to live in. This has been proven by the particular interest the other powers have shown in the debilitation of our unique Union.
