antisoppist and kaberett describe and explain Brexit

[rydra_wong]

antisoppist:

My kids keep having to do this game at school where they are all different countries and they have to make paper shapes but one lot has loads of paper and one pair of scissors and another lot has four pairs of scissors and three sheets of paper and another lot has all the rulers and someone else has lots of pencils. It usually ends in a fight. Which is quite realistic really. How have our MPs not noticed that we do not have all the scissors?

kaberett:

(because all the ones who are fucking this up so badly have spent their entire lives blissfully and arrogantly self-assured that of course they have all the scissors and have for generations, it's just that they might need to send the servants up to the attic to find them)

Context is watching Dominic Raab discover the existence of the Channel.
