Quit the hating and give Brexit a break

WHEN we were kids, some words got our mouths washed out with soapy water.

Obviously, you can’t do that now because today’s little angels know their human rights and probably have the European Court of Justice on speed dial.

But back in the day, it did the trick. Now there are some words that make you want to wash your brain out with bleach. Rather than the F-word, though, it’s the B-word.

Yes, bloody Brexit. A word that has haunted us for seven long years. A mythical oven-ready deal that made us all feel like we were turkeys getting stuffed ready for a roasting. We were told that it was all about getting Brexit done. And now – drum roll please – it appears to have finally staggered over the line.

The EU’s chief Ursula von der Leyen has had a love-in with Rishi Sunak, a cuppa with King Charles and announced the Windsor Framework.

It sounds more like a bad sitcom about Randy Andy but let’s not sweat on the details. Is everyone thrilled?
