Humpty dumpty had a great fall

Eu. Not phew. More like eugh!

I feel bad. But i felt bad before Brexit. So what is my net feeling? Well i don't have an emotional accountant, so like everyone else looking through their multi-tinted specs at this crazy world i can only say what it looks like to me right now.

I feel bad but also strangely optimistic. There will be a new EU, v2, modelled on something borne out of this crazy brexit chaos. And Britain is now at the forefront of that remodelling process, whether it knows it yet or not. Who knows, maybe this Eton Mess was intended, but let's not go there. Let's just eat our pudding.

Sometimes soft ground shifts below an old stone wall. A crack appears in the wall but then something magical happens. Rain dissolves some of the lime in the mortar and it runs into the cracks filling them. The wall heals itself.

But even if Brexit is more of a chasm than a crack, an old stone wall can collapse completely and you can put it back up again.

But what if you're sitting on the wall when it falls?

Humpty dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty dumpty had a great fall
But such a big poo did the tories do
That soft made the landing, eugh eugh!
