Brexit, Brexit, Brexit….something we hear about every day now. Brexit will go down as one of the top ten shit shows in our lifetime. I have a pedestrian knowledge of what it is but didn’t absorb all the complexities of it because I figured it doesn’t concern me. However, for the country it does concern you’d think the people involved would’ve drilled down on all the possibles of what could happen before they pulled the trigger. But nooooooooo! Two and half years into the plan to exit the EU the UK still can’t figure it out as the deadline loomed. A former boss of mine once said, “never get rid of someone unless you have somebody as good or better waiting in the hotel across the street.” He was referring to radio people but it can be applied to Brexit.

The government put the plan up for a vote, the majority said they wanted to leave the EU. I heard that around 80% of the people who voted didn’t understand a lot of what they were voting for. Huh?!! And obviously the government didn’t fully understand where the bullet was going to go when they pulled the trigger either because they’re talking about taking another vote, extending the deadline, building a wall, oh wait, that last one isn’t theirs. You know how a British accent makes almost everything sound smarter? Well even their accent can’t put lipstick on this pig. Now they’re stockpiling toilet paper and paper towels because the majority of it comes from Germany. All contracts have an end date and negotiations should never go past that date. If there is no resolution by the expiration date that means one party didn’t fully understand what they were dealing with and is monkey wrenching the proceedings. All solid contracts should be a win-win for both parties. Period!

Now, I have to get back to my brackets. I don’t really follow college basketball but no matter what my choices are I won’t have to worry about getting toilet paper. Jolly good!
