Brexit, Brexit.

So Brexit has happened - and, as is hardly surprising, with no proper deals sorted out between the EU and Britain.

I still can't believe something this stupid has happened. I can completely understand (as in intellectually comprehend) that the politicians who ran the referendum and started all that Brexit madness did not go back - could not, basically, without losing face.

But the crew at the rudder has changed since then, and there would have been ample opportunity to gather some courage together and say "hey, you know what, we can see now from the things happening that this was probably a bad decision, let's go back and stay in the EU". That did not happen, and I still don't get why.

Anyway - it is going to be interesting now how the transition period will end. Will there be a deal? Or will there be more dragging things out, to end all this with no deal whatsoever by the end of the year? We'll find out. Meanwhile, courtesy of a friend, here's a very nice Brexit song from some very funny Irish people (and you might want to turn the subtitles on, unless you are from Ireland...)
