Taking the Brexit buscuit and leaving the crumbs. An exchange of letters from The Week.

I enjoyed this exchange of letters in the The Sunday Telegraph which was republished in The Week magazine on June 15.

Taking the biscuit . . .

To The Sunday Telegraph

If 52 per cent of the electorate say they like biscuits, it does not tell us what proportion favour particular varieties, such as garibaldi or nice.

Apply this to Brexit, and the vote does not indicate a majority for any particular deal.  In such circumstances, surely the democratic process demands public confirmation of any deal accepted by Parliament.

 . . . leaving the crumbs.

To The Sunday Telegraph

Mr East’s analogy is flawed.

It makes no sense at all for those who don’t like biscuits to choose which ones should be eaten by those who do.
