Many people are very tired
of the media speculating about 'Brexit'.
It may well the new zeitgeist,
But it is zeitgeist full of indecision.
There are too many variables in it
for anyone to ever be mature
whilst they are being reassured.
I like single simple similes
which reflexively encapsulate situations,
mine is that the UK vote to 'leave Europe'
is like flipping the switch in the T.A.R.D.I.S.
It works Dr Who arrives rushed
into his T.A.R.D.I.S., slides the lever
to escape/the electorate vote 'leave'.
The ancient machinery of government
has to lurch into action, but it is so old,
so temperamental, eccentric and inefficient
that soon we don't know what it is we are
relying on for finding our momentum.
We don't know where the country will land,
or whether in the multi-dimensional vortex
of negotiating the 'politics of independence'
the country might split in to four different time warps.
Though given the regional disparities of wealth
many are saying that the country has already has split,
well beyond all possibilities of being repaired.....
And did I mention all the aliens?
Those who speak with alien tongues?
Look out Doctor! The people
your are trying to help don't know
that they are not who they say they are.
Their faces change behind your back.
Sometimes they look worthy of trust
and you do have to work with them.
But they really are very different....
It is not paranoia when can't see
how or why they are out to get you.
Last but not least, though she does not seem it,
in being seen in her 'futuristic' kitten heels/leather trousers
our esteemed leader Theresa May is, in her own way,
doing her best to suggest that she is The First Lady Doctor.
She was never just a Tory and some call her The Master.
Her late entrance and opaque campaign to be Tory Leader
worked because it was not just confused and contorted plotting,
She is not being gnomic about Brexit for nothing,
It is the start of the renewal of Dr Who's use of jargon.
Whoever we thought she was,
she was always a shape shifting Time Lord.
