You Can't Build A Submarine Out Of Cheese

Theresa May will step down, having failed to build a submarine out of cheese. Sadly, it looks like Gary Busey cosplay enthusiast Boris Johnson will likely succeed her.  This dramatically increases the likelihood of a "hard Brexit." Among the possible repercussions of a hard Brexit is a global recession and regional depression, increased violence in Northern Ireland and renewed secessionist sentiment in Scotland.  Yay, Brexiteers!  It is difficult to root for economic calamity and impossible to root for violence.  But it almost feels like Hard Brexit needs to happen and force real pain on the people who voted for this shitshow.  Of course, as we are seeing with Trumpist farmers and Chinese tariffs, the refusal to believe that your political decision was wrong is a pretty strong force in all politics.
