Gregory, what an aptly Faustian link. Apologies to doubltess wearied American, and other non-UK, members. I wish I could defend these 'Brexit' exchanges as offering you light relief from your own dystopian agonies - but, I'm afraid these seemingly arcane matters are every bit as serious this side of the pond and north of the border more serious still.
For light relief - or at least for a carnival of the ridiculous - you could try watching the Article 50 circus, sorry 'debates', on BBC Parliament, but on second thoughts I doubt if that would cheer you up very much. It certainly doesn't do it for me, though the Western Isle's MP, Angus McNeil asking the Chamber if any of them knew how many countries in the world had absolutely no membership of any regional trade agreements was a moment that stood out as a kind of high/low point of political comedy. The answer is only six - and that number does NOT even include North Korea. After 'Brexit', May's UK will be "going boldly" where even the "dear leader" has not dared to tread. Laugh if you can!
