@Lazarou@mastodon.social@clacksee during Brexit one of its leaders said something along the lines of "like Icarus, we shall fly away"
Their posh education didnt teach the ending of that ancient tale then?
@sheislaurence @clacksee I'm thinking it might have actually been Boris Johnson, but they were certainly Posh and would have known that story.
@Lazarou @clacksee i had to look it up... It was the Telegraph! Peak journalism! Wonder if they went to the same posh school as Liz Truss... https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2019/09/tortured-brexit-metaphor-alert-telegraph-thinks-icarus-flew-freedom
@sheislaurence @Lazarou
Boorish Johnson also said we would make a titanic success of Brexit.
@clacksee @sheislaurence @Lazarou
There's somewhat more wiggle room in likening things to the Titans, though.
@sheislaurence @clacksee lol, classic Telegraph
