Here is the Brexit situation as it stands: it is unlikely that a new deal will be struck before the 21 October deadline on which Boris Johnson must, by law, send a letter to the EU, asking

for an extension. It is also unlikely that the Prime Minister will agree to delay Brexit yet again when his entire platform is based on a guarantee to leave on Halloween. In short, we have

an angry public desperate to either leave or remain, with little in the way of middle ground; a legal obligation; and a political obligation. We are at the point where compromise seems to be

a dirty word, leaving the Prime Minister stuck between the ultimate rock and hard place. What’s more, the UK’s obsession with Brexit will have to come to an end once the UK has formally

left the EU. Like it or lump it, the Remainers’ argument for delays, more referenda or a blanket revocation of Article 50 will become all but impossible once the deed is done. Which is why

politicians have rightly been scrabbling around for a way of leaving the EU which will ultimately heal the divisions amongst the British public. As yet, though, they’ve drawn a blank. I,

however, have struck upon the solution. The answer to the Brexit conundrum is one Monsieur Emmanuel Macron. There is nothing that unites the British more than a little gentle disdain for our

neighbours across the Channel. You could go so far as to say you’re not really British until you’ve brought up Agincourt during some kind of sporting endeavour between the two nations. So,

back to the EU Boris goes, cap (or letter) in hand on Saturday, but just as the Parliamentary cabal of Bennites start to crack out the champagne, Mr Macron must veto the Article 50

extension. A mere ten days later the UK then leaves the EU, deal or no deal. Everyone who campaigned so vociferously to remain for the last three years will look around for someone to blame,

and, very quickly, one clear option will emerge. It cannot be the MPs that tied Boris’s hands. It cannot be Theresa May who secured a deal. And it cannot the Prime Minister who followed

their legislation. That would just fuel new division. Non, the answer is Mr Macron. Once again, the French ride to the rescue to unify the UK. The streets do not descend into anarchy as so

widely predicted. Instead the UK settles back into its centuries old custom of blaming the French for everything, while indulging heavily in their food and wine. The sorry saga of the past

few years will be done, finished, fin and if you listen hard enough, the soaring sounds of Je Ne Regrette Rien will be heard from the white cliffs of Dover.
