The symbolic figurehead of the United Kingdom, Theresa May, dined last night with the twenty seven elected heads of the European Union.
Ms May was given a child’s table in a corner so as not to disturb the grown ups too much. But she was allowed to speak when spoken to.
The meal consisted of a first course of the financial markets of London.
A main in which the automotive industry of the UK was divided out amongst the twenty seven.
Dessert was either the aerospace industry or fishing. But everyone was pretty drunk on the best German table wine available by then and recollections are hazy.
Ms May did impress by politely presenting a gift to the big people on being allowed into the dining room.
However, when the gift wrapped box was opened and found to contain an idea best described as “Maybe I don’t want to forcibly deport millions of people in 2019 after all?”, well, the adults wondered if Ms May was being raised correctly to think this even needed saying?
After dinner Ms May was invited to sing “Rule, Britannia!”.
A popular song in England that began life as a poem by James Thomson and was set to music by Thomas Anne in 1740.
An aide to Ms Merkel said this of the dinner,
“It is perfectly charming that the United Kingdom has allowed one so naive and sweet to pretend to be in power. I am not sure what her father Rupert tells her though? I believe she needs better friends. She did need to be reminded not to interrupt her elders more than normal for a child.”
