The normally chipper blue tank engine Thomas has turned to social media to express his outrage at perceived delays in the Island of Sodor exiting the EU.
“It’s an outrage said the outraged Engine we had a referendum here on Sodor in which almost a quarter of the population voted and leave won by a vote! It’s clearly the will of the people and its time we got on with it. Being in charge of your own Island is a great idea; ask Richard Branson he’ll tell you”.
Not everyone on Sodor shares Thomas passion for Sodexit though. “If it wasn’t for the EU the Culdee Fell Railway would have been abandoned years ago, said Lord Harry. There was a time when I would have voted for Sodexit myself but since the decline of the sheep dung export trade it’s only the tourists that have kept us going.
It’s all right for Thomas if it all goes Pete Tong he can always go back to being a drummer, not that he was any good apparently, but the rest of us are dependent on the EU to invest in the line, nobody else will”.
The Herald contacted the Fat controller’s office for comment and were redirected to Virgin Trains in the British Virgin Islands at which point the line went dead.
