To escape the Brexit, England wants to merge with Portugal
Embroiled in endless debates in the Commons, Teresa May is considering a radical solution ... An idea that already has (at least) a defender.

To break the political and institutional stalemate, Teresa May puts forward a bold idea ...
"The reshuffling, however limited it may be, obviously occupies the minds, but late in the night a much greater news has fallen, as it used to be said when dispatches actually fell from teleprinters. The news in question did not fall, it flew away and gives hope to the whole of
Europe.
Great Britain was stuck like a donkey in the middle of the ford, unable to cancel the
Brexit or actually implement it. Teresa May has found the only solution, and this woman, who was betrayed a few days ago, has a serious chance of settling between Thatcher and Churchill in the pantheon of British glories.

This morning at 4 am, the governments of the
United Kingdom and Portugal announced the merger of their two states. The new ensemble will be called "Royal Republic of England and Portugal". The head of state will be Queen Elizabeth, but she will have to repudiate, if he did not die before, the Duke of Edinburgh and marry the Portuguese president. At the death of the queen, the president will become king, but will have to take for wife Meghan Markle. The Archbishop of Canterbury validated these principles in the framework of the founding council of the new Anglo-Portuguese state religion, Anglo-Catholicism.The English judges will keep their wigs, but they will be dyed black. The new state will have a Constitution drafted in Hindi not to displease anyone, and this Constitution will make sherry the national drink.Other elements have been precisely decided.

Already Winston Churchill ...
This historic movement is almost unprecedented. Experts recollect that Winston Churchill proposed the merger of the two states at the time of the 1940 debacle. Teresa May has taken up her torch and introduced a radical novelty that will surely be emulated. Already, moreover, the Flemish of Belgium ask their fusion with Malta, for reasons obscure, and Monaco its fusion with the Vatican, for more obvious reasons. All the great Europeans alive, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing in the first place, sent their congratulations to Teresa May. On the other hand, supporters of Benfica and Liverpool football clubs would be thinking of enlisting in the Foreign Legion. As the immense Andrew Siegfried once said: England is an island surrounded by water on all sides. Well, that time is over.
