It sounds a bit
like the sort of sandwich which Elvis was reputed to favour,
but it’s really about the shape of Britain’s bold new future. That future is becoming ever clearer thanks
to the intrepid threesome of Fox, Gove and Johnson. Where would we be without them?
It was Fox who
told us back in March that the UK would be able to sell “innovative jam” to the French (who currently just
happen to be the world’s second largest jam exporters), although he didn’t tell
us exactly what an innovative jam is.
Then in December, Gove told us that Brexit means we all need to be more
patriotic about cheese, in order to ensure that the price of
Cheddar does not go up too much post Brexit.
And then, a couple of days before Christmas, Johnson lauded the sale of crisps to Russia as an example of the UK’s
exporting might.
Basing a modern
twenty-first century developed economy on jam and crisps and only
eating British cheese – what could possibly go wrong?
