If I’m Europe and my spouse just announced an intention to divorce, I say, “Fine, get out now.” Then I change the locks.
There is a difference.
The U.K. Voted to join the European Economic Community.
This morphed all on its own into the European Community, then finally the European Union.
With marriage the Human Doesn’t Physically change into Cthulhu.
Great analogy. If The EU is in such a hurry for the UK to file divorce papers, just kick the UK out. Otherwise STFU!!
