Brexit: Crisis after crisis, Theresa May just plods on
Click HERE
very funny read.....
look out for:
1) the use of anaphora (repetition of sentence structure) for emphasis and impact, esp in crafting of titles and in speech (think ur SW)
2) the numerous figurative language (think about some of the effects of its use, i.e. intention of writer)
-"No deal... No hope... No clue... No confidence," declares the Mirror. The Sun edits her photo onto the body of a dodo.
-This is the bizarro world that is British politics, a Groundhog Day in which Mrs May awakes every day to discover herself in a dire political crisis, and every day survives, in her grim, implacable way.
-The rallying of Tories against Labour's bid to bring down the government, which was defeated by a margin of 19 votes, did it again, the thing that had seemed impossible: It put wind into her sails.
-"She is indestructible," wrote the Independent sketch writer Tom Peck, reflecting on the events of the day. "She is the cockroach in nuclear winter. She is the algae that survives on sulphuric gas from sub-aquatic volcanoes, seven miles beneath the daylight. She is the Nokia 5210."
-"I am trying to be helpful to the Prime Minister, believe it or not, but this is pure robotic fantasy," Mr McDonald said. He grumbled about it later on Twitter, writing: "I tried. But alas, the robot within the PM kicked in and she stuck to her script."
Note also how the Brexit, similar to the record-breaking and still ongoing US govt shutdown, is an excellent example of a dysfunctional democracy....
