Referendum Parable .........

A little girl named Suzy was sitting on the pavement in front of her home.

Next to her was a basket containing a number of tiny creatures; in her hand was a sign announcing FREE KITTENS.

Suddenly a line of big cars pulled up beside her. Out of the lead car stepped a grinning man. Hi there little girl, Im the leader of the Conservative Party, David Cameron, what do you have in the basket? he asked.

Kittens, little Suzy said.

How old are they? asked Mr Cameron.

Suzy replied, They're so young, their eyes aren't even open yet.

And what kind of kittens are they?

They're REMAIN IN THE EU supporters, answered Suzy with a sweet smile.

Mr Cameron was delighted, a golden opportunity beckoned.

As soon as he returned to his car, he called his PR chief and told him about the little girl and the kittens. Recognizing the perfect photo op, the three of them agreed that they should return the next day; and in front of the assembled media, have the girl talk about her discerning kittens.

So the next day, Suzy was again on the pavement with her basket of FREE KITTENS, when Camerons motorcade pulled up, this time followed by vans from BBC, ITV, Channels 4, Channels 5, CNN and Sky News, cameras and the audio equipment were quickly set up, then Cameron got out of his limo and walked over to little Suzy.

Hello, again, he said, Id love it if you would tell all my friends out there what kind of kittens you're giving away.

Yes sir, Suzy said. They're BREXIT supporters.

Taken by surprise, David Cameron stammered, But yesterday, you told me they were REMAIN IN THE EU SUPPORTERS.

Little Suzy smiled and said, I know. But today, they have their eyes open.
