WORDS keep changing their meaning. One word has changed dramatically thanks to Theresa May: “Clarification”.
The new meaning will be taken up by TV weather forecasters: “Now, over to Carol for the weather.”
“Thanks, Dan. First a clarification of yesterday’s forecast. Most of the South West is under water, following our forecast of bright sunshine all day. Today, we expect more heavy downpours of sunshine. Tomorrow, there will be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover, just you wait and see.”
“Thanks Carol. Look forward to seeing you later on.”
In the weeks to come, Theresa May will offer further clarifications.
Monday: As a Remain supporter during the referendum, I will ensure we stay in the Customs Union and Single Market, getting the best Brexit Deal for Britain.
Tuesday: To clarify, as a Hard Brexit supporter after the referendum, I will ensure that we leave the Customs Union and Single Market, getting the best Brexit deal for Britain.
Wednesday: To clarify, I am prepared to ruin the British economy providing I can stop all immigration. Or was that UKIP policy? Did I say that out loud?
Thursday: To clarify, I have asked Noel Edmonds to negotiate a Deal or No Deal on behalf of my Government.
