We stormed out of the European club like a dramatic ex slamming the doorβonly to now peek through the window asking, βSoβ¦ how much to come back in, but like, not really come back in?β And just when you thought the bill couldnβt get any spicier, along comes a side order of international conflict funding.

Ah yes, the grand illusion. βTake back control,β they said. Control of what, exactly? The privilege of paying entry fees to the very market we theatrically divorced?
