Tannhäuser’s Brexit

Or, How the Tories may have got away with dealing an underhand blow to Wagner and to pretty much everyone else too.

First of all, my acknowledgements go to Theresa May, who achieved the feat of loyally toeing the line of Cameron’s Remain campaign whilst remaining nonetheless ‘at a remove’ from the fray. She has soared to No 10 like a swan with her plumage unstained by the backstabbing and verbal diarrhea of all the rest.

I’m still nagged, however, by one thought that, I admit, is pure conjecture at this point. Was Cameron humming “to himself”(and the rest of the world) the first four notes of Wagner’s Tannhäuser as he was caught on camera going into No 10 for the last time? I can’t help feeling that that’s exactly what the duplicitous man was doing. Could that have been Cameron’s encore to the successful, once-in-a-generation performance of The Tories’ Opera production of “How to Brexit and look as if you didn’t even mean it”?
