LONDON – In a stunning announcement yesterday, the UK and the EU unveiled their newest trade agreement – the “Windsor Framework.” The agreement, which was signed by Prime Minister Elizabeth Smith and EU President Charles Macron, outlines the terms of the UK’s departure from the European Union.
So what does this groundbreaking agreement include? Here are some of the highlights:
– The UK will retain access to the single market, but will have to pay for any goods or services it imports into the EU. In exchange, the EU will pay the UK a monthly “ex-wife” alimony fee.
– The UK will no longer be subject to EU rules and regulations, but will have to ask nicely if it wants to be included in any group activities.
– The EU agrees to stop referring to the UK as “that one ex who just won’t move on” and will instead refer to it as “the friend that we don’t see as much anymore, but still love.”
– The UK agrees to stop calling the EU “the clingy ex” and instead refer to it as “the one that got away.”
– The UK and EU will exchange Christmas cards and birthday greetings, but not presents. That’s just too much commitment.
– The UK agrees to stop texting the EU at 2am, unless it’s a genuine emergency. The EU agrees to not play hard to get.
Overall, the Windsor Framework appears to be a lighthearted attempt by both parties to make the Brexit process a little less painful. We can only hope that they continue to use humor to diffuse any tension that may arise in the future.
