That's amazing, and huge thanks JR. Now, where did I - we? - get the idea that Albert and Cecil never did actually get together?

I wonder if there will ever be a 'Brexit - The Opera', at some point in the distant future, a la John Adams. I'm assuming Brexit will of course end at some point, but I may be wrong. Writing the libretto would be fun; Boris would make a striking operatic character, delivering an aria atop the famous bus.

An excellent dramatic touch SA! At the moment though it's likely to be longer than the Ring Cycle, and with fewer laughs.
