Arise Sir Geoffrey

Ah, you were just talking b*llocks then, basically. I'll continue to live with that.

No. It's a rhetorical device. I wasn't going to explain it because I thought it might come across as patronising but since you insist!

It's sharing an in joke with the reader. It then takes it to a ridiculous conclusion to emphasise the point in a knowing way.


A bit like someone exasperatedly saying they wished Leave supporters would check facts a bit more often before shooting off. The obvious in joke which plays with logic there and which everyone gets is the "bit more often" line because everyone knows they never check facts at all.

Brexiteer situation reminds me of a Mexican stand-off, they win the vote set a deadline but then pull guns on each other, cue closing credits.
