The English at the prow of the ship
Corriere della Sera has put England at the front of the European ship. Likely to get sunk on its own.

As anyone knows who has travelled on the prow of a ship, it's where you feel most seasick.

I bet there is a lot of sick people around this morning in the UK, not knowing what is to happen and likely feeling no one can benefit no matter what does happen!

Northern Ireland just won the lottery. Not much chance of a hard border with Ireland either. What a muddle!

Re: The English at the prow of the ship
Well written article as usual by Severgnini who knows his stuff although why does he have to keep fuelling the idea that the UK = inglesi? He does differentiate at the beginning but then talks about "identit� nazionale"..
