"My mentions have taught me that Brexit is like Trump's wall. For its devoted fans it has a symbolic value totally unrelated to its workability, its true cost or the glaring self-interest of its proposers, whereas non-believers see nothing but a deranged and costly vanity project. "

Equally apt comparison to the EU.

Just because someone is famous doesn't make them wise, nor necessarily right.
If the quote really is from JK that there's a case in point.

Maybe, as others have implied, she meant to say :

"My mentions have taught me that the EU is like Trump's wall. For its devoted fans it has a symbolic value totally unrelated to its workability, its true cost or the glaring self-interest of its proposers, whereas non-believers see nothing but a deranged and costly vanity project."

Then it'd fit exactly.

Could you not spot that the tech somehow changed my "then" to "that" ?

(I spend more time correcting the stuff I typed perfectly, when I read what it has put on the screen, than I do typing the stuff in the first place.)

No. I'm pretty sure she meant brexit. It's what she wrote on Twitter.

Ah so that's where she possibly made the error.

Erm, there was no error. You wish there was, but there wasn't.

I'm guessing you don't have a twitter account, OG?

It seems those for whom celebrity holds little influence aren’t treating these dubious gems of wisdom in the spirit they were posted.

It a wonder we haven't had a few golden nuggets from the three wise men, Geldof, Bonehead, and the third is so insignificant I've lost his name! Help me?
