What Remains

I am still going to vote to leave, but what matters now is what comes after the vote to remain

That vote to remain will be because the anti-EU franchise had been stolen by people who were all in favour of the EU until the day that Thatcher fell, or sometimes even after that, and who were notable for nothing apart from their personal eccentricities.

Peter Hitchens says today that he is going to abstain.

UKIP and the Tory Right are toxic. So expect to see an awful lot more of them, funny Union Jack costumes and all.

The media, pretty much all of them, want to discredit the anti-EU side.

And nothing discredits anything more than associating it exclusively, or even at all, with the middle-aged, lower-middle-class, white, male foghorns that we all know so very, very, very well.

Those foghorns will be at full blast between now and the referendum.

Having Farage on Question Time, if he turns up, is only the beginning.
