I HAVE been listening to all the important people who tell us that we do not need to stay in the European Union.
I am now convinced that we do not need all these Europeans with their workers’ rights and their democracies and all that nonsense.
We can form new alliances with Russia and Mr Putin. We know he is a good chap because Donald Trump says he is a “fine and strong leader”.
So he must be good because we all trust Mr Trump. Anyway we have our own Mr Trump now. We call him Boris and I am sure that he has the people’s best interests at heart and is not in this for his own agenda.
We can do a trade deal with that other great nation of human rights and fair play with Mr Jinping of China.
Yes, let us dump all these Europeans then we can all go down to Dover and sing Rule Britannia in the sunset as we gradually sink beneath our newly-acquired debt and isolation.
