I mean, the Financial Times was no enthusiast for Brexit, as you know.
And I mean, not just the fact that what are you going to do when people go home and you've got no one to work in the hospitals, but how do you think it's going to help your economy by erecting trade barriers?
How can you be a party which says we want free trade and then put up huge trade barriers to your nearest and most valuable trading partners?
I mean, the whole Brexit premise was nonsensical, to be honest.
But as you say, people weren't doing very much joined up thinking and probably aren't now.
Now, finally, George, I should ask you about Farage.
When he came out, where was it?
In Havering in London after they had taken that council early yesterday morning.
I think that's when I saw him.
And he was, you know, boasting about how the landscape had changed.
And then he looked for questions.
And one reporter, when he was talking about council funding, said, what about your own funding?
And he cut him dead instantly because there is a scandal brewing for Farage if Everett is allowed to mature.
Yes.
I mean, this is the, I think we can call it a scandal, the fact that he was given a gift of five million pounds by a cryptocurrency investor who's lived in Thailand for many years.
It wasn't declared.
It only came to light through the work of The Guardian.
And it's hugely embarrassing.
A £5 million gift is more than many of Nigel Farage's constituents would earn in multiple lifetimes.
You know, it's one of the reasons why I still think that despite the headlines that Farage generates, I still think it's unlikely that he will get into number 10 in a couple of years' time.
