It has become a diplomatic story, a row between countries, which means the government will be drawn into it, like it or not. So they will be judged on whatever that response will be.

We also have to wonder whether Trump et al really watch the BBC; or whether the Telegraph or some other creep drew his attention to it. Which would make this a deliberate conspiracy hatched on this side of the Atlantic.

And there, I think, we have it. On the one hand, someone who gets the message right and employs an army of volunteers to communicate it and win. On the other, a group of people who clearly have no idea what they are doing and are split like the proverbial log, no doubt suffering much the same fate.

My dear, 200 columns is quite a thing. I think it must be the case that if George will not oblige with drinks on the house then up must step She Who Must Be Obeyed. I shall, of course, expect to be there. I imagine no such invitation will find its way to Clacton. Farage wouldn’t be there to accept.
