This insight into the mind of a certain kind of little Englander is an absolute classic of the genre
We didn’t write too much about the 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote – you remember – possibly because we’ve written about it pretty much every day since anyway.
But some anniversaries are simply too tempting to resist, and into that category falls this interview, an exchange with Novara Media in the weeks after the Brexit referendum back in 2016.

When I came over here (admittedly many, many years ago) I was a director of a consultancy in the City. After that, I was asked to run a software company. I’m pretty confident in saying this chap was not on the shortlist for either job.
