The darling buds of the Larkins

Now and Next’s Rolf has a piece on The Larkins, quite relevant to today:

‘Do you wish to be swallowed by the Continent? We have been an island for all time, haven’t we? Hasn’t it served us well? Isn’t it our strength, our salvation? Wasn’t it that that saved us during the war? The sea is our defence, isn’t it? Do you want to see it destroyed? […] Do you want us to lose sovereignty?’

We may not have wanted it, but thanks to the dictatorial oddball Ted Heath we got it in 1973, and we stayed in thanks to the pushmi-pullyu Harold Wilson, who led opposition to membership while in Opposition but persuaded us to confirm it by referendum when he was in power two years later, threatening us with shortages of ‘FOOD and MONEY and JOBS’.

All that may be true but one of the strongest arguments of the Remoaners and Globos is … you want sovereignty for your little isles, do you? Under people like Heath, Wilson, Major, Bliar, Brown? That sort of “leadership”? Call Me Dave, Mendacious May, Bumbling Boris, Lizzy Truss, Crowned Globo Sunpak?

What say you? Starmer? Corbyn? Cleggover?
