Well here we are, Olympic Year has arrived and the world will be coming to Britain as Britain moves further away from continental Europe.

It’s deja vu all over again, reminiscent of that famous early 20th century headline in The Times “Fog in Channel, Continent Isolated” ..... that’s the spirit; can’t have those continental Jonnies approving or rejecting our budgets with their unelected bureaucrats regulating the City of London, especially when their own accounts have not been signed off by the auditors for many years. We may not have much of a navy left, but by golly Britannia waves the rules.
