Dear Sir
My jaw dropped in total amazement when Tony Blair claimed he had always been a passionate European. Only 20 years ago he was advocating withdrawal because the “EC drained our resources and caused unemployment”. Which indeed it does. I listened to his speech with great interest because if you closed your eyes the content was pure Nigel Farage. UKIP have been saying pretty much the same sort of thing for years. The EU is out of date, statist, backward looking, anti-competition and wasteful. He left out corrupt, but then he would wouldn’t he? The only flaw in this brilliantly delivered monologue was in the conclusion. He, along with the conservative party think it is redeemable. That it can be reformed. Like the wife who marries a drunken philanderer on the hope she can reform him. Only tears lie ahead. We have had 30 years of this nonsense, common agricultural and fisheries policy, fraud, African levels of growth. Nearly all the serious city economic pundits know we need to get out. No doubt in 20 years Tony Blair will start his speech with “I have always been a passionate fox-hunter” before being led gently away to a leafy home for the bewildered.
Yours faithfully
Godfrey Bloom
