For me, despite all that, the main point is still crystal clear. Are we to be a fully independent nation or to continue as an increasingly isolated voice among the majority who have fully signed up to the journey towards the country called Europe, with all that implies?.

The Remainers pride themselves on our opt out from the eurozone, although many of them wanted to join. Now the euro itself is in danger as it depresses the economies of almost all its members with appalling levels of employment, particularly among younger people in Greece, Italy and Spain. The rise of so-called populist parties (to me more like Mussolini's Fascist Party) now presents a very real danger to the stability of the EU. France threatens to become near ungovernable under the lash of industrial disruption like that which brought down Heath and Callaghan before Thatcher saved us from disaster.

Here at home, in a near panic over the movement of the polls, the Remain campaign has now resorted to calls for the Leave Campaign to set out a legislative programme for a post-Brexit government. But Leave is not a government-in-waiting. It does not have a Parliamentary majority. Mr Cameron does and it will be up to him, or a successor Conservative leader, to implement the will of the people expressed in his referendum. He would do well to consult men who run major independent companies, not least Sir Anthony Bamford or James Dyson, who see a bright future for the businesses they own. They might even convince him to change sides!
