None of the above should be taken to mean that Boris is necessarily our new Churchill. I leave it to the Mayor himself to put that case with his customary eloquence, as he already has in his thinly-veiled, bestselling autobiography, The Churchill Factor. No, my point is about Sir Evelyn de Rothschild and the Financial Times and the Economist (of which for many years, Sir Evelyn was chairman) and the BBC and the Civil Service and the Foreign Office and the CBI and the big banks and BP and BMW and Lord Mandelson of Foy and Lord Rose of Marks & Spencer and all the other brilliant, well-connected, powerful, pompous people who are so sure that we should stay in the EU.
