The original Private Eye editor. He ended up becoming an irresponsible controversialist, which I suppose isn't a bad thing. After decades of complaining about the EEC/EU in his last published column in the Torygraph he issued a kind of apologia:
“Even those few of us who have been trying to explain the unrecognised realities of our situation since long before the referendum could not have predicted quite what a catastrophic mess we would end up with … By ripping us out of the incredibly complex system that had so tightly integrated our economy with the rest of the EU we were putting at risk not just a large part of our currently frictionless export trade with the EU itself which provides an eighth of our national income, we were also risking much of our trade with other countries across the world.”
Actually, some of us, younger and supposedly less wise, predicted exactly this catastrophic mess.
