Andrew - you're both wrong, I'm afraid. Hugh looks for this, especially where I'm concerned. This time you both have got it wrong and should accept my word on that.

With regard to the bit I've highlighted, my list was in the context of Brexit ("in these days"). It's easy to slip into the total negative, but I'm not questioning anyone's patriotism (I think) but perhaps questioning the degree.
