Matthew Parris - Change the Record Please

It was nice to read, last week in the Spectator, that Hugo Rifkind will no longer be infuriating us with his incoherent streams of consciousness (although I notice we shall still have to suffer him in The Times).  Not so with the bitter Matthew Parris who really should change his record (“Dear Leavebugs, it’s time to admit your mistake,” Spectator 22 Jul 17). When he does flip to the other side, he will recognise that his argument is based upon the tiresome non sequitur that freeing ourselves from the tyranny of the EU is not worth the risk of some economic sacrifice.  True, nobody wants to be poorer but some things are worth paying for!  Also, if he really does seek to introduce the EU democratic device of forcing voters to keep voting until they get it right, then, in the interests of balance, he might care to introduce the odd argument, social or economic, for sticking with the sinking ship?
