Samuel Johnson was talking of William Pitt when he noted that “patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.” Johnson did not think patriotism was bad. What he objected to was those who used it in an argument for which there was no basis in fact. That distinction appears lost on Nick Reeves whose Twitter handle boasts the 4 letters #FBPE which mark him out as a man who froths and rages about Brexit as would a rabid dog. Let us pray for Nick, as his #BrexitDerangementSyndrome is severe. He is ill. He is also a scoundrel.
