When Booker and I started working together back in 1992, we spent a lot of time on agriculture and fishing, these being the victims of the two most fully-developed EU policies – and the most catastrophic. Part of our reasoning was that these industries were the "canaries down the mine". What happened to them could be taken as an example and a warning of what was to happen to the rest of us. What I certainly didn't bargain for, more than 20 years later, was how completely the two industries would disappear from the popular media, so much so that the depredations of the EU would seem like history, unattached to current reality, while contemporary hacks and politicians would know next to nothing of the background.

I can't believe for one minute that Cameron would frame government policy on the need to keep the Scottish people sweet prior to their independence referendum.

What actually goes on, and what the papers tell us are very often different things. With luck, Booker will be doing a piece on Sunday.

It also explains why the price of mackerel has gone through the roof.

I take it that's a reference to his issues with his friends at BT last week?
