Came across this article from 2013 by Sam Neill in "The Spectator" when I typed in "JN Brexit"...found it good entertainment value - and not just because he mentioned our man! (which I think is remarkable cos a five years time lies in between Dean Spanley and that article
. So our Jeremy must have made an impression on dear Sam.)
