Has anybody fed Nemo yet?

There must have been around a hundred people who sent me this link to the internet version of this article in the Mail on Sunday.

I don’t like the tone of the piece at all. It’s imperialist and insulting – basically, Little Englanders outraged at the very idea that Britain’s smallest former colony will now have a say in how Britain gets to leave the European Union.

But I liked the bits about Muscat, because they’re accurate. What did those billboards say? “We welcome 2,500 journalists”. Yes, one of whom will describe our Prime Minister as the puffed up minnow of the Med.

I know that was probably a reference to Malta, rather than one of the several insults levelled at him. But let’s face it, he does look a lot like Nemo.
