Piers Morgan has today described Geoffrey Boycott’s Brexit speech as “one of the greatest mission statement’s” he had heard “probably since the era of Churchill” after his appearance on Good Morning Britain. Mr Boycott was questioned about the UK leaving the EU without a deal. The stoic Yorkshire and England Cricket legend said that the “spirit and the determination of the British people” would mean the UK would “survive” a no deal exit. Mr Boycott stated as “strong people” pointing out the UK “came out on top” after fighting two World Wars.

Speaking this morning on GMB, he said:

Great Britain, the United Kingdom, we as a people, if we don’t have a deal with Europe, then we will collapse, it will be terrible’, no it won’t. We fought two World Wars, and we came out on top, why? Because of the spirit and the determination of the British people.

That’s what the British people do. That water around our island has saved us from all kinds of things throughout history because we are a strong people. There is plenty of others, we haven’t even talked about China, 1.3billion.

So, let’s hang on, we are not totally dependent on 300million people in Europe.”

Piers Morgan spoke for many when he said in response: “Geoffrey that is one of the greatest mission statement’s I have heard, probably since the era of Churchill.”
