Chris Evans and the EU: Is The Tide Turning?

It was verging on astonishing to hear the dialogue between Chris Evans and his co-presenter just before the 7.00 news this morning. Having proclaimed that everybody knows that Greece is going to default on its debts, he went on to enthuse about the growing calls for a referendum on EU membership (notably from Mark Pritchard today) and in turn to say that he would vote to leave the EU even though he did not really know why.

Well, there's a startling revelation. Given how the skids were put under his predecessor Sarah Kennedy for many supposed political gaffes, including one about how Enoch Powell was the best Prime Minister we never had, how long before the fanatically pro-EU Beeb apparatchiks focus their sights on Chris Evans? Or would they fear to do so, knowing deep down that he has accidentally spoken for the majority, not just of his listeners but of the nation as a whole?
