Jarvis Cocker remembered a Britain free of ‘silly differences’ and it got people all misty eyed

Here’s the great Jarvis Cocker taking time out from a gig to remember a time when Britain was ‘free of silly differences’ and how Europe was ‘the first thing that made the UK feel like a country’.

It went viral because, well, have a read for yourself.

‘Jarvis Cocker read this out during his gig last night,’ wrote @bobthe_dolphin before sharing it on Twitter.

Beautifully put.

Something changed.
