In THE report of the arrests 
of a gang of drug smugglers 
(The Yorkshire Post, October 8), it was said the six Dutch conspirators were arrested with the aid of European Arrest Warrants.

It was claimed that if the 
UK leaves the EU without a security deal, this tool will no longer be available to UK law enforcers.

Brexit continues to divide political and public opinion.Brexit continues to divide political and public opinion.

This is presented that it as though it would just be a UK problem.

But do they not consider 
how the continental forces 
will function efficiently and quickly without access to the UK’s criminal data and surveillance records?

Perhaps the reciprocal exchange of information between the UK and the 
EU forces of law and order 
could be added to the list 
of deals outlined in Lord 
Peter Lilley’s essay (The 
Yorkshire Post, October 7), 
which will be in place 
without fuss upon the eventual Brexit.

BREXIT should have happened there and then, directly after the result of the referendum which was to Leave.

A group of Remain 
politicians, headed by Theresa May, were not prepared to 
get behind that democratic decision, and to work to 
make the decision to leave 
work.

None of the division of the people of this country would ever have happened.

We still live in a democratic country and democratic decisions must be adhered to, or we might as well capitulate.

WELL I thought I’d heard of 
most Brexit scares so I was 
taken by surprise to read (The Yorkshire Post, October 9) that there might be a shortage of loo rolls due to our exit from the EU.

It looks like we’ll have to 
go back to cutting up 
squares of newspapers 
and threading string through 
to hold the pieces together.

At least it will be a good example of recycling!

If THE supply of toilet 
rolls dries up with a no-deal Brexit it will at least give me 
an excuse to buy The 
Guardian.
