Too much is being blamed on Brexit unnecessarily - Yorkshire Post Letters

From: Peter Auty, Great Hatfield.

Too much is being blamed on Brexit unnecessarily and to the detriment of our great independent country.

Remainers blame Boris Johnson for the hard Brexit, when the onus should firmly drop in their lap. If Johnson had not accepted the very poor offer from the EU, the UK would still be negotiating to leave the EU, delaying tactics to force an about turn from the UK.

The desperate litigation from people who could not stand to be on the wrong side of a democratic procedure, gave the EU negotiators the upper hand, they put the UK in limbo for four stagnant years, a most stupid and damaging state of affairs.

Growth has suffered due to poor governance, higher taxes have created unemployment, inflation, bankruptcies and untold damage to GDP.

I totally agree we should trade with the EU, but not rejoin, the country can't afford the huge monetary donations that would require, well run businesses will cope with any new regulations imposed by the EU, the UK has some of the best innovative businesses in the world.

This Labour government seems destined to make things worse, with their business bashing Budgets, taxes up, NI contributions up, unemployment up, bankruptcies up, inflation up, welfare payments up, then they have the temerity to blame it on Brexit, they've blamed everything else, business confidence down, investment down, more and more people in energy debt.

Don't blame it all on Brexit Remainers, it's becoming old hat. The buck stops on the top (PM's) table, and they should be concentrating on the problems at home first and foremost, there is much to do and rejoining the EU is not part of it.
