YP Letters: Back May or risk derailing our chance of good Brexit deal

I AM sick to the back teeth of Brexit remoaners making excuses just to get another referendum. People like Ken Clarke, Michael Heseltine, Lord Adonis and Nick Clegg. Even worse was Tony Blair.

I think the Labour party must be having seminars guiding its members on how to throw a spanner in the works at every opportunity to mix the Brexit process up. Because of all this playing around, we are the laughing stock of the world, and no wonder.

Every person should get behind Theresa May, who is working very hard to try and get the best deal she can for the future.

It took Blair and Gordon Brown 13 years to wreck this country, I think Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell would take three weeks to do the same damage. If this country came under attack with Corbyn in charge, he would throw his hands in the air and surrender – flower power comes to mind.

With all the country backing Theresa May, we stand the best chance of a good deal. If we don’t, we will be in big trouble, and it will be of our own making. It is time to stand up and be counted, and show some true British grit!

THE clear June 2016 referendum result reflected the ridiculous situation where the UK, with its global outlook and status as the cornerstone of the Commonwealth, was being directed by the unelected 
leaders of a bloc where our voice was one of many.

We must preserve our seat on the UN Security Council, our immigration controls, our relationship with NATO and avoid involvement in an EU army.

The EU has cemented membership of the single 
market to free movement, including that of terrorists 
and other criminals.

There is an increasing possibility that continuing to talk to intransigent negotiators is not worthwhile.

I WOULD remind readers that we didn’t vote to join the EU, but that Ted Health took us in off his own back with the support of Parliament. We then voted in a referendum two years later, 1975, but only after a one-sided campaign and the belief of many that we should give membership of the Common Market a fair trial. No mention of any European Union though, despite what Heath later claimed in his memoirs.
