YP Letters: Boot out the politicians who back EU

UNLESS you are on the EU gravy train, and most of us are not, you should vote leave, and start the beginning of the end of this self serving organisation.

If, and when the vote is to leave, then a vote of no confidence in the Government can be started.

With help from the media pressing for not voting for the three main parties at the ensuing general election, we could have an independent coalition in power.

They may not be much better than those that they replace, but they cannot be much worse. Change of the people ruling us is long overdue!

From: Mr A Davies, Heathfield Court, Augusta Park, Grimsby.

Some time ago you published a letter I wrote in which I expressed concern at the possibility that the electorate would vote in favour of leaving the EU and a majority of MPs in favour of remaining. That possibility now looks increasingly likely.

MPs, however, are not mandated delegates, they are elected representatives who swear allegiance to the Sovereign.

They serve their electors to whom they owe their judgement, no more, no less, They then account for their record at the next election.

With opinion polls close, with Brexit slightly ahead and with some 400 plus pro-European members in the House, how do we proceed?

From: Robin Barker, Sheriff Hutton, York.

WE are now faced with a modern “Munich Moment”. Even Neville Chamberlain was only prepared to sacrifice Czechoslovakia to appeasement whereas David Cameron has got nothing not even a piece of paper to wave.

Yet he urges us to sacrifice the sovereignty of Great Britain. Honest men lie in the war graves in order to preserve our democracy, enabling the British people to live in freedom and liberty. I beseech you not to throw these hard won rights away by the stroke of a pen and vote leave on June 23.

From: David Denton, Marton.

HAVING failed in two long conflicts to take away our freedom, Germany, and its warring allies, looked to a political solution to reach their objective by forming the European Union, our government then falling into their trap by joining. Since then they have slowly eroded our right to govern ourselves and have passed laws that we are made to obey. So it will continue until they have reached their aim of domination. Now it is our duty, in memory of the hundreds of thousands of young men and women who perished in those wars, to register our vote to leave the EU. To remain would be to besmirch the memory of those who made that ultimate sacrifice for us.

From: Lilian McCobb, Kirk Ella, Hull.

AS a tax-paying pensioner, my contribution to the EU is £18 per year – which works out at roughly 4.9 pence per day. So, leaving the EU will n make me much better off – I don’t see Boris Johnson or Nigel Farage popping me a cheque in the post for £18.00. The much needed flood defences at Willerby, near Hull, in themselves – which received over £5m of EU funding – are worth far more to me, my family and thousands of others in Hull and the East Riding than this relatively small amount.

From: Keith Wigglesworth, Mead Way, Highburton, Huddersfield.

BRITAIN deserves better and we desperately need a new crop of politicians who will see us out of the EU, run our country as it should be run and be seen to be doing it for the very best of reasons, that is for the good of the country rather than their own interests.

From: Barrie Crowther, Walton, Wakefield.

IT seems extraordinary that we send £55m a day to Europe but no one can tell us exactly how much we get back. A general consensus is we get around a third returned. There is no wonder EU accounts are never balanced or signed off, if simple payments and returns cannot be ratified.

From: Aled Jones, Southcliffe Road, Bridlington.

AMAZING. In the time it took me to read the Leave EU leaflet that came through my door, the UK had paid over £58,000 to faceless bureaucrats in Brussels. Over a year, that’d be more than enough to pay for 38 state-of-the-art new hospitals. What better reason do we need to vote ‘leave’?

From: R Miller, Malt Kiln Croft, Sandal, Wakefield.

MY fear now is that the Electoral Commission, leaders of the Remain campaign and most of the Labour party might, after all this is over, venture into the second-hand car market. Failing that they could always have a go at running BHS.

From: Linton Gaunt, Snape, Bedale.

IF the UK votes to remain in, we can be sure that the bureaucrats in Brussels will make sure that we suffer financially for having the audacity of trying to escape their clutches and there will be no point in voting at the next general election because the EU commissioners dictate legislation to our local and national governments. I cannot understand why Mr Cameron is happy being told what to do by Europe.

From: Arthur Johnson, Saffron Park, Kingsbridge.

I ASK your readers to vote to leave the EU, a nest of financial spivs and warmongers, so that you and your children have a future.

From: Tim Hunter, Knaresborough.

I CAN’T understand why young people are reportedly proposing to vote to remain in the EU owing to the freedom of movement issue. Why would it be such a big deal to obtain a visa before you get a job in Europe?
