YP Letters: Brexit arguments continue to rage as the election looms

Prime Minister Theresa May appears on a joint Channel 4 and Sky News general election programme recorded at Sky studios in Osterley, west London.

THANKS to David Cameron offering a referendum on whether we stay or leave the European Union, I worked with people from all parties and we surprised ourselves by winning the leave vote.

The election on June 8 is not only about who will govern our country for the next five years, but who will be the right person to negotiate the best possible deal for the UK in the Brexit negotiations, which will affect our country for future generations.

These negotiations commence on June 19. Your choice, Theresa May or Jeremy Corbyn?

From: Terry Palmer, South Lea Avenue, Hoyland, Barnsley.

IT is reported that the EU Commission’s own lawyers advised them some time ago that the demands for a Brexit Bill of €50bn (or €60bn or €100bn) is simply unenforceable. A House of Lords Committee has also reached the same conclusion. This suggests two things. First, Brussels takes seriously the possibility of our walking away and second, they’re scared witless that we might. If we do, there’ll be a huge black hole in their accounts. And they’ll have ruined relations with their largest export customer.

Looks like the ‘nasty party’s’ Theresa May will have an extraordinarily strong hand, if only she has the guts to use it in the same way that she is prepared to use it to rob her own country’s OAPs. Do not hold your breath!

RE the letter from Jonathan Hill (The Yorkshire Post, May 26) about the Brexit vote. My decision to leave was simple. The unelected governors of the EU were not honest. The auditors never signed the accounts, suggesting considerable amounts of cash had gone missing.

From: Dave Haskell, Cardigan, Ceredigion.

WAS that a Freudian slip when Mrs May, during her Bank Holiday speech, asked viewers to vote for “me”? I guess a potential dictatorship will be avoided when folk look for her name on their voting papers, but whatever happened to the good old, “vote for the Conservative Party”?

From: Arthur Quarmby, Mill Moor Road, Meltham.

THE Conservative campaign has been so useless and counter-productive that one is led to wonder whether they really don’t want to win the election?
