Here EU go again...

PATRONISING Sir Vince Cable accuses people of voting to leave the EU because they are scared of immigration. Yes, we are concerned about the level of immigration, but not for the reasons he believes.

We are worried future generations will have to live with the effects on education, health services and housing of unrestricted access to our country.

We also voted to regain our right to govern ourselves and be free of the unelected bureaucrats in the EU.

M. W. ARMITAGE, Swindon, Wilts. ONCE again Vince Cable has shown his total lack of understanding of people’s reasons for voting to leave the EU. For me, immigration is a minor issue.

When Ted Heath took us into the Common Market, which at that time was only a trading agreement, I was firmly against it. I felt we had dumped our Commonwealth friends.

Canada would have given us access to the North American market. Kenya would have provided a door into Africa. Australia and New Zealand would have given us access to the emerging Pacific Rim countries. Over the years, the Common Market has evolved into the very expensive EU.

We are paying for unelected Eurocrats and the inefficient, oldfashioned French farming industry. We are dictated to over what laws we can have.

When we are out, we can run our country as we want.

DAVID W. STREET, Lydney, Glos. DOES Vince Cable not realise it was not only the elderly who voted for Brexit. Many youngsters voted to leave the EU because they can’t get jobs due to the influx of migrants forcing down wages.

As for a second referendum, Mr Cable can pay for it out of his own pocket. MARGOT DARBY, Haddenham, Cambs.
