Courage to leave

BRITAIN’S exit from the EU is like a battered wife finally leaving her abusive husband.

She worked hard and brought money into the household, but all he did was watch TV all day. Money was squandered on his ne’er- do-well relatives who expected a handout.

When she finally plucked up the courage to leave, he scoffed: ‘You’ll never make it without me.’

Yes, it would be hard for a time, but the freedom to plot her own course will see her through the bad times. Trevor Collins, Grimsby, Lincs. MICHEL BARNIER and Jeanclaude Juncker have no intention of displaying any entente cordiale.

It’s time these rude, pompous and antagonistic EU elitist peacocks were knocked off their perches. Judith MACBETH, Emmer Green, Berks.
