And they’re off!

tHe latest instalment of Project Fear is that leaving the eu will spell the end of the grand National. the mind boggles at what the remainers will come up with next.

We will all be lost because we will lose access to satnav, which we played a major role in developing; we will have no medicines; our planes will no longer be able to land in europe; crops will rot in the fields because no one will harvest them; and there will be food shortages.

talk about scaremongering. In fact, the drugs companies won’t walk away from the billions spent each year by the NHS on medication. the foreign car companies and white goods manufacturers won’t give up their sales to the uK.

I know what I am talking about because I am a former head of european, asian and South american operations for a multi-million-dollar u.S. corporation selling high-tech automotive products worldwide.

NORMAN UTTON, Woolacombe, Devon. WHy the panic about Brexit? My food shopping includes meat from Scotland, lamb from New Zealand, poultry, tomatoes and fruit from england and avocados from Peru.

My clothes are made in turkey, Vietnam and cambodia. I don’t seem to buy anything from europe.

R. S. DIAZ, London NW10. HaVINg spent four years living in romania and travelling throughout europe, I am amazed at the level of eu investments in infrastructure, and not just in the poorer countries.

Hungary has a wonderful motorway system thanks to eu funding, which also paid for the Spanish toll roads to Barcelona. the eu even funded a promenade linking the marina and town in Saint- cast- le- guildo in France, which is lovely, but hardly essential.

Have similar projects in the uK attracted eu investment?
