Drowning in Brexit

Although I voted ‘out’, like many others, I didn’t expect it to happen. I thought I would feel good, so I didn’t expect the feeling of sudden panic, the worry of ‘what have we done?’

let’s face it, we weren’t given the pros and cons for very long, or in any great detail, to absorb beforehand. I remember feeling, as a small island compared to the rest of the world, we were floating all alone in the middle of the ocean. It was a weird feeling of abandonment and isolation that I didn’t expect.

Now the feeling has escalated and it feels as if we are slowly sinking. How are we going to emerge from this awful mess we find ourselves in? Who will save us from drowning?

Mary Gilbert, Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex. I AM disgusted by the behaviour of so many of our self-serving MPs.

The treatment of Mrs May has been disgraceful. While, as she admits herself, the deal on the table with the EU is not perfect, it is obviously better than anything else likely to be put forward.

I think Mrs May is one of the most trustworthy prime ministers in recent history, and she has tried very hard to get a good deal for the UK.

So many MPs are self-serving, and between the Remainers, the hard brexiteers and Jeremy Corbyn waiting for a general election so he can become prime minister, I worry about what they’re all trying to do to the UK.

I really do wonder if we live in a true democracy any more, when the result of a referendum is being ignored by so many in Parliament.

Mary E. Farr, Taunton, Somerset. IN All the discussions about a second EU referendum, no one has suggested the most obvious solution, which is to give the people of the Republic of Ireland a referendum on leaving the EU. If they vote to leave, the Irish border/backstop issue is solved at a stroke! DAVID Kilpatrick,
