Beliefs tell me to find common ground with neighbours

I really cannot allow the rants against the Liberal Democrats regularly written by SP Vickers to continue unchallenged.

His latest is a prime example off this. He makes too many assertions to comment on one by one, but it is fair and accurate to say that the British electorate was misled by the Brexiteers in the run up to the referendum on the EU.

Anyone with any modicum of realism would surely realise that it is impossible to change the effects of the many laws, etc, passed by the EU affecting Britain in the 44 years since we joined what was then the EEC in the two years the Brexiteers said we could.

And we were faithfully promised £350 million per annum savings which we were faithfully promised by Messrs Farage, Johnson, et al, would go towards our National Health Service. Have you seen any of that Mr Vickers?

I’m looking at those flying pigs above our heads...

If we had been so willfully misled by the Brexiteers, that vote, close as it was, would probably have ended up very differently.

It is quite right to say the the British public should have been told the actual truth before the referendum, not a mixture of half truths, lies and pure fantasy.

In conclusion I find the belligerent tone of Mr Vickers’ overall comments annoying, but all too typical of many Brexiteers’ overall approach to such things. If Mr Vickers holds Christian beliefs as I believe he does, he has a strange way of showing it.

Where does ‘love your neighbour’ come into all this, I wonder?

My Christian beliefs tell me to find as much in common with my neighbours as possible, whether they are from the UK, the EU or any other country.
