WE will decide our own future

Reporter Villages editor I am one of the millions who voted to leave the EU and I am fed up with former Lib Dem leader and deputy prime minister Nick Clegg and all those clowns who constantly dare to suggest that we did not know what we were voting for.

Perhaps these dysfunctional remainers could tell the world what they voted for?

Did they vote that our monarchy should no longer exist and that we should have a president to be in line with the majority of the other union states?

Did they vote to make our political system obsolete so that MEPs should be our only representatives?

Did they vote for our military to become a division of a greater European military being run by French, German or Italian generals?

Did they vote that we should have to drive on the right-hand side of our roads in line with the rest of Europe?

Or did they vote for our language to be changed to French or German?

Did they vote for the capital of Europe to be Berlin or Paris?

No? I didn’t think so. The reality is they did not know what they voted for and do not know how the EU will look in the future and yet they have the stupidity to expect our prime minister and those of us who voted to leave to tell them what Britain will look like in the future.

There is one thing we do know and that is whatever the future may hold it is the people of this country and the MPs we elect, however bad they may be, that will make the decisions and not a motley bunch of Romanians, Albanians, French or Germans.

I take the view all those MPs who voted to remain and their constituents voted to leave should all by now have given up on politics for clearly they represent nobody but themselves. Mike Tibby, Fleetwood Avenue, Herne Bay. additional airport runway should be built is not the right question.

It is not what we could have in serving ourselves but what we should have in the service of our planet.

Future generations, if they survive, I continued, will marvel at the simplicity of it.

For what we should have is fewer planes.

As a natural corollary of that, I added, the ideal would also mean fewer cars.

Upon such simple interventions does our future rely? John Groves, Walmer.
