Not Best for Britain

DeSPITe his admission that the eU faces an existential crisis, George Soros wants the referendum result to be reversed and is spending £6million to bankroll a campaign called Best for Britain.

has this billionaire only connected himself to Britain to make as much money as he can out of us?

his condescension and arrogance demonstrate the kind of attitude held by those who presume to tell us that they know best – which was one of the factors that led to the Brexit referendum.

British people made their decision two years ago and will not take kindly to being told that, because it was done without the oversight and benefit of Mr Soros’s all-seeing wisdom, it doesn’t count.

PHIlIP J. ASHE, leeds.

IT IS ironic that George Soros is bankrolling the Best for Britain campaign, given that he acknowledges the EU is a project that threatens most of its members.

His sole reason for wanting to reverse the will of the majority of the British electorate is to save this failing project. Is this really Best for Britain? BILL PATERSON, Yeovil, Somerset. IF GEORGE Soros’s heart is in the UK, why doesn’t he donate his £6million to the NHS instead of trying to alter the democratic result of the referendum? F. GOODWIN, Lutterworth, Leics.

Ruth right on NHS

OUR unique NHS is at an undoubted crossroads. We may require decisions previously considered unpalatable, such as whether we can afford to pay for the most expensive drugs for some patients.

Free prescriptions and access to A&Es may become chargeable. Even with strict savings, services will need additional expenditure.

That is why Ruth Davidson’s clarion call for change is appropriate, suggesting that Tory economic policy should divert from tax cuts to funding for the plight of the NHS.

The perceptive Miss Davidson has tried to propose a change of direction rather than prevaricate.

Nicola Sturgeon take note. Shona Robison? Just leave!
