Unreasonable EU demands

Sir, - My mother lived until she was 92 and just before she died, she told me that all her life she had never been able to erase the memory, the look of grief on her father’s face, when he received a telegram from the War Office telling him that his son had been killed at the Somme. This

“We voted to remain in the UK, but since then, numerous local branches in Fife have closed anyway, and RBS has slowly moved some of its operational assets out of Scotland

is something that happened to millions of other people.

Now we have a country responsible for the slaughter of millions of innocent people trying to hold us to ransom for billions of pounds to allow us to leave the EU.

If we had had politicians worth their salt they would have demanded billions of pounds in compensation for the people of Britain before we were forced into this EU debacle.

Some say we should forgive and forget but we have no right to forgive on behalf of the people who were killed and we should never forget them.

Present-day Germans cannot be held responsible for the actions of their forebears but if they have the decency to acknowledge and admit the crimes that were committed, maybe they could persuade those demanding this sum to drop this unethical demand. MM Thomas. 4 Wilkie Cottages, Rose Terrace, Leven.
