Trump has the right idea

Sir, – I am surprised you printed a letter rudely describing our senior politicians as “clowns”. Mrs May and her team are very capable and are probably just as relaxed as I am about a so-called “no deal”.

I am very impressed by how the prime minister is handling the ridiculous lack of support.

It is time that trade with the rest of Europe was slowly reduced.

There is not a single manufactured product imported that we can’t make better and if they won’t buy our beer and whisky we can drink it ourselves and stop drinking wine.

Tariffs will make us buy British made cars and take thousands of lorries off our roads.

If you are looking for scapegoats for the present difficulties try Edward Heath and John Major who took us in and deeper to engage with a group of countries who start wars and then can’t finish them and who open their doors to Africa and terrorists.

Donald Trump is going the right way by sorting out his own house and leaving others to sort out theirs. RJ Soutar. Camperdown Street, Dundee. may not be into SNPstyle Westminster walkouts can they at least find a way to show “Maggie 2”, otherwise known as Theresa May, that Scotland will no longer be treated with the utter contempt it was treated like by the late Baroness Thatcher?

Time will tell if they have what it takes to recognise that it is unacceptable for the largest town in Aberdeenshire to be more than 30 miles from the nearest railway station and having the EU deciding the quota for Peterhead fishermen long after we have left the EU.
