Consensus over arrogance

Sir, – As we watch the humiliation of the socalled British state it is time to pause and look back on the mess the little Englanders in the Tory Party have created.

Mrs May and the Conservatives are making us all a laughing stock but still they plough on blaming those nasty Europeans for their demise.

Liam Fox was quoted as saying dealing with the EU would be “easy”.

Iain Duncan Smith is now calling the EU “arrogant, strutting boastful and bossy”.

A phrase involving the words ‘pot’ and ‘kettle’ springs to mind.

The Tories cannot, in all honesty, blame the EU for sticking to their principles and to do so is just another example of their arrogance.

It must be quite humbling for Conservatives to witness the demise of their party with constant in-fighting and chaos.

Perhaps now they may be learning a valuable lesson that their arrogance has got them into severe difficulty and made them look like a relic of the past.

Perhaps they may even, in time, listen to people and seek consensus – and stop believing in a long dead empire that was only good for a few. Bryan Auchterlonie. Bluebell Cottage, Perth.

“It is all well and good wanting to curb immigration from the EU, but people living in the UK must be made aware of the clear impact this will have on the British economy
