UK must take back control

Sir, – It should be clear by now that the EU has a fifth column in the UK whose current purpose is to prevent Britain from escaping the EU’s jurisdiction over its laws and policies.

From Scottish “nationalists” who choose Brussels over London and Edinburgh, to Labour MPs who are happy to see the EU preventing state aid on which their manifesto is based, and the thugs with megaphones and foreign flags who drown out broadcast interviews with their interminable chants of “No Brexit”, all are marching to the EU’s drum.

They want to reverse Brexit by supercharging project fear.

All ignore the reality of the EU’s future plans and problems.

The EU is developing into a superstate with a common army, common taxation and a common foreign policy.

Countries are intended to become regions.

But its problems with Poland, Hungary, Austria, Italy and Greece, and with its banking system, will eventually break it.

It will go the way of all empires.

A clean Brexit will hasten its downfall.

We should move swiftly to trade on WTO rules to prevent the EU elite and their fifth column remaining in control of our laws.

We must take back control.
