Politicians’ fear of taking responsibility

From: Barry Tiller, Bargate, Richmond.

I WONDER how many other people think along the same lines that I do, namely the reason why so many MPs are against Brexit is because they know they are going to have to do the job they were elected to do – run this country – and that they are incapable of doing so. They will no longer be able to pass the buck to the EU, but will have to take responsibility for their decisions.

From: Mr L Brook, Rothwell, Leeds.

THE task of the Government was very simple, leave immediately with no payments, no compromises and no delays.

Clearly our leaders have betrayed us, and sadly their behaviour does suggest they think we are incapable of controlling our own country.

They are not fit for purpose and it is the nation that will pay dearly for their actions.

From: John Wainwright, Tingley, Wakefield.

I DO not believe that a second vote is justified, but ‘Remain’ cannot be an option if it is to happen.

We were asked in 2016 to choose between in and out, and the result of that vote must be respected. If they make us vote again, the choice should be between the deal on offer or the so-called no-deal option which, right now, is the default position.

From: John Turley, Dronfield Woodhouse.

BREXITEERS continue to bury their heads in the sand over the impact of Brexit. No doubt if we do leave the EU with no deal, they will continue to claim the resultant impact is due to other causes, blaming anything and everyone but themselves.

From: Brian Darvell, Thurlow Avenue, Molescroft, Beverley.

ALED Jones (The Yorkshire Post, January 3) is wrong to say immigration started in the 1950s. Immigration has been going on for thousands of years and without it our culture wouldn’t be what it is today.

From: Eddie Peart, Broom Crescent, Rotherham.

WHY do Remainers want to overthrow the result of the referendum? We live in a democracy.
