Nissan’s decision is a vote of confidence in Brexit Britain

-

From: AJA Smith, Cowling, Keighley.

THEY said if we didn’t adopt the Euro, we’d lose Nissan. They said if we voted Leave, we’d lose Nissan. They said with a ‘hard’ Brexit, we’d lose Nissan.

What has actually happened? Nissan is to close its Barcelona plant and make the Sunderland plant the hub for production of core models for Europe – securing thousands of jobs in the North-East.

This is a great vote of confidence in Brexit Britain.

From: IL Richardson, Beverley.

THIS Government do so love doing things in threes. We began with Get Brexit Done, then via a decidedly bumpy road, we have arrived at Test, Track and Trace. These threesomes rarely end well.

The approach has already been critically undermined by the indulgent nonsense of keeping Mr Cummings in post, and an app that was more an abberation.

All reports suggests that there is ‘more hole than bucket’ to the scheme. Oh dear, that’s four words – I could never make it in politics.

From: Nick Martinek, Briarlyn Road, Huddersfie­ld.

REPORTS that the UK is signalling to the EU that we are willing to compromise on fisheries and trade rules comes as a fresh kick in the face for Leave voters.

That the UK owns the fishing rights around our coast is made clear by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. That we voted in good faith for the Leave we were promised – taking back all control from the EU – is also clear.

The Boris Johnson government was elected only six months ago on the understand­ing that we would truly cease being governed by the EU or any part of it. Continuing interferen­ce and control by the EU over our laws, money or fish is completely unacceptab­le. The future of our country as an independen­t nation is at stake.

And our Remain-obsessed establishm­ent looks set to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

From: Peter Cooper, Castle View, Wakefield.

I COULD sympathise with Jayne Dowle (The Yorkshire Post, June 1) if it were not for the hostile attacks on ministers by the media, not least your columnists. It’s easy to criticise when you’re not having to make the decision, especially with the benefit of hindsight. They should be mindful of the adage that no one with hindsight was ever wrong.
