Idiotic bid to punish nation

Altofts,

AT last the anti- British EU bureaucrac­y, led by its President, Ursula von der Leyen, are finally showing their true colours

( The Yorkshire Post, October

2). They have the temerity to try and prosecute the British nation in the European Court of Justice, for trying to break free from the EUs control over our essential freedoms which any independen­t nation would insist as a usual condition of nationhood. It is incomprehe­nsible that any UK government would allow themselves to suffer the indignity of being taken to court by a foreign entity. Particular­ly one which relies on access to the British market place in which to sell a large proportion of their agricultur­al and manufactur­ed products. Hopefully the Government will tell Ursula exactly what she can do with her idiotic attempts to punish this great nation. If she is successful in using her own court to prosecute Great Britain, I wonder how will she collect the fine? Or will she send an invasion force to carry out the sentence? She cannot be serious and I hope that Boris Johnson will tell her what she can do with her court action and dismiss this national insult with a Churchilli­an wave.

I’D like to congratula­te our major trading partner Germany as it celebrates the 30th anniversar­y of reunificat­ion. Whatever its history, Germany today has become a major force for the promotion of internatio­nal cooperatio­n, peace and democracy. Contrast this with Boris Johnson and Priti Patel who can’t wait to make it more complex for German and English youth to mix in their shameful rush to end freedom of movement.
