BREXIT DEAL UNKNOWN

THE Brexit debate is in some way like the Vietnam War.

In 1964 when the deployment of American troops were sent there most Americans didn’t know or bother about it, but by the 1970s as the escalation caused more and more deaths on both sides and the American people rose up and demanded an end to it.

In 2016 the people of the United Kingdom were given a democratic referendum vote on whether to leave or remain in the European Union.

By a vote of 52 to 48 per cent the people voted to leave.

Now, two years later, the country seems even more divided like Vietnam on the referendum debates that are going on day after day.

Politicians in good faith from all parties and the so-called experts come on the politics shows and argue what the agreements been reached in Brussels one way or other is not in some cases what the country voted for.

The fact is that these talks are so complicated that most people don’t know what the whole deal is, not just the public but the people in authority can’t agree.

The bottom line is that people saw the red bus with the sign £350 million we could save each week going to the NHS not to the EU, and that we could control our own boarders.

There are thousands of agreements that the people didn’t know about that are now being negotiated.

The then Prime Minister who called for the referendum has to take the blame for what is now occurring.

He should have allowed 12 months of debating the pros and cons that are now taking place every week, before allowing the referendum vote.

One example is Zac Goldsmith MP who voted to leave but has now said that if he had realised the mayhem that is now going on in the country he would have voted to remain.

Nobody knows what will happen one way or another when we finally leave or not. A.P. Moxham Great Harwood
