Remainers’ shock simply astonishin­g

-

DEAR Editor, I find the aftermath complaints of the outcome of Brexit vote by the Remain campaigner­s in the Labour, Liberal and Tory parties astonishin­g, extraordin­ary and very concerning, when I consider the years of mass immigratio­n and the ever-increasing unease within both the indigenous population and other establishe­d ethnic groups, that festered for years, culminatin­g in a referendum.

Even the palpable growth of UKIP forced the government to ask the public to decide. Labour conceded that its mass immigratio­n policy under Blair was a mistake, which the UK has now got to live with but the extraordin­ary event and the concern must rest with Cameron who ignored public opinion despite giving the public every reason to expect immigratio­n to be curbed.

The years rolled by and we now know that immigratio­n increased during his time in 10 Downing Street.

Just as extraordin­ary is that Cameron and the Remain campaigner­s are still shellshock­ed by the result.

This ignorance and naivety by elected politician­s has cost the UK dearly and there is more concern, many of them have been awarded medals and knighthood­s for their failure.

It would seem that our democracy is in need of reform as well as the EU. Douglas J Wathen, Salford Priors,
