And STILL you rage on at our MPs
YESTERDAY, we published a selection of Daily Mail and Mail Online readers’ letters that expressed scathing views of how preening politicians have created chaos over Brexit. Such correspondence keeps coming. Here’s another selection… WE ARE a laughing stock thanks to those in Westminster. Crime is on the rise, housing is in short supply and our legal service is unfit for service. But our politicians are unwilling to resolve Brexit. It makes you want to weep. MARIA, London. IF THE referendum vote has proved anything, it is that many MPs are just in politics for their own ends. They don’t believe in much more than their own egos and pockets. They certainly don’t believe in democracy or that they have a responsibility to serve the people who elected them. Let’s hope they are taught a lesson in the next General Election. N. WOODS, Chilton, Co. Durham. BREXIT just goes to prove there’s no situation that can’t be made worse by politicians. TONY DAVENPORT, Malpas, Cheshire. GIVEN the mess we’re in, may I suggest that readers’ Brexit letters be printed on the front page of the Mail to wake up our seemingly dimwit politicians to this country’s simmering rage at their denial of the national will. Clearly they still are not getting it. DOUG JENNINGS, Mickleton Glos. NO GROUP of people could so consistently invent problems or make so many bad decisions as the pompous clowns we call MPs. GEORGE MANN, Nottingham. AFTER the expenses scandal, you would have thought that our elected representatives would be more careful of antagonising voters. The Brexit fiasco is down to the fact that too many MPs have prioritised their own and their party’s ambitions before the wishes of those who elected them. Leave voters have been treated in the most condescending manner. P. ROBB, Sheffield. MPs are behaving like petulant little children. They need time out on the naughty step. MICHAEL ALBIN, Blackburn, Lancs. POLITICIANS should be ashamed of themselves. Remember: we gave them their jobs and we can take them away again.
LENA, by email. WHY don’t our shameful bunch of MPs want to sort out all the damage they have done in recent years? I would be surprised if a single one of them retains their seat in the next election. I, for one, will not use my vote, and many of my friends have the same attitude.
GEORGE DAVENPORT, by email. IT IS the job of the Government to represent the people. Otherwise we might as well go back to the times when ordinary people were not allowed a vote. TONY, London.
