Disguising the ‘truths’ about Brexit

-

HOW Michael Thompson can hide behind the word Brixham where he lives can belittle his belief that his hatred really is of Margaret Thatcher and we have to wait until his paragraph five before we get to his loathing of one of our best Prime Ministers since the Second World War who put in their place the red unions who were running and ruining this country until she put the ‘Great’ back into Britain.

I grew up in the town during the war years and I was taught that you only deserve what you work for. However as we read his letter it seems that he really believes the turncoat Dr Sarah Wollaston was right in her beliefs that voting to remain in the ECC was the correct option for this country because it reflects his beliefs. I would say to him go down to the fish market and talk to the real fishermen and find out some of the truths about the referendum. Leave or Remain was on the voting paper, but then the MPs and the unelected upper chamber got involved. Since then utter chaos.

One of the remaining attributes of the original writer was his ability to see into the future when he goes on to give ‘facts and percentage­s‘ of our future cost of living. All the experts have been wrong in the past. I am still waiting to meet someone who can see accurately how the future will unfold

Turning to the NHS it is under funded, but like all nationalis­ed industries it is also wasteful. However it is a national treasure. No administra­tion in government would allow it to fail even if there be left a note in the Treasury saying ‘there is nothing left to borrow’.

I could go on but what good will it do? Roll on March 2019. Ray Tabb via email
