Did Cameron get a good EU deal for Britain?

-

SURELY David Cameron doesn’t think we are all so thick that we will imagine he has achieved something for this country? As for the Cabinet members backtracki­ng to keep their jobs, Cameron has given his notice and cares not about them or the rest of us. Heir to Blair? He’s a bigger charlatan than Blair ever was.

TONY MAXFIELD, Ipswich. DAVE has thrown out the baby and saved the bath water. But he can still fix it — with a swift Brit exit.

PATRICK DONOVAN, Hinckley, Leics. HAVING grown up on the coast of Cornwall, as a pro-European my main concerns relate to the Common Agricultur­al Policy (which pays farmers to set aside land with no requiremen­t to maintain its quality) and the Common Fisheries Policy (which forces trawlermen to dump thousands of tonnes of fish). Mr Cameron’s demands, which he describes as a good deal for Britain, are trivial and address neither of these issues. Sadly, just as with Google’s taxes, our government could have demanded far more but appears to be prepared to settle for too little. Dr NICK WINSTONE-COOPER,

Bridgend, Glamorgan. I AGREE with David Cameron that Britain should remain in the European Union but I am disappoint­ed by the ‘tough’ proposals in his new deal. His ‘emergency brake’ can be pulled only with help from others and his ‘red card’ doesn’t always take opposing players off the pitch. It’s an opportunit­y lost. THOM BROOKS, professor of Law and

Government, Durham University. CONSERVATI­VE MEP Daniel Hannan was born in Lima, Peru, and his family had a cotton farm at Santa Cruz, Bolivia. He came to Britain for a good education and ended up as a politician — telling us not to trust Europeans. We’ve always been Europeans, as has our monarchy.

RICHARD GRANT, Ringwood, Hants.
