Brexit, what Brexit?

-

SIR – Six years ago next Thursday the British electorate voted to leave the European Union in the biggest vote in our country’s history.

What has been done in those six years? We still have hundreds of EU regulation­s and directives on our statute book. We are told – six years on – that these will be “sunsetted”. When? And how?

Six years on we are still subject to the annoying and pointless General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) rules. Why?

Parts of Great Britain are still subject to interferen­ce by the European Court of Justice. Why?

EU passport holders are given favourable passport-control entry into the United Kingdom, but there is no reciprocit­y. UK passport holders have to join the long “Others” queues to enter the EU. Why?

British dog owners have now to obtain expensive pet passports for every visit to the EU, yet EU dog owners may enter the UK with no problem at all. Why?

The referendum vote gave the government the opportunit­y to take control of our own laws, and to shape our own destiny. That opportunit­y has been shamefully wasted.

But we may – may – get a geneedited tomato.

SIR – I voted Brexit to take back control. It seems we have not done so.

Who should I vote for now? Robert Taylor
