Border can be just like Switzerlan­d’s

- Stuart Eels Chippenham, Wiltshire

WHEN I read a letter criticisin­g points raised by myself as Paul

Halas has done ( Western Daily Press, November 5), I would at the very least expect some counter-argument saying why my points are not correct. However, Mr Halas doesn’t even address them, but indicates that I am wrong, giving no reason why. I see this with the remain campaigner­s quite often.

I stated that the overseas department­s – and that’s exactly how they are treated by the French government – are allowed to vote for their European Union MEPs and are treated as part of France, and they experience no problems with their borders with other countries which are not in Europe, as is the case with Switzerlan­d, surrounded by EU countries and all of them Eurozone countries. Come Mr Halas, explain why the border between an independen­t United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland cannot be treated in the same way. I look forward to your reply.

The next generation of this country will probably thank their parents for getting us out of this growing bureaucrat­ic nightmare which is the EU, with Jean Claude Juncker’s State of the Union addresses of 2017 and 2018 confirming that there will be one president of a united Europe, one chancellor and one European armed force along with every member state having to adopt the Euro currency, or don’t you believe the most powerful president of the six presidents of the European Union, Mr Halas?
