Westminster won’t aid us as EU did

DAI Woosnam’s childish and flippant name-calling, namely ‘Romainiacs’ (WM letters, July 5) in condemning the responsible contribution being made by Remainers is a wake-up call and a reminder to the more discerning of readers of the shallow thinking that many Brexiteers apply to such a complicated subject matter.

He further insults Remainers as being “poor losers”. A chief architect of the Brexit campaign, Nigel Farage, is on record as stating to the effect that “in the situation of the Remainers winning by a narrow margin, it would ‘remain’ unfinished business and he would fight on”. I wonder if Dai and his other like-minded Brexiteers in these circumstances would still be namecalling.

I also wonder, in the nature of any consistency and equity being applied to their arguments, would they still, correspondingly, regard Farrage as a “poor loser” and what amounts, in an equivalent term, as a Brexit “maniac”. If I have read the minds of such Brexiteers correctly they would be interpreting his articulated approach as being a “responsible contribution.”

No doubt Dai will continue to live in England after Brexit so he will not have to experience the dire consequences that Brexit will inflict on Wales.

I worked in central government for many years and learned that many of those contributing to the Westminster government have very little regard for Wales. This, to some extent, is exemplified by the recent withdrawals of major economic projects, namely electrification and Swansea Bay barrage etc. All this occurring when Wales, as the poorest region of the UK, is in urgent need of an economic uplift. I am doubtful they would have treated either Scotland or Northern Ireland in this way.

Compare this with some of the major EU benefits that have been provided over the past decades in an effort to improve Wales’ infrastructure and economic wellbeing. D Williams Rhoose, Vale of Glamorgan
