EU has always been a protectionist entity

HELEN Capel sends in a very angry letter complaining about the EU being, well, being the EU.

That is, the protectionist organisation it has always been, prioritising economies within its single market and making competition from external thirdparty countries – that’s us now – as difficult as possible. You wanted Brexit, Mrs Capel, you voted for it, now own it.
