Clear call for submission to the EU
From: Michael O’Sullivan, Allerton Bywater, Castleford.
JAMES Bovington (The Yorkshire Post, November 18) clearly agrees with Angela Merkel, whom he lauds.
Does he agree with her in her call for a United States Of Europe? She said: “My vision is political union because Europe has to follow its own path. We need to get closer, step by step, in all policy areas.” She added that “in the course of a long process we will transfer more powers to the Commission which will then work as a European government”.
Could a call for total submission be more clear?
From: Mr R Douglass, Woodseats, Sheffield.
IT is worth noting that the
EU, who adamantly refused to renegotiate for ages, when confronted with a deadline, suddenly turned around and discussed renegotiating.
It occurs to me that they are probably more desperate (for any bits that they might be able to tear off ) than we are. Without a deal, they would be forced to trade fairly without taking any advantages that they want.
It is my opinion that you cannot make a deal with a bully (someone who ‘appears’ to have all the power or influence). What we should be doing is taking back our sovereignty ‘absolute’, only then can we possibly be in a reasonable position to come to mutually beneficial trade agreements.

WHAT is the point of spending millions of pounds on a second Brexit referendum where the alternatives responses end up with the same result – Remain?
Labour’s proposals are Remain, or vote for a watereddown version of Brexit, as set out in Tim Hunter’s letter (The Yorkshire Post, November 15), whereby the UK will remain in the single market and the customs union, denying the UK of any of the advantages we want from Brexit.
From: Hilary Andrews, Nursery Lane, Leeds.
I SEE that Asda is blaming Brexit for its fall in profits (The Yorkshire Post, November 15). Interesting.
Many of my discussion group have stopped shopping at Asda because they hated it being taken over by Walmart and, in the final straw, management imposing draconian conditions on its workforce if they wish to continue to work there.
Brexit has become the whipping boy for all business failings when, in reality, many other factors are in play.
From: Shaun Kavanagh, Leeds.
JEREMY Corbyn and John McDonnell, together with others in their ranks, are regarded as having Marxist leanings.
They cannot be trusted to do what is right for our country. People should listen to or read the comments from financial experts to appreciate the mess the country would be in and the impact on family life which would result, if these clowns ever reach No 10.
From: Barry Foster, High Stakesby, Whitby.
IF ever here was proof of bias at the BBC, one has only to watch the news on TV and listen to the radio news. The lead item is always related to Labour and we are often treated to the Jeremy Corbyn and Laura Kuenssberg Show. Surely the other parties deserve a fair hearing and viewing?
