VENK Shenoi, in his rather insulting reply to my earlier misive, accuses me of being unpatriotic because I voted to remain in the European Union and that I should go and live in Belgium.   

Perhaps I should take the other 13 million people, who also voted to remain, with me because Brexiters act as if we have absolutely no rights in this country any longer. 

In fact the opposite is true — it is because I love this country that I do not want to see it brought to financial ruin and isolation in an ever dangerous world. 

He also accuses the EU of being a fascist empire, Nigel Farage calls it a “liberal socialist” empire. They can’t both be right. 

When Brexiters tell us that our economy is doing well despite the referendum result, it makes no sense because we have not actually left the EU yet.   

At the moment our growth and economy figures are based on a fully operational trading system inside a functioning free trade market which was lauded by people such as Margaret Thatcher whose policies, along with our membership of the EU, saved this country from being the basket case of Europe. 

Also, in reply to Mr Acland, it is precisely because of insulting letters from Brexit supporters about other Remainers in the past, that I write under a pseudonym.   

Anyway, he need fret over this no longer, because this is the last time that I will be writing to the Review, as any further debate on this subject is now futile.   

It looks as if our Parliament is hellbent on sanctioning Article 50, no matter how much we lobby them and irrespective of legal verdicts. 

The government is already climbing down from a hard Brexit because they know it would cost this country dearly. 

Brexit Minister David Davies has admitted that the UK may have to continue paying the EU to gain access to the Single Market. 

In the end we will end up with a watered down version of Brexit which nobody voted for and satisfies no one.   

It is the result of putting such a monumental decision in the hands of the general public — many of whom had absolutely no idea what they were voting for, including many of my friends and some members of my own family.   

They were convinced that the NHS would be flooded with money and immigration would cease immediately if they voted for Brexit.     

I hate to disappoint Mr Shenoi but they were not a bit concerned about high-blown things like “sovereignty” and there are millions more like them.  – True Blue, Tutshill.
