Now was the time for a radical denunciation of the whole failing enterprise, writes David Pollock. Plus letters from Richard Carter, Marie Catterson, Diana Francis, Tim Lambert, Dr Mark Wilcox and Michael Ayton
Your editorial (4 July) welcoming Keir Starmer’s “pragmatic” (some might say unprincipled) reversal of policy on Brexit is disappointing. The terms for rejoining could not be as good as previously, but the EU regretted our departure and would quietly welcome us back. The public are progressively disillusioned with Brexit, with a poll of 200 polls now showing 49% counting it as a mistake against 38% still clinging to it. They realise that it was sold on a lying prospectus by a now proven liar and his cronies, who have demonstrably failed to deliver on their promises.
Now was the time for a radical denunciation of the whole failing enterprise, coupled with similarly radical economic policies aimed at credible levelling (up and down) towards equality, undoing the damage of the last 12 years.
