SIR - I read with amusement John Cole's letter in the T&A on March 14, saying that Brexit voters should admit they were wrong and we should all change our minds, accusing 'Leave' voters of pig-headedness.

I feel he's missing the point. What Mr Cole and others don't realise is that it is they, the people who complain the most about Brexit, caused it to happen.

One example is Tony Blair's open door, unrestricted EU immigration policy in 2004, a politically motivated attempt to impose diversity and equality as a concept on us all. The UK was the only EU country that didn't have restrictions on EU immigration at this time.

All this while having no consideration for consequences for life in working class areas. If anyone dare speak out about their concerns they were often dismissed as being racist.

Furthermore, the £350 million for the NHS written on that bus was not a policy promise, it was a hypothesis for when we leave the EU based on the fact that we'll have nothing to pay in, which hasn't happened yet.

Whatever the economic arguments, maybe Brexit is a backlash against political correctness so it is ultimately the PC brigade that caused it.
