SIR - John Hall (T&A, June 15) like all liberals, chooses to insult Mr Chapman rather than accept that the referendum was the highest mandate ever in the country’s democracy.

No one said we voted to give unelected liberals and wealthy luvvies a say on what BREXIT we wanted, we voted out, lock stock and barrel!

I will re-quote something I read the other day which sums up the cosy, self-serving anti-democratic gravy train of Brussels.

“The EU produces nothing, it sells nothing, it makes not a penny profit. It is a government without a country. It taxes us, it spends and enjoys the fruits of our labour. In the end it is worthless, a PARASITE bleeding its hosts dry of money, nationhood, pride and independence.”
