SIR - How typically Tory! If you can't engage in the argument, attack the writer and his/her party.

This appears to be the philosophy of the likes of Cllr Roger Taylor, ("We voted to leave the gravy train of Brussels", T&A letters, June 22).

The Tories well know about gravy trains! I don't believe that telling correspondents what the situation is, thus inviting counter-arguments is "insulting".

To claim, as this Tory councillor does, that the referendum "was the highest mandate ever in the country's" "democracy",just shows how bankrupt our "democracy" is. Thirty seven per cent claim the right to lord it over the rest of us! To play your game councillor, we are supposed to be living in a representative democracy and parliament has/had no business in cedeing sovereignty to the 37 per cent who voted for Brexit amid a sea of lies and misinformation.

May et al are clueless on the Irish border and the men of violence hope it will stay that way. Scottish Nationalists will seek to uphold their interests as they see them. Does anyone really think Brexit will make the economy prosper?

"We", (the 63 per cent majority), did not vote to potentially crucify the country.
