Madam,

The cat is now truly out of the bag with Brussels, in the form of the EU negotiators having little to offer the Brexit negotiations except intimidation, bullying and fear.

Hopefully those who voted to remain in the EU (not to be confused with a Common Market) will now recognise the real face of this dictatorial club.

Recent events in Catalonia clearly highlighted how the EU interprets and abuses democracy.

Remember also when the Danes voted against the Maastricht treaty in 1992 for greater integration. A second vote was instigated to get the ‘right’ result. Then it was the turn of the Irish to be ‘convinced’ they had it wrong in rejecting the Lisbon Treaty – now it is the turn of the UK to be ‘coerced’!

Project Fear has been given life again with talk of another Blitz from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) which is based in Paris - but no doubt the British spirit will prevail, as it does against all bullies, and our representatives will clearly let the EU negotiators and their cronies know what they can do with their inane doomsday scenarios.

Yours etc,

Dave Haskell, Cardigan.
