Madam,

I agree with everything Margaret Hall wrote (‘First time a country has imposed punitive sanctions on itself’, Letters, 7 March. Theresa May in blind obstinacy denies the police the correct numbers and support they require to deal with all crime and the turmoil of Brexit.

She has wasted over two years with her misled cohorts, forcing the Remainers to defend their half of the population from possible disaster. Over 40 years in the EU has to be dismantled and reassembled in another form, costing businesses and taxpayers time, money and trouble. The fact is we are stronger together, thus the only solution left is to have another referendum so we can vote stay or leave.

The lesson is that, in future, those who wish to keep the status quo must have well over threequarters of the entitled votes, and not just split the nation, as they did in this present case.

Yours etc, Chris Smith, Bryn Deiliog, Llanbedr.
