Dear Sir,
Parliament is in the process of killing off Brexit, and our Democracy, with the help of Corbyn.
We were told by the Remain campaign that, if we voted Leave, we would leave the Single Market (and the free movement of people), the Customs Union and the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice. We were also told that if we left the Customs Union we would be able to sign free trade deals worldwide, and have a non-racist immigration policy.
I recall David Cameron asking Obama to interfere in our internal Referendum by telling us we would be at the back of the queue (he meant to say ‘line’) for a free trade deal with America. However, the Leave Campaign ‘Trumped’ that!
In his pre-election handwritten leaflet our MP Phil Wilson wrote, “I put local people and local concerns first. From backing your Brexit . . . If this means opposing Corbyn, I do . . . I am for Labour not for Corbyn, it’s my name on the ballot paper”.
I have met with Phil Wilson twice to discuss Brexit. At no time has he expressed any intention of backing Brexit. He certainly will not be backing our Brexit if he supports Corbyn’s ‘stay in the E.U. Brexit’. A ‘soft Brexit’ is not Brexit and is definitely not worth the £40 Billion divorce bill. Parliament is wasting time and money and undermining business confidence talking about compromise. It is the E.U. that should compromise.
The Withdrawal Agreement with the Back-stop is illegal; it breaches International Treaty Law!
No patriotic MP can vote for it. However, Corbyn’s Momentum/Labour Party intend to support it if we change the Political Declaration, which does represent Brexit, for a Political Declaration which keeps us in the Customs Union.
When is our MP going to oppose Corbyn and support the Brexit that 60% of his electorate voted for? Was his leaflet just another cynical politician’s lie? Will his name be on the next Ballot Paper for Labour? If Parliament cannot get us out of the E.U. then the Leave campaign must change their slogan from “Take Back Control” to, “Clear the Parliamentary Cess Pit”.
Yours sincerely,
Alastair P.G. Welsh
