MY husband received a letter from MP Andy Burnham asking him to vote to stay in the EU.

He would only do that if hell freezes over.

We are British, not European and never wanted to be European.

There is nothing for us in the EU and never has been, but there must be for all the politicians who fought to stay in it.

Is Mr Burnham and the rest of the politicians so stupid that they can’t see the EU is imploding in on itself?

It was never going to work the way it has been run.

The EU is responsible for two of the biggest cock-ups in history – opening all the borders and letting every Tom, Dick and Harry in and getting most of the countries to go on to a single currency.

I said when the Euro was introduced that if one country went bankrupt they would all go down like a stack of dominoes.

Not going on to the Euro was the one good thing that Gordon Brown did for us.

All the politicians said things to panic us in the run up to the EU referendum.

I for one would rather be poorer than I am now and be able to sleep at night and not answer to some fat-cat foreigner who hasn’t been voted in by the electorate.

France threatened us by telling us what the country would do if we left the EU but I did not see the French threatening us at the end of the Second World War when we relieved them from the Germans. They were all over us like a rash.

I admire the Hungarians for refusing to take any refugees in because they can’t afford it. Neither can we.

We have had to take thousands of people in and each government has cut this, that and the other so we can’t get the things that we need but the foreigners can. Does that seem fair?

I am not racist, but come on...charity begins at home.

We can’t even get our children in the schools we want them in because they are taking the refugees in first. That is what happened to my granddaughter.

We were told that every country in the EU would have the same but that has not happened.

We have complied with everything we were told to do, unlike the foreigners.

When you go to Spain health and safety is non existent. There are plugs and light sockets near wash basins.

The Spanish pensioners get two free weeks’ holiday, all expenses paid. Do we? No we flaming well don’t.

We have also been getting told who we can trade with. Is that fair?
