We have no control on EU entry

Mr Watts would have us believe that the UK is heading for a dictatorship, based on nothing more than the fact that Prime Minister May has sacked Michael Heseltine for having different views from her own. Shock! Horror! Hold the front page! A British Prime Minister has sacked someone who doesn't share her views. Surely such a thing has never happened before in the entire history of British politics! Still, at least with our dictatorship we get a chance to vote them out of office every five years, unlike the EU dictatorship that he espouses so fervently.

As for David Taylor, he claims there will be a huge shortage of skilled workers in the UK once we have left the EU, as apparently we will be locking the doors to everybody from the EU as soon as we have left. Perhaps, Mr Taylor, you were not born before the British people were conned into voting to join the EU, because in those far-off halcyon days, we had things called passports and work permits. By means of these documents anyone from anywhere could, if they wanted to, come here and work if they had skills that the country needed and there is no reason why that same system could not continue after we have left.

I have no problem at all with the three million or so European nationals who are currently living here and contributing to our economy-long may they continue to do so. What sticks in the craw of we Brexiteers is that as long as we are in the Union we have no control whatsoever over who comes here as long as they come from any other EU country - and that includes terrorists and criminals masquerading as refugees.

It would greatly help, of course, to reduce any possible skills gap if our state education system actually started turning out pupils who had the requisite skills, instead of the national scandal of the 20 percent or so who leave after 12 or 13 years of state education unable to read or write properly or do basic maths.
