LETTERS – Bring solid facts to the table

In reply to our two Anti-Brexit campaigners in the letters page (January 31), it has become increasingly clear that despite the long ramblings and complete long-windedness in trying to explain your beliefs of what you deem to be the ‘facts’, designed to try and put the scare factor into any vulnerable Brexit voter it has come to light that we are seeing within this trend the repetitive use of the word ‘could’ when explaining to us all those numerous scare predictions.

When will the likes of Mr Meekings and Mr Swallow start telling us some facts that ‘will’ happen?

‘Could’ is merely guesswork based around the foundations and ideologies of a fearmongerer and stout remainer. Look to Question Time the other night on the BBC. Brexit was again the hot topic, yet listening to those such as Gina Miller and Juergen Maier, the chief executive of Siemens UK, (both die hard remainers) it was clear that their rhetoric throughout the show included the repetitive use of the words ‘could happen’.

Now myself, as a loyal Brexit voter, I am always told that leave was based on lies. But actually most leave voters based their votes on their experiences of our time as a member of the EU. This is where facts do come into play, because we have lived through that time and experienced a lot of things which we didn’t like. Those are things that ‘did’ happen. That is factual, compared to the repetitive wordings of the project fear gang of what ‘could’ happen.

So until they can bring back to the table some solid facts based on what ‘will’ happen, they will forevermore be known simply as scaremongers and the great anti-democratics basing their views around the flip of a coin.
