IT’S a pity that some who were so keen to jump into print this week did not wait a while before writing.

This may of course apply to me!

They make all manner of claim that they were correct about what would happen to markets and the pound which by today are shown to be wrong. There is then the matter of what is a majority. The answer is a well-established fact – more than the vote on the other side. 60/40 or other figures do not come into it.

We seem to be living in an age when people feel that if they do not like a decision then they want it done again or simply ignore it.

This includes even the law which if they do not agree with they want to ignore.

The fact of this country is we are a democracy and one of the basic rules is that the majority decide until the next time. Does it not occur to those who voted remain that the ones who voted leave may have done so because they value the British way of government and our sovereignty and wanted control of it back in London and not Brussels?
