E GENDLE (HAS, Oct 2) thinks that I am making a strange claim by saying that the Brexiteers are putting their country before their wallets.

Well, I stand by what I have written.

Every letter to the papers written by Remoaners is about what we will lose by pulling out of the EU, trade, contracts, subsidies, handouts etc.

Well, the Brexiteers are aware of all this, and they still prefer to leave. They don’t necessarily like losing all the benefits of the EU, but they are not prepared to sell their country at any price.

True patriots, to a man (or woman). There ain’t a Judas or an Esau among them.

As for this so-called people’s vote, that is the democracy of the school playground. If we don’t like the game or the rules, then we won’t play.
