From Bryn Glover, Kirkby Malzeard, North Yorkshire, UK
I was pleased by the unequivocal line you are taking concerning the possibility of a “no-deal” Brexit (Leader, 14 July). The phrase “crash out” would be most appropriate. I hope you sustain this approach, as I fear that already we are being subtly primed by hard-liners to accept “no-deal” as a valid option. Now that the UK prime minister has four politicians who originally supported remaining in the EU in , those who want total separation will be concocting strategies for the time until the UK is due to leave.
If I were one of their number, I would see delay, sabotage and undermining of the hopelessly weak official programme as my priority. Those of us who believe that the entire business is a load of monstrous nonsense need to sustain our vigilance to prevent hard-liners getting what they wanted by default.
