The letters page of The Telegraph is often good for a laugh but never more so than this week (HERE). A reader from Portsmouth says he voted to leave the EU to automatically remove the right of any EU citizen to come here without our approval. He does not seem to know that Norway and Switzerland are not in the EU but still allow freedom of movement and if we leave and join the EEA we could easily be subject to the same rules and the government would have clearly met the referendum objective.
Another writer from Overton in Hampshire says the objective of our negotiation should be tariff free access to the single market without payment and without freedom of movement and this should be without preconditions or assumption of failure.
I assume these people are both avid readers of The Daily Mail and The Express. They are not even in cloud cuckoo land.
