• THE Islington In Europe meeting at the town hall last week sounds like a pretty dismal occasion (Miller tells rally: We must not give up our Brexit fight, March 17).

It seems that its main aim was to find ways of subverting the democratically expressed wishes of more than 17 million British voters. It does not sound very pro-EU, but merely an anti-democracy rally.

It would appear that nobody listening to the speakers at the meeting would ever have guessed that the British electorate voted to leave the EU by a majority of well over a million, on a larger turnout than at any recent General Election. Likewise, that a substantial majority of MPs represent constituencies which voted Leave.

If anyone at that meeting thought that a million-vote majority was insufficient, they should have said so when the enabling legislation was going through Parliament. They didn’t.

Would anyone there be disputing the legitimacy of the vote if it had yielded a 52-48 result the other way? I think not. They would be saying that democracy has spoken, and telling the 48 per cent who backed the losing side to be quiet and accept the result.

Never have I been more proud of the British people than when they rejected the bullying and scaremongering of Project Fear, and voted to set Britain free from the clapped-out and failed EU, which has proved itself to be undemocratic, anti-democratic, and corrupt beyond reform. There’s a world out there, and I am looking forward to Britain playing a full part in it, free from the dictatorship of Brussels and the clutches of the Little Europeans.
