REGARDING Phil Jones' letter Please explain in Wirral Globe (Wednesday, August 15) regarding Brexit.

I wrote a counter letter asking the same question but in reverse, why did people vote to remain.

Didn't get a reply.

The list why we voted to leave is long, with too many reasons to mention here, but here’s a start.

Seventy per cent of the land in Britain is owned by just 6,000 people.

Instead of these people paying tax to our treasury for this, the EU pays them to have it, thus entrenching the hierarchical class system,supposedly an anathema to a European socialist superstate.

The EU reduced our fishing quota to 13% allowing all other EU states to fish our waters, all but destroying our fleets, conversely.

Where we allowed to take ownership of say French vineyards, Spanish tomato growing lands or Greek olive groves?

A resounding no.

Immigration is out of control the numbers are unsustainable and we do not have the infrastructure.

Leaving the EU will allow us to control our borders and make our own laws, because currently 65% of our laws are made by the undemocratic unaccountable administration in Brussels.

We will save £15 billion net a year in contributions and have access to global markets outside of the EU protectionist racket.

Our taxes can be changed so that vat can be reduced, internally and externally making food, clothes, shoes and petrol, etc, cheaper.

I'd implore people to watch Brexit the movie to see the ludicrous nonsense emanating from Brussels and the effects of socialism since 1945.

So, over to your correspondent or other Remainers. Why did you want to give away your sovereignty and future to people you don't even know?
