Project Fear’s laughable doomsday report is trying to scare Britain away from a successful no-deal Brexit
Wake up, PM
THE prediction of a no-deal Brexit apocalypse is both ludicrous and hysterical.
A civil service briefing claims it would leave us without food, petrol and medicines.
Jacob Rees-Mogg has rightly dismissed it as “Project Fear on speed”. It is a wicked attempt to terrify us into bottling a no-deal Brexit.
The doomsday report was leaked by officials who believe Brexiteers are “too bullish” about a no-deal Brexit.
Given how useless other dramatic Project Fear predictions have been, the latest should be taken with several bucketloads of salt.
The pro-EU fanatics jumping on this story are, of course, the very same people who have screamed since the Referendum about our economy collapsing and hundreds of thousands of jobs being lost. Voters are wise to their guff.
Theresa May has just enough time to prepare for any potential scenario, but only if she stops being bullied into paralysis by arch-Remainers in Downing Street and Whitehall.
Get on with it, PM.
Wise words
HOME Secretary Sajid Javid is spot on to abandon the annual “tens of thousands” immigration target.
It was a random figure David Cameron plucked from thin air. Why is it a Government target today?
Yes, immigration must fall. The numbers coming here have put an enormous strain on our hospitals, schools, housing and transport. It is not sustainable.
We want a level of immigration that benefits our economy without further overwhelming the country.
However, the Government’s refusal to give visas to foreign NHS workers with job offers is absurd while there is an NHS staffing shortfall of 93,000.
Mr Javid talked a lot of sense yesterday. We hope the PM was listening.
End this farce
HE witch-hunt against soldiers who served during the Troubles is disgraceful.
We applaud Defence Minister Tobias Ellwood’s call to end it.
Tony Blair gave the IRA amnesty. There should not be a double-standard for our ageing servicemen.
The Government must end this shameful situation.
Always united
ISLAMIC State cowards may sporadically terrorise us, but they will never defeat us.
The Islamist thugs who carried out the London Bridge atrocity achieved nothing other than uniting us.
