Readers do Guardian's job (again)

Some good Guardian letters today on L Elliott's article putting the Left case for Brexit. Good insightful and balanced, raising some issues with Lexit as well as supporting it. What good journalism used to be like once...

Perhaps the best criticism voiced concerns that still remain for me (and which led to my voting to join the EEC in 1975):

We do need a new vision of a post-crash, post-neoliberal, post-austerity Europe. But this will surely include getting global corporations to pay their taxes, and limiting their monopoly power – not possible for a little Brexit Britain.

That WILL have to be tackled. The EU's own record is not strong here either of course.
