SIR – I read Wednesday’s Worcester News with a mixture of anger and astonishment at the views of those who would seek to overturn the Leave vote.

The Dean of Worcester makes the statement that “The case for taking the question back to the people seems... unanswerable.”

Well, sorry reverend sir, it is nothing of the kind.

The vote in the perfectly democratic 2016 referendum was in favour of leaving: in fact if you take England alone the vote was 53.4 per cent in favour of leaving, even more than the whole UK. We were told the government would implement what we decided.

Then Paul Hawes of Malvern for Europe says “Britain wants to remain”: well, if it does, then why 17.4 million people think otherwise?

He also dismisses them as “racists and xenophobes”: that is absolute bigotry, as he cannot possibly know all 17.4 million people.

I voted leave and am neither racist nor xenophobic.

Those who voted Remain seem to have assumed a moral and intellectual high ground, showing arrogance and contempt for those who voted otherwise.

Were I not limited to 200 words I would have a lot more to say.
