I JUST cannot believe that people who have found Mr Cameron so hugely untrustworthy and also believe that his claims of ‘massive successes with renegotiations of EU membership’ are empty words can now be prepared to consider taking his advice on continuing our EU servitude.

Can we trust what the Lib Dems think on the issue when Clegg was so soundly thrashed in two EU TV debates by Nigel Farage last year?

Can we trust Mr Corbyn who has always fought the EU right up to the point of gaining his present job whereupon, he suddenly decided to become a fully paid up europhile?

THE RECENT Jeremy Paxman TV investigation into how the Remain or Brexit will affect the UK highlighted the differences between younger people and older people. The young tended to grin and opt for “stay”.

Paxman was slow to realise the reason, currently specialist tour companies target youngsters with cheap Mediterranean holidays giving gallons of near-free booze with parties thrown in. If Britain goes Brexit that free alcohol and easy travel will not be quite so free and easy.

Given the booze culture seen in York at weekends little wonder that youth wants the same when on holiday.

Interestingly the school children debating the referendum showed a more mature attitude than their older brethren. A case of “out of the mouths of babes”?

YOU REPORTED (The Press online edition, May 23) that I challenged Boris Johnson about the financial claim related to the ‘cost of the EU’ that appears on his bus. What I actually asked him was why he was driving around the UK with an inaccurate claim printed on it - we actually send £126m per week to the EU not the £350 million he claims, as we receive the outstanding payment back in subsidies etc.

My main point is that if Mr Johnson can so easily make misrepresentations about as important a fact as that, he can easily do so about other things. Having worked in the NHS for over 30 years, I also find the claim that the apparent money saved would go to the NHS funding equally unbelievable given the existing cuts it is already experiencing.

ALED JONES has added his voice to those who criticise Barack Obama for being a hypocrite (Letters, May 19), saying the USA would never allow itself to join a federal superstate dominated by an unelected parliament.

It’s another potty argument put forward by the Leave camp (Boris Johnson, I believe), based on misrepresentation.

For a start, the EU Parliament is not - repeat not - unelected. We all know MEPs are elected every few years, so why this attempt to suggest otherwise?

But more importantly, the USA already is a federal superstate. Federal law takes precedence over state law. The member states of the USA went through their integration process a long time ago.

To say they would never allow themselves to is therefore completely untenable.
