THE last four race meetings I have been at I didn’t back a winner. I never dreamed of asking the judge and jockeys to re-run the races to give me a chance to back a winner.

The Remain voters should realise that a lot of Leave voters were voting as much as a protest vote against the arrogant politicians, both locally, nationally (both sides of the border), and internationally, telling us what we should be having and not what we want.

It was irresponsible of Angela Merkel to invite one million immigrants to Germany. Not only irresponsible to the indigenous German population, many of whom are of Turkish descent, but also the many decent immigrants who were trying to make a better life for themselves.

She never made any arrangements with education, housing, services etc to accommodate that number of people.

David Cameron told us it could spark World War Three. We are already there. The enemy are terrorists.

He wanted Turkey in the EU, a country which always was volatile politically. Recent events would have made it laughable to have them with free access to our borders.

The classic one was from the Remain brigade, who complained that only 52 per cent of the population voted to leave. Yes. What that means is that the majority of the people in this country want to leave the EU.
