I WAS baffled by Philip Roe’s letter (“Disturbing scenes...”, The Press, March 17) on Turkey.

My thanks therefore to Dorothy Nicholson (“EU citizens fulfilling...”, March 20) for pointing out his mistake - and doing so without triumphalism - just as Richard Brown did in response to PR’s whoop “We’re out” immediately after the referendum result was announced.

What a pity that PR (“Britain can make its way...”, March 22), having apologised, didn’t leave it at that but used it as a platform for another anti-EU polemical. I would have respected him if he had done the former.

And, by the way, since he chose to use a fancy term for unwelcome people, he should at least have ensured that he got it right, see OED, plural.

Did he attend Latin lessons at Archbishop Holgate’s Grammar School or was he in Absentia - and is it in the EU?
