WITH all the talk of a further Brexit referendum with little or no consideration for a clean break, no deal Brexit, should we not now take a closer look at the cost that would appear acceptable to those that voted remain?

It is a £39,000,000,000 divorce payment ­— or over £60,000,000 per constituency.

Just think what that would mean if three such payments landed in the Bolton coffers.

Not that it would necessarily happen, but thinking of the bigger picture, it could well improve our NHS, police, and any new temporary add on costs of leaving the EU.

Would this not make us all better off?

Also, the 17 million people who voted out did not vote for a £39 billion divorce that would appear to keep us under EU control forever and a day.

We should keep our cash and any deals struck should be made post Brexit next March.

Europe needs us just as much and if not more than we need them.

We are then negotiating deals with every country in the world from the position of a strong independent UK.

Think too of the pristine infrastructure of the roads and railways of Europe and compare them with our own.

We have been short changed by the EU for decades.

Enough is enough.
