In his recent letter to you, David Walker makes a lot of assumptions.

Firstly, he writes with the confidence of someone who assumes that he is correct.

I can think of  some people who would disagree with him immediately, apart from me: i.e. the Prime Minister, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Governor of the Bank of England and the U.S. President, to name but a few.

Another  assumption that Mr Walker makes,  is that EFTA, NAFTA  and the old Commonwealth would  continue trading with  us after we leave the EU. There is no guarantee  of this and it  should be pointed out to the electorate.

Mr Walker also uses the old  'reds under the bed' argument, which I think is stretching things a bit beyond meaningful  discussion. 

Of course in a democracy, Mr Walker is entitled to his opinion and I am sure he will exercise his vote in the  referendum.

He says that he wants  Britain to leave the EU,  while the going is good before they drag us down with them. 

Does he really want the UK to be seen, by the rest of the world,  as a rat deserting a sinking ship, if,  as he also  assumes,  the EU is sinking?

We did not desert them in 1939, neither should we now.
