I got the usual inane 'respect the will of the people' response from the local Tory MP to my letter about a People's Vote. So have responded with both barrels...

(thread) 1/8
2/8 An illegal, mendacious campaign, fuelled by Russian money and the American far-right is not a vote to be respected, especially with your party turning its face away from the mountains of evidence of foreign meddling and electoral malfeasance.
3/8 You should be pressing for true democratic process - voiding the illegal vote and putting the question to the country again now that there is more information on what Brexit will actually mean - not trying to push through a policy that is going to be economically disastrous.
4/8 No one ever said we would leave the single market. There are a thousand videos online proving that to be the case, from even the hardest Brexiteers ahead of the 2016 vote.
5/8 Many I've talked to would change their vote now - so that 4% margin would be washed away: you are not speaking or acting for the majority. People won't forget who pushed Brexit through: it will go down in history as the most damaging act of self-harm of any modern country.
6/8 Many farmers, fishermen, fruit- and flower-growers here are frightened for their continued existence if EU grants and freedom of movement are ended: most locals don't want to do these back-breaking, early morning jobs.
7/8 I will continue to fight for a People's Vote, as should anyone who regards themselves as any sort of British patriot.
8/8 PS. We won't forget the money siphoned out of austerity coffers to bribe the DUP for their support either, for shame.
