President Macron's approach to Brexit is 'annoying'
Reader argues that referendum results in France may have been similar if referendum was held
To the Editor,
I fully agree with the points made in the recent letter regarding the UK re-joining the EU. I think Mr Burnham is being rather presumptive thinking he will be the UK's leader in that event.
I have lived here in France for nearly 24 years and am still annoyed and amused at the attitude of French President Emmanuel Macron to Brexit.
He has personally ridiculed the English who voted for Brexit at every opportunity, and he's surrounded himself with narrow-minded ministers who have the same views as him.
In turn the French population has been brainwashed into thinking it was a stupid idea too.
If the French Government had called a referendum to leave the EU back in 2016, it may very well have seen a similar result to the UK, but as we know France doesn't like referendums!
