• I DON’T want to talk about Brexit but since some council candidates are banging on about it, I’ll give it a go.

First, the Labour candidates tried to persuade us that their party is opposed to Brexit (May 3 slate, January 18 ), then the Conservative candidates tried to convince us that their support for Brexit is irrelevant to voters (The politics of hatred, January 25).

The Conservatives are pro-Brexit but divided and still utterly confused on what it means. Their long-standing and respected councillor, Andrew Marshall, has left them on this issue and joined the LibDems (and he’s not alone: Will Coles, Kishan Devani, etc).

How can council wards that overwhelmingly voted to remain in the EU and build upon decades of integration and success, be expected to vote for them?

I welcome the support of the Labour candidates for EU citizens but let’s not pretend that a vote for Labour will be interpreted in any way other than as a vote in support of Jeremy Corbyn’s pro-Brexit Labour Party and its unchallenged domination of Camden Council.

Our neighbours from the other 27 EU countries were not allowed to vote in the referendum even though they pay their taxes here and are the most affected by it.

This election may be their last chance to cast a vote in this country. Perhaps they should vote LibDem? The LibDems have run the council before and they can hold the Labour-run council to account.

Only a vote for the LibDems in the local elections on May 3 will send the right message on Brexit while still providing scrutiny of the council.
