Re your editorial (The Guardian view on Brexit and Covid: a nation on the brink, 21 December), there is little doubt that enthusiasts for Brexit, and many of the electorate they convinced to vote for it, were anxious about the future. Climate change, shrinking middle class jobs, house prices and so on, thinking that Britain might be better off going it alone, unencumbered by the EU. Covid has demonstrated the opposite. When things become difficult, it is better if neighbours face problems together.
