Letters: We deserve all the pain we get from self-inflicted Brexit wounds

ERIC Melvin (Letters, December 10) is spot on with his observation that the European Union has been instrumental in maintaining peace in Europe since 1945 but, as he points out, British people are less likely to be aware of the significance of this concept.
