Councillor Steve Tierney was quite right in saying that “the worst thing is a politician who will say something and not carry it through” (November 28).

Presumably he was referring to David Cameron?

We were promised a referendum on the EU but it was avoided by the ‘Renegotiation’ diversion.

He said he would reduce the number of people coming to our overcrowded island but the numbers have gone up.

He said he would reduce the budget deficit but it has increased.

He said he wouldn’t pay the EU budget surcharge but is going to.

Yes Cllr Tierney, you were quite right.
