Re: Letter , May 10 Europe has many benefits for UK

HAVING read the letter from the recently converted "European" I feel it is necessary to put the record straight once and for all.

I too am very proud to be British. However, I am fearful that the European Union will destroy our England.

While I wholeheartedly agree with trading with other European countries, I am totally against any interference with the running and the security of this country.

It's what Mr Blair is not telling the British people that is particularly worrying. He went to great lengths to tell us that the Treaty of Nice was a good result he increased our number of votes from ten to 29. What he did not tell us was that when the EU expands, Britain will have 29 votes out of 345 a mere 8.5 per cent.

What, I wonder, will this ultimately cost us?

Again at Nice, the Commission achieved one of its greatest ambitions: to break free of national representation. Member states will have no guarantee of a Commissioner, so the last vestigial links between nation states and the eurocracy will vanish.

There could be no clearer sign that the EU intends to be a superstate, not a group of nations working together.

Europe, and particularly Germany, has long had its eye on our country the two wars prove that. What is happening now is, in my view, 'Hitler by the back door'.

While there are many advantages in joining the EU, Mr Blair knows that these will have a price and if he tells the whole truth, the British people would have nothing of it.
