I am writing in response to recent letters about Britain's membership of the European Union.

We're all aware that EU Ddrectives have dictated the curvature of our bananas and cucumbers, decimated our fishing and farming industries, and been the cause of Post Office closures and fortnightly refuse collections?

It is no secret that we pay around £40m per day for our membership, yet the EU auditors have refused to sign the accounts for 13 years.

About 80 per cent of our laws are made in Brussels, and our politicians in Westminster lack the power to overturn these laws, should they even have the desire, or courage to do so.

The only party dedicated to fighting for Britain's democratic interests, over the dictatorial interests of Brussels, is UKIP (United Kingdom Independence Party.) We have several local branches, including the recently re-formed Fareham branch. For more information, please feel free to contact us.
