I seem to have stirred up a hornets nest of opposition to my suggestion that The EU, (Southern Europe as it stands today) is to blame for what is happening in Eastern Europe (Ukraine at the moment).

These Europhile protesters are seemingly blind as to what this open border policy is causing not only in the UK but also many other EU member countries (Germany, France, Spain etc) and how much of our cash is being ploughed into other member countries to keep us all from going under.

Self-confessed migrant Albert-Lauritz Rasmussen (In my view, May 18, 2013), in his haste to vilify me (Letters, March 15) has in fact compounded my argument in pointing out that Ukraine was actually a Soviet Socialist Republic and part of the Russian Empire, so it doesn’t surprise me that the Russians have stepped in to prevent us pinching a large slice of their country as we did with their ex-satellite countries Lithuania and Latvia.

Hitler tried that in 1941; he also tried to make the whole of Europe one large country ruled from Berlin (similar to how it is now ruled by the bureaucrats in Brussels).

He tells me it is ludicrous to believe the EU inspires peoples from other countries to invade (yes I’m sticking to that word) or settle in other countries, which prompts me to inquire what prompted him to settle in Britain, an already overcrowded country.

He’ll probably tell me, “that’s his business”, and so it is! He also points out that we are an island nation and that we should continue to build bridges.

It was the very lack of bridges that kept this country from being swallowed up into the “Third Reich”. Yes, I am sounding warlike and I apologise but I dislike pacifists on such points.

These pro-EU fanatics may well boast of the peace it has allegedly kept in Europe, (casting Ukraine to one side for the moment), but they fail to recognise the silent war going on beneath the surface while we drag on in a seemingly endless recession while at the same time our weak puppet government continues throwing billions of pounds of British cash into the EU to keep it (and its currency) afloat.

Maybe we should scrap our present national anthem for the time being and adopt that old Humperdinck song Please Release Me, Let Me Go!
