IN REPLY to letters from D R Smith and R Prothero with reference to the Eurosceptics.

Many people like me fear the European Union and its hidden agenda.

The European Union is nothing more than a stepping stone to Orwell’s 1984. The political correctness makes people afraid to voice opinions and laws are passed and implemented behind closed doors by people most of us have never heard of.

Democracy is dying in Europe and people are detached from politicians and hidden people who rule them. Those who dig and find the truth soon learn that given the chance the EU will rule us as part of a ‘New World Order’ with the UN as a police force. Not for me thank you.
