I READ the contradicting letter from Martin Kyrle on April 8.

He seems to condemn communism and supports the efforts of Hungary and the Eastern European countries and gaining freedom from this Soviet Block, which was commendable.

He obviously does not realise he is supporting the same undemocratic forces within the EU, because their aim is to create a Soviet style Federal Europe.

There is no difference fundamentally, in this ever salami-slicing by the EU, to deprive us of future freedom. Remember, by slicing a piece off gradually, the British public won’t realise what they have lost until it’s too late!
