MIKE Biden writes nonsense in his letter on April 24.

Many people do not believe we are better off having signed up to the EEC as opposed to staying in the EFTA (European Free Trade Association).

It was not stagnating, as he puts it. We could have carried on trading within it, capitalising on it, and avoiding being subservient to this constitution, namely the EU.

As for the Ford dilemma, the works themselves paid tax to support an EU loan, to see their jobs lost to the Turks.

He tells us the EU has no defence capability. Is that why they are building a formidable EU army?

No, another misled member of the public, I’m afraid.

P. J. HOUSE, Eastleigh.
