LIBERAL MEP Chris Davies (Letters, February 17) claims that the euro is the only way to go. This is a lie for a start.

Britain trades with the world and can still trade with Europe outside the Euro union. Only foolish people would want to be part of a Euro union controlled by unelected commissioners.

The truth is that Britain doesn't need a European parliament or MEPs. Euro union is a political con trick to form a United States of Europe and destroy nations in the process.

Mr Davies talks of xenophobic and crude nationalistic propaganda. Most people can distinguish between fact and fiction - that is why there are so many anti-Euro union supporters.
