It feels good to be a little Englander
9:20am Thursday 21st August 2008
SIR – While being quite proud to be a Little Englander/Eurosceptic/ anti-Europe fanatic, as labelled by Councillor David Candler and Terry James, Drakes Broughton, I would be devastated to be labelled a New Labour politically brainwashed Europhile.
However, MP Peter Luff is not brave. He is among other Tories, such as Ken Clarke and Michael Heseltine who hunger to get their noses into the money trough in Europe.
Ireland for example, has probably had millions paid by England, which also continues to donate millions in surplus to Brussels daily. Now Ireland’s unemployment numbers are beginning to rise and it has raging inflation that it just cannot control because of EU rules.
So, in recognising that New Labour has no allegiance to England with its crazy openborder policies and habit of selling off our assets to the Europeans, and though I am deeply concerned, it does actually feel quite good to be a little Englander.
BRIAN HUNT,
Worcester.

What a surprise that Irish Welsh and Scottish people get their own assemblies and a better deal from Brussels and Westminster...and favourable treatment in the Media....while we English get ridiculed as small minded morris dancing idiots for wanting equality with the others.I wonder why?
Well I know why ....we are the most stupid gullible half soaked spineless bunch of wet lettuces on the face of the planet!

Maybe we shall learn from this lesson?
They have ALL "taken the Brussels Shilling" and when they realise the grass is not greener, we shall then have to sort out the mess - or our children will.
The irony is, we have stood by and watched it happen!
Please add me to your list of Little Englanders!

I think it just means that Germans are either as pathetic or powerless as us.
We are not free to join America or leave the EU and there`s no electable party able to provide us with that democratic option...while the all important medias influence is solidly pro EU.
But there is one chink of light.We now have the internet and I have great fun on the EU`s own debating form letting rip about our pitiful situation here in the UK.
And it`s interesting to see how real public opinion in the forum can be at variance with the tripe we are fed by the media and our joke politicians.
Somehow I can`t imagine Paul Griffiths getting an easy ride on them!
