YOUR correspondent D E Margrett boasts that the "big boys" are on his side in the debate about sterling, saying: "More than 300 international companies of great global significance, including Ford and Unilever, are known to favour British entry into the eurozone."

I'm surprised he doesn't keep quiet about this.The interests of the vast majority of the electorate are not the same as those of these predatory multi-nationals - or those of the EU-bureaucracy with which these corporations are in cahoots.

Most people are well aware that we need to defend our democracy, sovereignty, laws and customs against the whole, evil shower of them.

Margrett's is a very poor recommendation for surrendering our financial and fiscal (and, hence, our entire) independence to a pan-continental/global clique.

On the other hand, it's probably the best recommendation he can muster. There aren't any genuine good ones.
