SIR - Jack Kinsman (Worcester News, March 18) advises another letter-writer to "swot up on Europe before he puts pen to paper again" because he "obviously doesn't have a clue about what is happening in Europe".

This advice is really rather odd coming from someone who claims in the same letter that MEPs get "£2,000 a year just for coffee". This is, of course, complete nonsense.

I suggest he comes over to the European Parliament and finds out the facts for himself before he peddles any further fantasies. I would be happy to show him round.

PHILIP BUSHILL-MATTHEWS MEP,

European Parliament, Brussels.
