Dear Editor
Treasury figures released this month have shown that British taxpayers will pay an extra 1.1 billion pounds a year to the EU under the new budget deal negotiated by Tony Blair in December. The contribution means an extra 500 pounds from every British taxpayer - to quote the Daily Express , enough funds to build 20 hospitals a year.
The EU already inflates the cost of food imported into the UK adding at least £500 to the annual food bill of every British household
The excessive levels of regulations are strangling small businesses , we need the EU to be more flexible and democratic.
However the governments of the EU are working for greater centralisation , ignoring the results of the recent French and Dutch referendums.
This is an outrage to democracy and more people should speak out
