Quicker we are out of Europe, the better
Holdsworth Hall, Holdsworth Road Halifax
HOW nice to read Paul Campbell's letter in "Your say".
I have felt at times in recent years, when you have been kind enough to print several of my letters, that I was ploughing a lone furrow in my arguments against our membership of the EU. Like Mr Campbell when I voted for joining the EEC (as it was then) I was led to believe that we were joining what would eventually become a "free trade" area.
There was no mention of us joining a "United States of Europe" especially one where unelected bureaucrats lay down the rules and regulations.
This is the fourteenth year that auditors have refused to sign off the EU's accounts so just imagine the size of the fraud which has been and is continuing to be carried out. Even the toothless European Parliament plucked up the courage to remark that at the present rate of reform of account practices it will be 2020 before the auditors will sign off the accounts. Germany and we are the largest contributors to the EU budget so it is our money that is being misappropriated.
As always it is the Common Agricultural Policy budget that has the most irregularities. The EU is corrupt and inefficient so the quicker we are out of it the better off we shall be.
