Equal rights
From Mrs Isla Atherley Sir: What on earth is the use of a Bill of Rights to protect us from too much interference by HMG so long as we remain subject to the overriding authority of the EEC institutions?
A national Bill of Rights would have no power whatever to restrict the centralised planning and control that will be exercised by the supranational European Parliament we are threatened with. Our only hope of less government, nationally and individually, lies in our thrusting off the bondage of the Rome Treaty.
Isla Atherley Hazel Cottage, Church Lane, Charlbury, Oxford Sir: Mr William Slater, referring to my piece 'Go forth and be equal', asks: 'How daft can this sex-equality business get?' My answer is we have yet to find out, but then sex discrimination used against females is daft. Who knows into what murky waters and what verbal fogs the backlash ma Y force us? Is any price too great to attain equality between the sexes? Greasy Joan has had enough of keeling the pot.
