Sir: I wonder if any others of your readers who
went into Europe' by way of Normandy in 1944 are as maddened as I am to see and hear this term deceitfully used by the pro-Marketeers to 'sell' the EEC?
As a former 'Naval person' 1 was sickened by the nauseating spectacle enacted beneath Nelson's Column — of all places! — last Sunday. The Week-end Sailor, responsible not only for dragging us into the wretched EEC against our will but also, with his administration, responsible for much of our present economic and political ills, made Mike Yarwood look second rate by his performance. And this a man so recently rejected both by the country and his own party; how tough-skinned these politicians are! How dare this man suggest that anti-Marketeers are Reds and Marxists. He had but to look down from where he spoke in Trafalgar Square to see the banner behind the one held aloft by the Young Conservatives, a red banner proclaiming "Communism for Europe!" Does he remember his own visit to China when Chairman Mao was reported as saying that it would be wonderful for Communism if we were taken over by the EEC? His suggestion in an article on a Sunday newspaper two weeks ago that a 'no' Vote would mean a Russian take-over is contemptible.
Many leading pro-Marketeers including many MPs have declared themselves unequivocally opposed to a Federated Europe and yet the proclaimed aim of the Eurofanatics in Brussels is undoubtedly this, Surely they must realise that it will be much harder, if not impossible for our country to extricate itself from the EEC, clutches after the present transitional period ends and we are fully 'taken over.'
