MR Showell is quite right (You Say, October 16). The EU is costing us billions of pounds.

You don't have to be a chartered accountant to work out that over the 27 years we have been associated with the EU, we could have rebuilt the railways, schools, hospitals, and done something about the roads, as well.

The UK Independence Party is the only party that wants to keep the pound and leave the EU.
