COUNTRIES throughout the EU all are scrapping their national coinage. I wondered who was paying and according to a Sunday paper it appears we are.

So far it has cost us £6bn, and that's to pay for the other members to change over to the euro!

Of that sum, most has paid for converting their cash points and slot machines. We are also having to shell out another £35m for Government TV advertising.

We really must vote this Labour Party out. We cannot trust them to protect all we have fought for in the last two wars. They are selling us down the river.
