SIR – The EU has in the past stopped at nothing to try to get the people of Britain to change their identity and lose their history.

Now it looks like all babies born in the UK will have their birth cetificates stamped with a EU flag rather than the traditional royal crest.

Eric Pickles, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, has said “there is little he could do to stop this”.

The dreaded 12-star flag has already crept on to our driving licences and this latest idea is a blatant plan to shackle us as one big happy family, from birth to death, as it starts interfering in people’s births, deaths and marriages.

A referendum cannot come a day soon enough, so that we can rid ourselves of this lifelong sentence and regain our British identity again.
