SIR - It has to be highly amusing that Councillor David Candler, who describes himself as a Labour supporter (February 11), claims that initiatives in the social field over the last 30 years are due to the EU.
If that is so, it simply demonstrates that his party which has been the Government for the last 10 years is either totally useless because it didn't introduce these initiatives itself, or felt that the initiative was wrong and therefore did not consider introducing them and wase forced to do so by the EU.
However, whichever way you look at it, if Coun Candler is right then it demonstrates that the EU runs this country and our Government is an irrelevancy.
I have to congratulate the councillor for putting his finger on the very point that I and others have tried to make - we no longer govern our own country.
MARK STARR, Leigh Sinton
