SIR – Terry James (August 13) is correct in one way that other countries in Europe have benefitted from membership of the EU but he totally ignores the reason, which is that we have financed their growth by paying in huge sums of money into the EU coffers and have got the least amount back despite the fact we pay in after Germany, the largest amount per head.
We are financing France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Holland, Sweden and the rest of the EU whilst our transport system, NHS and schools all suffer from lack of investment.
Think what we could do if we adopted the UKIP’s policy of getting out of the EU and using the billions of pounds we pay to that organisation for our benefit and not theirs.
