SIR – Regarding John Shearon’s letter ‘Brown is the ideal man for the job’ (August 15). Gordon Brown will be known for all time as the (Scottish) politician who finally destroyed England and the United Kingdom. He won’t honour the referendum promised over Europe. Labour has lied over Europe’s constitution and Scotland is now hurtling towards independence.

Gordon Brown has basked in economic growth built on the immigration of millions, which drove house prices beyond the means of many. With our banking industry foolishly grabbing profits in America’s sub-prime market, the inevitable collapse of our housing sector triggered the current economic crisis.

Millions have now been criminalised by Labour’s money-making mafias – speed cameras, wheelie bin police and parking cameras.

Freedom has been destroyed. We are watched everywhere we go. Our phone calls and internet use are recorded, monitored and listed. Any local bureaucrat will be able to call up our records and see who we communicated with and when. Identity cards are becoming universal via driving licences, bus passes and all the impedimenta of an uneleceted and allpowerful European state.

Gordon Brown is a turkey about to collide with Christmas while hundreds of Labour MPs get the noble order of the boot. They richly deserve it.

N TAYLOR,

Worcester.
