SIR – At the present time in the currency exchange markets the pound is continually weakening against the American dollar while the dollar is weakening against the Euro.

There can be no doubt that, in order to have a healthy economy, the UK will inevitably have to join the euro system sooner or later. We should have joined at the outset.

People will have to accept this situation – even those who are prepared to violate the sanctity of the war memorial by using it to propagate party political views of the most virulent and obnoxious kind.
