Letters
Ruling our country
Sir - Firstly, is it any wonder that flooding continues to be a problem when there is not one statutory body responsible for this matter; a fact confirmed in an e-mail to me, dated January 8, 2008, by DEFRA.
It illustrates what is, I believe, one of the basic facts of life, namely the more the bureaucrats, the more the confusion, and the more the inaction.
On the subject of Post Office closures, the only point in the letter (March 19) from Jon McKenney with which I disagree is that contained in the final paragraph.The key to our being able to keep post offices open is not to maintain pressure on our leaders in Brussels', but to regain the right to decide how we, in this country, wish to be governed.
On both matters, and believe me there are numerous others, if we wish to decide our own future, both nationally and locally, it is necessary for this country to divorce' itself from the political constraints imposed on us by our membership of the European Union and the resultant regulations, made by the ruling elite' of that body, who are neither elected by us nor are accountable to us.
