Letter: In Brief

Sir: Nothing illustrates more clearly the impotence of the European Parliament than the whingeing "it's not our fault but we always get the blame" letter (20 July) from Terry Wynn MEP. If MEPs cannot influence the wasteful expenditure of our taxes on an unnecessary building in Strasbourg, what chance have they of influencing decisions of the European Commission? For the sake of our economy, our pride and, most importantly, our freedom, we must withdraw from the EU.
