Letter: Tycoon vs the euro

Sir: Paul Sykes, the millionaire Eurosceptic, expresses his concern that the single currency will adversely affect miners in Barnsley and steelworkers in Sheffield ("Tycoon plans anti-euro campaign", 26 August).

Since when did a Conservative ever worry about the effect of an economic policy on these groups of people? Please, Mr Sykes, spare us your concern for the people your party did more to hurt than any change in a medium of exchange could possibly do.
