LETTER: The blame for football riot belongs to clubs, fans ... and MP's

From Mr Emil M. Janson

Sir: Although they don't realise it, the mindless thugs and morons take their cue from the behaviour and attitudes of many MPs in the House of Commons, who are still promoting the Little Englander view of life.

Their anti-European rhetoric encourages our fellow citizens to believe that in some warped way, they are still protecting "the empire".

The sooner this country becomes a willing, eager, central and positive force in Europe, the sooner the next generation will be fit to cope with the 21st century.

Sincerely,

EMIL M. JANSON
