EU pitfall for Blair

Sir: C Crofton-Sleigh seems to have superior knowledge to the rest of us (letter, 3 March). If people vote "no" to EMU in any referendum, it would apparently be because Mr Murdoch has wickedly seduced them.

Your correspondent then makes the glib statement that the UK's foreign policy is determined by the US. Not last time I looked it wasn't.

The EU is currently set on a common foreign and security policy. If one really wants to see the UK's foreign policy disappear then that is the way to do it. And voting for EMU would be voting for national suicide. And I have a brain to think with independently of Mr Murdoch.
