I was somewhat confused and alarmed by Arthur’s Grove’s letter in the WMN from 6 February (see below), which suggests that the vast majority of our MPs in Westminster should be made redundant. For a UKIP member to come out with such a statement strikes me as odd to say the least. Furthermore, the case he builds up against the EU is fundamentally flawed. *************
With regard to Eric Sheppard's letter of January 22 about redundant MPs, I have noticed recently that increasing numbers of people are questioning the need to keep so many MPs at Westminster while at least 70 per cent of laws and directives controlling our lives come from decisions made in Brussels.On reading the excellent book by Richard North and Christopher Booker entitled The Great Deception - not matters of opinion, but historical facts researched in great depth and detail - I was both appalled and furious to learn of the devious methods and complete indifference to the masses shown by the architects of the European Union project. For example the people must be taken in by gradual stages so that they do not realise what is happening to them, and for some years National Parliaments would be left in being in order to lull the populace into thinking they are being governed by those elected to national Parliaments. The corrupt, wasteful system created is therefore in parallel with the devious methods of its creators. It is logical, therefore, to demand a larger reduction in the number of MPs; only a small number are now required to implement EU decisions, As Eric Sheppard states, "make the remainder redundant as they are now surplus to requirements". It is a situation of their own making, brought about by pursuing EU involvement and surrendering our once self-governing democracy, something which belongs to all of us, and is not for the politicians to give away. It is said that the pen is mightier than the sword, and this is shown to be correct. Our political class have undermined our identity and national pride by signing with the pen that which Hitler and other dictators could not achieve with the sword. I have just read Anthony Steen's comments about inadequate allowances for MPs. I suggest therefore that, as a representative of the Tory Party that has been responsible for surrendering more of British self-government to the EU than any other, from Heath to John Major, if he is not satisfied he should place himself among those who have made themselves redundant through EU involvement.
