I read all the recent articles regarding the EU and Immigration in response to Mr Edgerton’s and Emma Adam’s letters.

I for one most certainly wish to remain in the EU and to see the EU expand and increase its authority dramatically.

We have MPs who commit every conceivable vice, they steal, they commit fraud, they double deal and commit the most dreadful acts, but we are told ‘it is all within the rules’ as quite plainly they have no rules.

They are rewarded for their loyalty to the party with a seat in the house of lords. 

This is not for service they provide to their constituents it is for being yes men or women.

The previous MP for the borough was rewarded for her loyalty to the party with a seat in the Lords along with an obscene salary for her loyalty to the party and her loyalty to Prescott’s folly in attempting to place the borough in a Toll zone to curtail traffic congestion at great expense to the residents of Stretford.

I think she must have been one of the very few people in the borough to vote for the toll charge.

The government are only interested in London, it has become a city state. I work in the arts and 75 per cent of the arts budget is handed over to London, the remaining 25 per cent is handed out to the regions (as they refer to us).

The lottery money, which is supposedly for the benefit of all, is spent mostly in London and we get very little benefit, yet it is not government money and we put just as much into the lottery as everybody else.

If they are only interested in looking after themselves and London, let them have devolution and let the EU govern us. Brussels certainly can’t do any worse for us than these self-serving crooks.
