IN his letter last week Richard Acland was spot on when he said the people of the Forest of Dean would decide who represents them at the polling station.

As for Mark Parry moving from bully boys to tyranny, no one needs reminding of the huge losses in both world wars. That is why many wear poppies and attend Remembrance Day services.

He obviously approves of the fact that we are currently embroiled with a bully boy organisation called the EU which only Frank Sinatra and his "friends" could have dreamt up.

Deeper and deeper into the dark world of deception, euphemistically described as EU regulation, the United States of Europe have secretly developed their own surveillance drones, just like the other United States.

A civil liberties watchdog found that more than £320 million has been spent on the development without any democratic consultation of MPs or MEPs.

It is estimated that UK taxpayers will have contributed £46 million to this EU technocratic process although the numbers could be much higher due to the historical difficulties with EU accounting.

The EU reportedly wasted almost £6 billion in 2012 including £800 million from British taxpayers. Almost five per cent of the EU budget for 2012 was misspent – Brussels calls it the 'error rate' – resulting in the European Court auditors refusing to clear the accounts for the 19th year in a row.

The other, dark surreptitious plan is to fit 'remote stopping' devices to all our cars. Wouldn't it be great if a think tank could fit these devices to the unthinking Eurocrats?

We could just press the button, vote at a referendum and resume a normal life in British Summer Time
