EU Costing us £40bn a Year
by George Pascoe-Watson

Britain could save up to £40 billion a year - or 14p off income tax - by quitting the European Union, a study reveals today.

Costly payments to EU funds coupled with the drain on business through red tape would go at a stroke. Experts used the Government's own figures to show how the UK would benefit from striking a trade-only deal with Brussels.

And think-tank Civitas slams Tony Blair's repeated claims that Britain would lose 60 per cent of its trade and three million jobs.

The bombshell for the PM comes just after he buried the hatchet with Gerhard Schroeder yesterday following a bitter row over who leads Europe. He welcomed the German Chancellor to No 10 for talks and they were all smiles.

EU is Exclusive Club

SIR - I object to Denis MacShane's statement that euroscepticism is xenophobic (report, Aug 7). Far from it. What I object to about the European Union is that it is itself overtly xenophobic, a closed-bordered Caucasian club looking to create confrontation in trade talks with the rest of the world, where we used to just get on with it to the betterment of all. The EU is intentionally deeply damaging to other places. Africa, for instance, wants to trade more with Europe but finds itself discriminated against by the EU. Not by Britain, nor by France nor by Russia or Portugal, but by the EU. This is wrong; different areas of the world are different, not inferior.

The European dream might have seemed rosy 50 years ago to generations who turned my home continent into one big bomb site, but to me it is an unrequired exclusive club, an extension of the political élitism that caused two world wars in one century.
