TIM Bearder’s comments on how wonderful the EU is and how if the UK left it would go up in flames and revert back to the Dark Ages gave me a chuckle (November 13).

As a Liberal Democrat Mr Bearder is commanded by his masters to say how wonderful the EU is. If the EU is so wonderful, how is it that unemployment in the EuroZone is double compared to that in the UK?

Booming Germany has designed the EuroZone system to be of advantage to Germany and to the disadvantage of the other EuroZone countries. As for Mr Bearder’s comments asserting we can reform the EU – we cannot, we would be outvoted every time.
