Letter: We were right over not joining the euro

Letter: Those of us who have consistently opposed Britain's membership of the single currency (the euro) have had to endure many insults.

The fact remains that we have been proved right over the issue.

Even the man, who at the time of our unceremonious exit from the disastrous Exchange Rate Mechanism was a special advisor to the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, appears at last to agree with us as he has recently gone on record saying that "he was thankful that Britain had not joined the euro".

That man is now, of course, our Prime Minister.

He won't thank me for saying this but, just as he was wrong about the euro so he will be proved wrong about his obsession to remain a member of the European Union no matter what the cost to British taxpayers, British industry, British jobs and not least the individual liberty of British subjects.

How long before David Cameron reaches the inevitable conclusion that so many of his voters have already reached which is that we would be "better off out"?
