A typical politician, Chris Huhne, Liberal Democrat MEP for South East England, slams the EU economy (The Argus, August 2) but wins the debate on the euro (The Argus, April 24).
First, he highlights ten new states joining will add nine new official EU languages and more than £250 million per annum to the translation budget.
You cannot pass laws in languages people do not understand.
Secondly, the European Commission seems unwilling to accept the democratic criticism necessary to implement a leaked report expressing concern over the EU's increasingly creative accounting - similar to global corporatives.
Not a penny more of UK taxpayers' money should be thrown into the EU's unaccountable coffers.
It is noticeable the European Parliament building in Strasbourg was designed to depict Pieter Brueghel's famous 16th-Century painting of the Tower of Babel.
