Letter: Tories want United States of Europe
There must be thousands of people who, like myself, are Conservatives but when it came time to cast our votes for the party's candidate at the recent general election, as unfortunately in many constituencies there were no anti-European candidates, decided to spoil the ballot paper or did not vote.
It was a bitter chalice as one wished to stop the socialist parties from winning, yet not support those Conservative candidates who are betraying our interests and will continue to sell our sovereignty to the Godless European Union.

David Cameron's agenda is similar to that of the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats. It is not economic, it is political, and the goal is to create the United States of Europe. He has said very little on the various Brussels edicts since he became leader of the party.
David Cameron wishes to destroy traditional values and a Christian ethos that shaped the British people over centuries, and in common with Gordon Brown and Nick Clegg wants to establish a new society that continues to reward the growing numbers of unwed and single mothers with handsome benefits, more liberal abortion laws and make same sex marriage legal, thus destroying the essential ingredients that stabilise a country: marriage and the family.

Contrary to your correspondent's views ("Majority do not support Warner", Debate, 9 May), I thought Gerald Warner's article ("Vichy Tories denounce the last Conservative worth his deposit", Insight, 2 May) was excellent.
I find Warner's articles very interesting with up to the minute views on current issues, but every now and again he excels himself. This was one such occasion. I found it a breath of fresh air. At last, someone has stopped ducking and diving and spoke in a clear voice. Democracy and freedom of personal opinion is, or should be, paramount in any country that calls itself democratic.
Your correspondent seems to be in the same frame of mind as a small vocal group that seem to think that the removal of Section 2a of Clause 28 also removed people's right to have a different opinion and the right to air that opinion. I never cease to be amazed at their arrogance.
However, since your correspondent likes to quote figures, let me remind him that 89 per cent of Scots opposed the removal of Section 2a of Clause 28.
I wonder what the percentage would be if they knew what was happening in schools now.
Just for the record, I totally agree with Gerald Warner.
