Letter: Stop the Cheques

A DM branch organiser has a letter in the Daily Telegraph today on the theme of our Stop the Cheques campaign:

Dear Sir,

Patricia Hewitt is facing pressure from Labour MPs to help debt-ridden hospitals amid fear of a possible 24,000 job losses across the health service (News, April 10).

My solution is very simple. Currently, the net sum of taxpayers' money given to the budget of the European Union is £82 million each week, and next year this figure will rise to £134 million.

I propose withholding one month's payment to the European Union to save these job losses, without the need to raise taxes.

Harry Randall,
Cerne Abbas, Dorset
