Dear Sir

Gibes about 'Little Englanders' and lofty rhetoric about a 'Europe of the Regions' will not convince many people in the UK to vote to stay in the EU. The issue will be decided on pocket book matters - how much is the EU increasing the average family's food bill (the CAP) , the amount and cost of regulation, the threat to the Thatcher negotiated annual rebate, our annual membership of the EU and how this could be better spent on public services.

Some people will vote on issues of Sovereignty and the EU's Direction of travel. Business will want to be assured that they can still trade with the EU though Lord Lawson has said that business has become too comfortable in the EU and they need to be looking at Asia for opportunities.

The parties in Gibraltar needing to be working out a Business plan for Gibraltar in and out of the EU. They should certainly approach the UK Government for financial assistance if they think that warranted. However, do not insult us with gibes about Little Englanders. I do not believe the vast majority of folks in Gibraltar would endorse that sort of language.

Yours Sincerely,
Allan Robertson

Dear Sir

Following up from a number of crime stories in the Telegraph today and in South London's New Shopper can I make a plea for MPs to return to more local issues, specifically crime. A street in Catford, South London has recently been driven collectively demented by an almost '24 hour rave' party. The rave should have been broken by the riot squad. This limp wristed response by the Police has got to end. The so-called rave should have been stopped in its tracks. Nothing appears to have been done and now it could happen again. The Telegraph highlighted the release of a murderer after 5 years who has now gone on a burglary spree. Please can we have another vote on the death penalty, an end to parole, an end to 50% remission and early release and back breaking work for prisoners.

Yours Sincerely
Allan Robertson
