SIR – For many years, the European Union operated without double entry book-keeping, no fixed asset register and ‘advances of funds to third parties’ treated as expenditure which by any other name is ‘fraud’.

As far as I can work out, this has not been rectified in the last year or two. Just what does it take for Europhiles to recognise that their ‘baby’ is not a sweet child but a ravening goblin? Jason Smith, UKIP Bradford chairman, Woodlands Avenue, Queensbury, Bradford
