SIR – I wonder how many readers heard the response that Prime Minister David Cameron gave in Parliament, when an MP asked why the Air Ambulance has to pay VAT on its fuel, but lifeboats don’t?

David Cameron merely replied that it was because of a European Union ruling. There should then have been uproar in the House about how the British Government meekly kowtows to Brussels, but of course there wasn’t.

How woefully pathetic our Parliament has become. Shame on all MPs.

But they are now just automatons so conditioned by the system that they fail to spot the outrageous injustice in all of this.

They are meant to represent the voters who put them there, but, instead, they do what they are told by the likes of Blair, Brown and Cameron. They actually gave up representing the wishes of the British people in 1972.

That is why UKIP fights the three main parties. We will keep fighting them until we get our national sovereignty back so that we can, once again, be ruled by a properly accountable Parliament in Westminster – and let the Air Ambulance off VAT on its fuel.
