LETTER: Maastricht Treaty
Many people will have forgotten that this treaty created the Euro, from which by some miracle, we managed to avoid involvement, yet nevertheless it has been downhill for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland since that time with much erosion of our independence.
It seems to me likely that Mr Maude now wears a Eurosceptic badge as he would a secondhand suit acquired from Oxfam because of the rising tide of support for UKIP. Such a suit would not fit well, would be shop soiled and would not be pleasing to the eye, just as his new-found belief does not look well in view of past history.

On September 5 there were ten by-elections held throughout the country and in those UKIP secured 22 per cent of the votes cast.
Mr Maude must be looking at Nemesis coming, just as he did on April 9, 1992 when he was defeated in North Warwickshire in the General Election held on that day, a mere nine weeks after he signed that fateful treaty document. This time however, Nemesis will be coming from Storrington.
