IN response to the letter from Dr Peter Brickley December 20) concerning the need for a broader analysis from Mel Stride, I would like to add more information.

The present government is in favour of EU membership which costs us £50 million a day — '£50 million, the amount Chelsea paid for Fernando Torres, that is what we pay the EU, every day. The equivalent of over four times the yearly UK cost of the Afghanistan war, or 18 new type 45 frigates and not far short of the 2012 budget cost of UK industry, agriculture and training'.(quote from 'A Referendum Stitch- Up' by Nigel Farage).
