THE answer is simple to the questions and situation posed by Timothy Kirkhope MEP (Letters, August 10) and his statement and realisation of the loss of sovereignty and independence of Yorkshire and the UK.

He should tell Tony Blair, William Hague and the Conservative Party to embrace a policy which says emphatically NO to the Euro and to leave the EU at the earliest opportunity before we are swallowed up into the Federalist European Super-state. When will politicians stop waffling and put the interests of Britain before party politics and self interest.
