Another of these letters which the Scottish press decide not to publish - either because it doesn't reach their demanding literary standards or because they censor, or perhaps for some wholly unknown reason:
Sir,
We now have confirmation from Mr Miliband, that Labour are committed to staying in the EU without even a referendum.

I remember back when Neil Kinnock became Labour leader. Then they were committed to leaving the EU, without even a referendum.
In the intervening period Mr Kinnock and indeed his entire family have moved on to many many lucrative EU jobs. They have moved seamlessly from "no Kinnock in 1,000 years has gone to university" to leading members of the new Euro-aristocracy. An aristocracy who regularly glory in the word "technocrat" though in fact very few of them have any sort of technical knowledge that would justify that term. China's rulers, for better or worse, almost all have degrees in engineering or accountancy whereas ours mainly seem to have studied Politics Philosophy & Economics (known as "the bluffer's degree").
What we have never seen is the massive open political debate within the Labour party that alone could justify this complete about face. The EU is the only world zone still in recession (the rest is growing at an average of nearly 6%). It has been calculated to cost our economy £170 billion. It means unlimited immigration from other member countries. If an "independent" Scotland were to join it on normal terms, since UK opt outs protect 2 million jobs, we would expect to lose 170,000. Yet none of this was seriously discussed as Labour reversed itself.
Apparently the only thing old Labour and new Labour have in common is that the common people will not be consulted by referendum.
