Is the "Rest of Europe" the European Union or the rest of the continent? The EU is a block of 15 nations — about half of the countries in Europe. It is an insult to confuse the free nations of Europe with those shackled to the politically undemocratic and bureaucratic Brussels regime. Derek Norman, Huntingdon, Cambs.

Killing animals in drug testing is scientifically unsound. Results differ between species — hence the numjtous human tragedies and drugs withdrawn. Thjte is no distinction. The exploitation of these animals is to benefit industry, not humans.

Two of them — the UN and Nato — have indeed treated us well and kept peace in Western Europe. However, the EC and the EU are trouble- making, bureaucratic and useless, and Britain should bj rid of both of them as soon as possible.

Perhaps negotiators for benefits claimants should walk out of evjty discussion shouting "No surrender!" It seems to work there.

It all started with Little Computer People way back in the mid-1980s, when microscopic cartoon characters took up residence in Commodore Amigas. "Toybots" are taking the place of the family pet. This is very dangerous, as they can njvjr reciprocate real love and loyalty. Michael Randy, Cardiff Headlines 101 Extra 102 Sport 300 Features 540 TV 600 Weather 400 Quotes Index News Xtta Main menu
