SIR – So Tony Blair says we would lose our global leadership role if we leave the EU. Is that statement meant to be a joke?

How can we lead anything if we are ruled by those unselected clowns in Brussels?

Me thinks Mr Blair has got designs on becoming top dog in the EU. Why not? He can have a bash then at destroying a few more countries.

The rule of thumb when dealing with Mr Blair is to do the exact opposite of what he says.

Incidentally, Waterloo is not far from Brussels. It is time for Mr Cameron to put on his Wellington boots and explain to those clowns in Brussels what Waterloo was all about.
