Anna CrosbieTHE proposed EU Constitution and the euro are being made easier to understand in a new guidebook published by a woman from Westbury.

Anna Crosbie, 35, has released a new book, Britain's Hot Potato! A Boiled Down Guide To The European Union, after discovering many of her friends knew little about the EU.

Ms Crosbie, who was born in New Zealand but has lived in England for 12 years and is currently Westbury's town centre development manager, said: "We need to be told more bare facts stripped of political hysteria so we can form our own opinions as to whether the EU is a good thing or not for Britain.

"There is a need for a simple, impartial book, written in a style that makes the EU more accessible and interesting to the general public."

The release of the book coincided with the European Parliamentary Elections held across the country yesterday.
