The people of Denmark have said "no" to the euro. This is not only good for Denmark but, as many of your readers will agree, a shot in the arm for all those in the UK and Europe who oppose the surrender of their own independence and democracy.

But it is not only the currency that matters. Other very important matters are being discussed this autumn in Europe. They will come before the decision-making European Council in Nice this December.

The big decisions to be taken there include the further extension of majority voting, the removal of the veto on the "vanguard" states who want full-blooded integration in the Union, and the adoption of the so-called European Charter of Fundamental Rights, which will further subject British law and our courts of law to the rulings of European institutions.

What can be done? As the Danes have shown, much more than most people think.

First, every elector has the right and now the duty to demand of their MPs that they will not allow the Prime Minister and his Ministers to further surrender the power of the British people to European agencies.

Secondly, whenever the BBC's News and Current Affairs programmes broadcast, contrary to their Charter obligations, one-sided Europhile programmes, directly or indirectly advocating that we abandon our own currency, change our own laws and enmesh ourselves in the "ever closer union", write in protest to the BBC chairman and governors, with copies to their MP and to the editor of the Evening Advertiser.

And last but not least and in particular those electors who are members and supporters of the Labour party join us, the Labour Euro-Safeguards Campaign, in our fight to preserve the democracy and independence of this country.
