Lisbon treaty is a step too far

PJ McELHONE (Letters, April 7) rightly points out the historical benefits of the EU to this country.

Unfortunately, he fails to appreciate that the nature of the beast has now changed. And will change further, irrevocably and for the worse, if people vote ‘yes’ in the Lisbon treaty referendum.

The Lisbon treaty makes provision for further privatisation of health services. It is a charter for those who want to profit from sickness and adversity.
