We Can Do These Things for Ourselves

Sir
You report (1st January) that South Downs businesses are about to receive "a slice of a one million euro fund" to be used to develop sustainable tourism.
You omit to mention that this is British taxpayers' money in the first place, and that the funds come with strings imposed by Brussels.
May I remind readers that, as a sovereign independent nation, we could perfectly well invest in, and manage, these things for ourselves - and without the strings.
