Don't bank on it

Sir: According to the Sunday Telegraph (1 December) 'pro-European feeling is espe- cially strong among banks'. They would `feel' thus, wouldn't they? However, their record in recent years does not inspire me with much confidence, and I most certainly would not accept their advice on such an important matter.

In my opinion, there are more important considerations in the life of a nation than the convenience of its bankers, industrial- ists, tourists and others.

I did not spend part of my youth getting shot at in defence of my country's freedoms to be denied a voice in its future by those who have managed to clamber to the top of their respective corporate trees.
