Sir, – With perhaps weeks or less remaining before Götterdämmerung, we should surely ask ourselves some fundamental questions. 1. Is it now, or will it be in our best interests to remain within the euro zone? 2. What if any, are this country’s available alternatives? 3. Should we be “Closer to Boston than Berlin”? 4. How advisable or easy would it be to re-enter the Sterling area?

This is an unprecedented situation mainly because our European masters cannot seem to agree on a realistic strategy to save the euro. In such a circumstance, our Government must act quickly to protect us all, particularly elderly savers, from financial catastrophe. – Yours, etc,
