Who needs the West End?

Sir , - I just wanted to write to say what a wonderful show Kirriemuir Amateur Operatic Society have put on this week with The Addams Family.

I went to the opening night and was thoroughly entertaine­d from start to finish.

Dundee, once a hive of industry, started to lose this to rationalis­ation, a process whereby Dundee firms of long standing were bought up by European firms and closed down and sent to England.

Now our once public power generating industries are European owned.

I cannot understand how this partnershi­p benefits us in any way, and as to it somehow avoiding wars, well, for that we’ve got Trident.
