Much as I dislike Cameron I have to admit he did the right thing last night in not caveing in to the demands of the Euro countries dominated by Sarkozy and Merkel.
It means that he has protected an important part of our economy, the City of London which will help our future problems.
BUT Why has he stood his ground on this issue and this issue alone?
Why is banking so much more important than manufacturing industry to Cameron?
Simples. Because the bankers of the City of London finance the Tory Party and all Cameron's Eton friends "work" in the City.
I accept in the present situation the London Banking business is of great importance to our country, but so were other industries which were allowed to wither on the vine, indeed were in some cases sold off to foreign owners while Cameron's friends made their cut in the City.
I am pleased that we are somewhat separate from Europe because of Cameron's stance but it should not end there.
There are many rules eminating from the EU which are not covered by his decision and which surely need to be taken back to British sovereignty.
The people voted for a "Common Market" not rule by Europe.
It is said that we will have to re negotiate these rules which we did not vote for.
NO
It is quite simple. We should take our democratic rights back unilaterally. Europe needs us more than we need them. We have a balance of trade deficit with Europe and if they imposed sanctions we could boycott their goods.
We are the customers and they must consider us. We have the clout.
But the main reason is that the Euro is a failed concept and will collapse soon so we are better out of it.
We should have the referendum Cameron promised.
Why will he not give it to us?
If he believes in democracy we should have it, but he won't give it to us because he knows the people want out.
He thinks he knows better than the people.
He may do but I doubt it.
Maybe we will make mistakes but they will be our mistakes and we will succeed or fail by them.
BUT IT WILL BE OUR CHOICE.
THAT IS WHAT DEMOCRACY IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT, ISN'T IT?
AND LET THE EURO SINK WITH THE TITANIC, WHILE WE REMAIN IN THE LIFEBOATS.
