EU: Pull The Plug

The only saving grace of today's EU crisis meeting was David Cameron's refusal to fall in line with Sarkozy & Merkel's plans to tax & spend to the detriment of the UK's financial services sector.
I honestly think it will make little or no difference to the end result in any case: The single currency is doomed to fail, as a cost that those responsible (Greece being the worst example) expect others to bear.

Now is the time to expose the Socialist dream of a United States of Europe for what it is: a massive experiment in social engineering with its precepts based on political ideology, rather than sound economic policies.
Cap that with the feeding trough that is the European Parliament, the bureaucratic monster that swallows billions every year producing ever more regulation & the sinister machinations of the unelected Commissioners & you have a nightmare to terrify anyone with the slightest idea of how an economy thrives.

It is way past time for the UK to cut our losses & leave this mess behind: Let's rekindle our connections to the Commonwealth & abandon any notion that France & Germany see us as anything but a source of finance for their mutual idiocracy.
It WONT destroy our economy, as we will STILL be selling to the European market but not quite as much. This will be more than offset by the savings from deregulation & INCREASED trade with Commonwealth nations with which we share a heritage & innately conservative outlook.
There are far more potential customers in the Commonwealth than in the EU & most of THEIR economies weathered the global recession far better than Europe.

The EU is dead. Let's take it back to what we joined in 1970; a Common Market, no more & no less.
