""My View by om Newton Dunn, Sun Political Editor:

"DON'T be fooled. David Cameron is no Winston Churchill, and this was not his D-Day.

That victory cigar he tried to chomp on the Eurostar choked him, and the bowler hat and dickie didn't fit.

Let's be honest, the only reason our petrified PM pulled the veto was because he had to.

Eurosceptic Tory ministers and MPs made it clear they wouldn't allow the stitch-up treaty through the Commons.

They would have brought down Desperate Dave before giving way over their referendum call.

Cameron won, but he also lost too, because he came home without any safeguards for the City at all.

With the EU now riddled with paper-thin promises, indecision and rancour, we may be even further away from a euro solution.

Rejoice? Hardly.""

Look at the reason why Cameron voted no. He wanted guarantees for London’s financial industry. This is no defence of competition and capitalism.

Well, that is how democracy is supposed to work when 66% of hour people want out of the EU completely. Democracy doesnt entail going against your people to sign treaties that trash your constitution.

“He likened Mr Cameron to “a man who wants to go to a wife-swapping party without taking his own wife”. “

Live it to the French to come up with an analogy like THAT.

We have seen France and Britain vs Germany: WW2, WW1

We have seen Britain and Germany vs France: Napoleonic Wars, 7 Years’ War, and the War of the Spanish Succesion

We haven’t had France and Germany vs Britain yet

Not sure about all the economics or politics of this, but I wouldn’t touch the EU with a 10 foot Pole.
