Cameron's last gasp, spreadeagled on the EU canvas

EU: 26, Britain: 0

As ever, instead of working WITH Europe, like all the other EU states
manage to do quite successfully, especially in the cases of France and
Germany, both of which are ahead of Britain in coming out of the
recession, Cameron tries to pretend that Britain is still a Famous
Empire with a proud lion that refuses to be part of the club it agreed
to join.

The Tories huff and puff about how they're going to re-negotiate
Britain's role in the EU. They're beginning to sound shrill while the
rest of Europe looks heavenwards and groans in exasperation. The
French bloke is quite right when he uses autism and castration as
analogies. If we carry on like we are at present, given that everyone
assumes the Tories will form the next government, we will make
ourselves look even more like a laughing stock than we already are in
our wonky "credit crunch" democracy with its surveillance society
without equal.

Today we learn that the BoE plans to inject ANOTHER x billions into
quantitative easing, because the last lot didn't help Britain out of
the financial mire. At this rate we will trail the rest of Europe in
emerging from recession while saddled with the biggest debt burden -
and this country has the audacity to tell the EU where it's going
wrong!

The only correct approach is for Britain to become successful again,
not just whinge from the periphery while the country goes to the dogs,
is overwhelmed with immigration and unemployment, has little
manufacturing capacity and has a massive debt like a millstone around
its neck for the next two generations. And the only way to become
successful is to make things that the world wants to buy more than
from anyone else. We have nothing to sell that we can simply dig from
the ground, therefore we can only make money by manufacturing goods
and selling them instead. Relying on the City to make our money is
like an inveterate gambler who always believes he's going to win in
the end.

Manufacturing is what Cameron should be concentrating on, not another
feeble flurry of jingoism in the vain hope that Europe is suddenly
going to prostrate itself at Dover. The French are dead right to come
out and say, for fuck's sake, go to your room and STFU for five
minutes!
