Udate: Time for David Cameron to change
It is good to see that the UK is at least going to take part in “technical discussions” over the proposed EU fiscal pact (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-16209414).

Update: The United Kingdom and the Eurozone crisis
David Cameron’s threat today to veto any new EU treaty (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-16048131) confirms the worst. Of course he is right to defend the United Kingdom’s interests and not to sign any treaty that does not accord with our interests (although as … Continue reading

The United Kingdom and the Eurozone crisis
