What a great leader David Cameron is proving to be

Driving to work this morning listening to the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 I felt in a euphoric mood at the news from Brussels.

What a great leader David Cameron is proving to be.

It would have been so easy to have gone along with the majority, to have fudged things, to have used the small print of various Treatys to bamboozle the people.

Instead he has looked at the Eurozone proposition and said "no thanks" and walked away.

The front page of the New York Times is describing this as a "defeat".  How little they know about the mood of the British people.  It is a great victory for the fundamental principles of freedom and democracy.

Inevitably a chorus has arisen warning of economic doom and gloom but personally I don't believe it.  And in any case, if a certain amount of economic difficulty is necessary then so be it ("we must go into the storm and through the storm").  Economic comforts bought at the price of the surrender of sovereighty and freedom are not worth having (as the members of the Eurozone will soon begin to realise).
