The monster on the doorstep
It cannot be right to support the emergence of a European superstate that would probably be autocratic in nature. More than 400 years of British foreign policy has been spent trying to prevent the creation of such a monster on our doorstep. Is this tradition so lightly to be betrayed? Yet, through the IMF, we seem, ineptly, to be pursuing just such a strategy. If further IMF support for Europe is counterproductive, high-risk and contrary to the long-term national interest, why are we doing it?

Drake harried the Spanish Armada until it drowned off the northern coasts, Wellington pursued Napoleon's Grande Armee through Spain and found it at Waterloo, Hitler launched a pulverizing aerial barrage and ended in his own ruined capitol. The question is not so much, what will Britain do, but why--Who are the Brits now and who are these people acting in their name?
