How do we save Europe

Well, we clearly need to. The hope of creating a trading block to compete with the US and Far East has been partly successful. With Britain no longer making anything of note, and reliant on the service industry. our ability to trade outwith such a structure has to be limited. But, and it's a big but, we are outwith the finance system, and gain nothing from our tendency to gold plate all EU legislation no matter how daft. The EU court of human rights is clearly bonkers, and we have as much to fear from uncontrolled EU immigration as that from outwith the EU. EU nationals have free access and can rapidly access all benefits and health care, usually at rates  that are unheard of in their home states. Is it any wonder we are seeing thousands of Eastern European health tourists. "Dave" has a tough time ahead, but if we are to stand apart from the Euro project, and economically we would seem to have to, then he needs to protect our financial sector (the only sector we have) and actually stepping away from the pointelss, expensive and devisive polices above and reconfiguring how much of the European project we actually wish to encompass, might be no bad thing. A referendum may in the end be necessary.
