The Bulldog is Top Dog



Have a look at this excellent piece in today's Sunday Times dealing largely with Britain's economic vigour. David Smith presents an impressive stream of statistics which not only pours cold water on the need to use France and Germany as economic role models, but vindicates the position of we Euro-sceptics on the viability of a complete withdrawal. Smith correctly mentions America and the Orient as places where the real economic resurgence will occur over the next half-century. The EU, by comparison, is facing a downturn spurred on by unfavourable demographics and burdensome industrial directives. Methinks we should change the EU anthem from 'Ode to Joy' to Merle Haggard's 'Misery and Gin'.
