Amen to that! First we had 'little Englanders' and now we have 'little Netherlanders' and even a new Euro-Sceptic party in Germany. I'm just hoping that one day the Euro delusion which drove us to the brink will be seen as some form of contagious madness which was allowed to get out of control before a cure was found. There's never been any real reason why the EU couldn't have enjoyed all the trade, cultural and other benefits of such a club without being coerced into monetary then political union.
Of course there are an awful lot of powerful people with vested interests in perpetuating the Euro gravy train and their egos are not going to take kindly to having their bloated, self obsessed, empire slowly dismantled around them. Roll on the day...
