We are shackled to the Euro-corpse. Our trade with the rest of the world is growing again, but we have quite some way to go yet, before the utter disaster on the continent loses its power to hold us back.

The problem this country faces is not dogmatic austerity, it's dogmatic adherence to the failed European project.
Nice one, well said!
