WELL who would have thought it, David Cameron does have a backbone. It’s about time someone stood up to the EU and said no. The thing I find disappointing is the negative response he has received from his spineless coalition partners and the leader of the Labour party.

I can only assume the Lib Dems and Labour would have rolled over and given away even more control to the EU. I’m sure the British people are behind Mr Cameron on his stance against the proposed changes, and hope this is the thin edge of the wedge that moves us further away from EU dominance. The other up side is the diminishing chance of ever having the cursed euro in Britain.
