IT WAS brave of PM David Cameron to give the V sign to Europe. He has shown some true leadership at last.

The eurozone is a sinking ship and frankly we are better off out of the vessel.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy only want us on board their sinking ship in order to exploit our financial services with a transaction tax to bail them out. Sarkozy is two-faced and was really underhand towards our last Prime Minister. He is not to be trusted.

We are better off trading with China as it has not signed up to the loss-making Kyoto protocol and therefore will be able to grow its economy, unlike Europe which has committed itself to this ridiculous treaty.
