"Mr President, last week, the French Prime Minister came to London and said that we needed to join in the project of assisting the euro. Let us leave aside for a moment the question of whether we should again be dragged into somebody else’s problem; let us focus instead on the main logical flaw here. He says ‘European integration is not working, so let us have more European integration!’ I am sure that you can spot the problem in his reasoning here. ‘My dinghy keeps capsizing, so I would like to be put in charge of an ocean liner’. ‘My go-kart has crashed, so please put me at the wheel of an articulated lorry’. It seems that whatever the problem is, the answer is always closer European integration.
The EU is a solution in search of a problem, but surely the day is coming when we can no longer impose ourselves both on the markets and on public opinion. The spell is breaking and the shamanistic incantations are losing their force."@en1
