David Cameron has refused to join an EU financial crisis accord after 10 hours of negotiations in Brussels. Efforts to reach an accord of all 27 member states have been abandoned but will continue with the 17 euro zone members and six others. Mr Cameron said it was not in Britain's interest "So I didn't sign up to it". It was a tough decision but the right one," he said at a press conference. But the French president said his "unacceptable" demands for exemptions over financial services blocked the chance of a full treaty.

 

Don't be fooled in to thinking he's done this for the UK itself - he's done this only because the people at risk of being harmed by the treaty are his fellow elites. The self interest of the privileged is wrapped within the nationalistic wrapper of populism. The guy really should be writing headlines for the tabloids not running the country. The whole sorry financial mess can only deteriorate further with Britain marginalised on the outer regions further from the sphere of influence. Thanks Dave.
