Says Simon Heffer in the
Daily Mail: "For years
this paper â a lone voice in the wilderness â has warned that the imposition of a one-size-fits-all currency on Europe's disparate nations would eventually lead to rioting in the streets. And so, tragically, it has proved".
A lone voice? Yeah, right! The EU is a profoundly anti-democratic institution, says Heffer. Yet, despite this, the paper continued to support Britain's
continued membership of the EU. It also endorses bringing the countries of the Eurozone "under a single economic government, with more uniform tax and spending policies â almost certainly to be dictated by Germany".
Perversely, the
Daily Mail supports a referendum, but
will not support withdrawal. It will support renegotiation but
not withdrawal. It seems it will support anything but withdrawal from this "profoundly anti-democratic institution". This is a profoundly europhile newspaper which, when push comes to shove, will advocate continued membership of the EU.
