The following are the views of a writer, journalist and artist who forged a career out of travelling the world and covering the odd and unusual before spending a quarter of a century on the inside of international banking in the City of London. http://www.magichelix.com/contact.htm

DAVID CAMERON PUSHES US CLOSE TO EUROGEDON
Our Prime Minister has caved in to backbenchers and those nostalgic Britons who long
to be a great power again and don't mind getting there by driving working people into poverty. William Hague displays his own
particular delirium by suggesting that we can replace Europe as an export market by competing in places like Latin America. Yeah
right, lets compete with the working conditions and human rights of China and Korea while we're at it. It is an illusion to think
that we can compete with other economies without reducing our living standards and the people it will hurt most are those who do not
have the deep pockets of the 'Upper Middle Class'. Sure David Cameron had the balls to stand up for Financial Services...but I don't
think Financial Services has covered itself with glory...or deserves to be stood up for...and if you want to really know what's up in
Financial Services...watch Charles Ferguson's Academy Award winning 'Inside Job' on your BBC Storyville...you've got 5 days left.
In the mean time enjoy the illusion that David is really Winston Churchill and WWII was our finest hour. The sooner we understand
that we are Europeans...the better...
