EU in Crisis

Simon Heffer in the Daily Telegraph this morning offers a good summary of the ongoing disaster that is the EU. The column is linked here and concludes as follows:

So we may indeed be about to see an economic debacle of unprecedented proportions in the recent history of the developed world. We shall just have to steel ourselves for it. It may, though, have the legacy of ending the neo-sovietisation of our continent, and allowing a resurgence of democracy in Europe and among European peoples; which would prove, at last, that every cloud does indeed have a silver lining.
