Nobody likes us we don't care

Glen Oglaza has it spot on about the Tories and Europe.

Are the Tories the Millwall of Europe: Nobody likes us but we don't care?

But here is the real point that he makes

We are in the European Union, so let's lead it from the front.

The EU should be led by Britain, Germany and France - but we always seem to be the Tail-End Charlie.
But I guess that will remain the way so long as we are not in the Euro or signed up to Shengen (uniquely difficult for the UK).
If we are staying in, let's do it properly and whole-heartedy - or let's just get out and trade with the Commonwealth instead.
