We should do well to remember that there is always an alternative

Everywhere I go I sense a feeling of inevitability - the inevitability of our absorption into a federal Europe with a single currency and a single government, theoretically answerable to a single Parliament. It is not, of course, what a majority of the people want. Otherwise The Sun would be for it and Tony Blair would have had his referendum and be joining a single currency in January’s first wave. But the fact is that people believe they will be paying in euros before they are much older.
