</div><div>In response to Paul Finlow-Bates comment :</div><div> </div><div>'However, Cameron's recent face-down with Sarkozy and Merkel has made his popularity jump everywhere'</div><div> </div><div>At
the risk of this becoming a political discussion, which it shouldn't as
this isn't the place, but I can't let everyone else in Europe have a
bad view of Britain because of the actions of one idiot - I would say in
large portions of the population including those in England David
Cameron's popularity has definitely NOT increased. I think a lot of
people realise that what he's done has completely isolated us from the
rest of Europe and this is absolutely not popular! Sorry - couldn't keep
silent. It seems to be those with ingrained xenophobia who see this as a
move in the 'right' direction and not
those who realise isolationism isn't the way forward. And you've got to
remember, most of Labour, Lib Dems and other non-Tory parties (notable
exception being UKIP) are happy in Europe and the Tories didn't win a
majority of the votes, so Cameron definitely wasn't speaking for the
majority, it just seems those who want to do everything they can to stop
progress in Europe are the more vocal ones. Rant over - I'll go back to
being a passive observer again...</div><div> </div><div>Gary Taylor-Raebel </div><div>London</div><span></span><br><font><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)" lang="NL"></span></font>
