Britain more isolated than ever after treaty veto

Britain has always been separate from the rest of Europe but David Cameron's refusal to back changes to an EU treaty leave it more isolated than ever before.

He says it was a "tough but good" decision. What will it mean for Britain's future in the EU?

Looks like a win-win to me, no need for animosity.Eurozone is going to implement some much needed fiscal responisiblity among it's members, and Cameron protected London's Bankers. Britain will be fine and vice versa, it's all good.

It is a disgrace in a modern democracy that the people have no say in matters as important as these. Only when elected politicians are given a better, more immediate system of representing their people will everyone feel empowered. We vote on Strictly Ballroom for gods sake. Take the guesswork out of it. Ask us and we will tell you what to do.

@townsley2 I may be stupid but I'm not racist!

the financial stranglehold may come from the city of London, but these people are not English, and they don't care about the English

the EU is just total control of a billion people

@69salford69

WHAT?!? U are definitely racist AND stupid ! and you obviously don't even know what you're saying ! Not only am I mocking Great britain but I blame it for being hypocritically baleful to EU. Now you care about Greek people hey ? So you probably think that vetoing that treaty about financial regulation will help Greek people? And you're against financial stranglehold, champ... So could you remind me where one find more "financial strangleholder" but right in the CITY in LONDON ?!

[69salford69]

@townsley2 I'm not racist, you're mocking Great Britain so I'm mocking foreigners

I'm not against Europe, I'm against the financial stranglehold that is destroying countries all over the world.

Most Europeans I speak to are from Greece, and the people are fighting for their lives, so stop complaining about Britain

@69salford69

Wow, that line was even more stupid than the last one, congrats, u're exceling boy ! We do have those "foreigners looking for a better life" aswell, u racist cunt, and guess what, a lot of them are ENGLISH! We even do have more foreigners than UK. But anyway that doesn't have anything to do with u being part of the EU. Most of english don't want to be part of the EU. Most European don't want english to be part of the EU. I say : leave now, and we've dealt with it!

[69salford69]

@townsley2 We're obviosly not out of the EU, because we've got truck loads of unwashed stinky foreigners coming here for a better life

@69salford69

I 'm writting in English cause I want u to understand, stupid prick !! and how many languages could u understand since u only get a little fucked monolanguage brain ?? Tell me. I could write in french, german or spanish aswell but would u get my point ?? Now I say it again: i'm pretty relieved u boys vetoed that treaty, ur clearly out of the EU now, for our greatest own good.

@Mysteryskatin

That's your opinion. The euro was and still is a great thing to me making of the eurozone the first economical place in the world. The only terrible mistake was to allow weak countries with falsified accounts join that zone. but i think the euro is to be saved. Britain did not want of it. fine! But those hypocrites kept interfere with euro leader's decisions. They just clearly refused a shared financial regulation, they better keep their mouth shut from now on !!!

@townsley2 Economically speaking the Euro is a terrible idea to begin with in my opinion. The nations are to diverse. It is impossible to control interest rates, etc. Britain does not use the Euro, why would they take a blow to one of their most important economic sectors to try and save it? Britain, in my opinion, seems only to be interested in European free trade, and I don't blame them. Britain is Britain's main concern, and rightfully so.
