UK trying to reform the EU and getting nowhere



David Cameron is trying to reform the EU and pull it back a little. And getting nowhere because the EU politicians and bureaucrats are set on creating a United States of Europe. Whether the people of Europe want it or not.

Cameron's problems are he promised to get a lot more from Europe than he's asked for and can't even get that little. Because countries like Czech, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and now Greece are demanding no changes to any reduction in benefits they now receive.

We have a situation of the tail wagging the dog.
