Summary
Clegg has fiercely attacked the Conservative sceptics about supporting euro victims, saying that, “We must aid euro victims instead of being triumphalist about their downfall’ and that, ’There is no room for schadenfreude here’. Clegg says Britain should help the European countries survive the economic crisis instead of laughing at them. His comments contrast Cameron’s own words, who said that Britain should not bail out struggling European countries like Greece and Portugal. But Clegg stated that the UK and Europe are intertwined and that if the European countries go bankrupt, it will not be good for Britain.
Comment
I very much agree with Mr. Clegg here. I do think that Britain should help European countries as well, point simply being that Britain is economically too dependent on the rest of Europe. If the other countries fall, Britain will soon fall as well. It is time for many British citizens and especially politicians to get their heads out of their butts and to start working towards a long term solution, instead of laughing at the other countries, al though I do think that is a bit of an overstatement as Britain has been supportive until now.
