As I will continue to say until I am blue in the face, you can’t rather suddenly add 3.5 billion people to the free market (half the world’s population) and not expect the 700 million people in the developed world to remain competitive at dramatically higher wages than those accepted by the new arrivals.

It all adds up to one of the most disastrous summits imaginable. A continent which has risen to multiple occasions over the past 66 years has, in 2011, decided to implode in a spectacle of pathetic ignominy. Its individual countries will survive, of course, albeit in unnecessarily straitened circumstances. But the dream of European unity is dissolving in real time, as the eyes of the world look on in disbelief.
