David Cameron loses, has lost the debate on Europe - the EU - the European Community

What has the European Union ever done for us? David Cameron argues against greater integration with Europe. David Cameron: They've bled us white, the bastards. And what have they ever given us in return? Nick Clegg: Well, the single market. That's a pretty good idea. There are no tariffs on UK products sold in Europe you know. David Cameron: Oh yeah, yeah they gave us that. Yeah. That's true. Gordon Brown: And they've got rid of borders in Europe. We can work and live wherever we like in any European country. No problem. Nick Clegg: Oh yes... movement within Europe, David, you remember what the travel used to be like. Take out your passport. Why are you here? David Cameron: All right, I'll grant you the single market and free travel are two things that Europe has done... Nick Clegg: And the great European food. Italian, French, Spanish. Lovely. Where would Jaimie Oliver be? David Cameron: (sharply) Well yes obviously the food... the food goes without saying
