It would be entirely wrong of me to say that The Independent and The Guardian have not been shuffling uncomfortably in their editorial columns over the EU/Eurozone crisis. Indeed there have even been a small handful of paragraphs over recent months which have not been entirely devoid of common sense.
In fairness too, they have reported the depth of the problems Europe now faces.
The problem - inevitably enough - has been their flat refusal to accept that the EU is 'a very bad thing' in both thought and execution and that the Euro is even worse.
It is rather like the owner of a house with crumbling foundations, no roof and collapsing walls being approached by a rogue builder who claims that it can be salvaged.
The problem is that the house had been in pretty good nick before the very same builder had started messing with it.
Would you want to accept advice from this doyen of the building trade?
