says he's battling for Britain with EU but we say: You CAN'T win Prime Minister

TODAY the Daily Express demands that David Cameron puts his personal love affair with Europe to one side and is honest with the people of Britain.

David Cameron needs to be honest with the people of Britain

If he has secured a deal with the EU he must admit that it is not a victory but a pitiful surrender.
If Cameron then proclaims he has triumphed for Britain it will be as meaningless as the infamous piece of paper Neville Chamberlain waved in 1938 which promised peace but ended in catastrophe.
When the Prime Minister entered the EU summit yesterday he declared boldly: “I’ll be battling for Britain.”
Except he wasn’t, because every European leader knew Cameron’s heart was not in this fight.

A deal with the EU is not a victory but a pitiful surrender

He had deliberately asked for little and did not care if he had to accept less because for all his strengths Cameron had one weakness: his deeply-held desire to ensure Britain remained part of the EU.
Last May he cleverly rode the tide of disillusion and resentment with the EU, which saw more than four million voters back Ukip, by brazenly pledging he would battle for “fundamental reform”.
He knew he could never deliver on that promise because no British leader – not Winston Churchill, not Margaret Thatcher – would be capable of stopping an EU dictatorship which is hell-bent on creating a United States of Europe regardless of the wishes of its citizens.
The only way is out.

Cameron has taken his begging bowl around the capitals of Europe, filled with the thinnest of gruel, only to have it tipped over his head in Brussels, where the real power lies.
Even if he were to get everything he was asking for it would not make a scrap of difference to the number of migrants flooding in and bursting our National Health Service and our schools at the seams.
It would not enable Britain to block one single unwanted EU law.
Nor would it let our courts have the final say on crucial matters such as whether terrorist have human rights.

If the Prime Minister trumpets a deal today it must be treated with grave suspicion.
There will be no cast-iron guarantees, no treaty changes, nothing to stop the EU reneging on its word.

The EU referendum will be the most important vote this country has ever faced yet we will be expected to decide our future on the strength of “ifs and maybes”.
The Prime Minister must do his duty to the nation or history may condemn him as the man who sold us out.
