The hand of history on Cameron's Shoulder

David Cameron did it! by god he did it. He stuck it to the frolicking frogs, and the domineering Germans. He turned his buttocks to the EU, and told the slackers in Greece to get a job. Here's to good ol' blighty and all that... Now what?

Well, one might suggest that now is time for statistics; and as far as statistics go, London is home to - apart from the worst Metro system in the world- 33% of the European HQs of the worlld's largest companies, and to the operation centres of 65% of Fortune's Global 500 companies. More than half of Britain's trade is with the EU, and in particular 60% of Britain's exports are EU exports. Now of course, Cameron's performance last week may not spark a wave of companies exiting London, but depending on how far the island of Britain will drift as a result of David's stance, political reasons may drive Britain's future with European companies. Then, David Cameron may feel the hand of history approaching him from an entirely different angle
