Summary:
David Cameron talks about Europe and Britain. He starts to talk about the two World Wars and how they affected Europe and Britain. He says we never want to visit that dark past again. He also speaks on the first time he visited Berlin, which was after the Wall was down. He thinks the European Union played an important role in preventing new wars, but that its purpose is different today: to secure prosperity. He thinks that the European Union started to exist to prevent wars, but that it exist today to cope with the growing economies in Asia, such as China and India.

 

Opinion:
David Cameron is right when he says that the European Union was very important in making sure new wars would not happen. He thanks the European Union for this, but after this tribute, he becomes critical on losing Britain’s independence to Europe. He feels that Britain has down so much for Europe, but Europe has not down as much for Britain. Britain does not receive enough benefits from the European Union. I do understand where he is coming from, he wants a better deal for Britain and not only a better deal for the European Union.
