I remember well all the people who said if we were not in the euro that would be it, actually, what happened was it strengthened the City. It killed all the minor financial centers: Amsterdam, Vienna, Milan... We all know the euro business moved to London.

The campaign against joining the euro was clear that we should be in the single market, but outside of the euro, they are now rewriting history because it is the only argument they have.
