Tony Blair prepares for his role as the first EU President. The
Czech Republic has surrendered, bent its knee, and
ratified the
EU Constitution Lisbon Treaty; bringing the European Empire officially into existence.
Meanwhile, in a move that is no surprise to anyone, the Tories have once again proven that they are New Labour Lite by
reneging on their promise to hold a referendum on the treaty, saying that,
These things will already have happened and a referendum cannot unwind them or prevent them.
Prevent? Perhaps not, Mr Hague, but this isn't about prevention. It's about liberty. A referendum would empower the British government to tell Brussels to stuff their "treaty" and every single thing it implies because freeborn Englishmen didn't sign up for a free trade zone only to become vassals to a Continental empire that will almost certainly rot away within a decade anyway. Mr Cameron could do that on the phone while Parliament spends a quick half hour repealing the European Communities Act 1972.
See? How hard was that?
