The Great Tory EU Con

The biggest lie (and there are plenty of whoppers) in British politics today is that they Tories harbour any doubts whatever about the EU. Peter Hitchens is spot on:

At last the fake row about a referendum on the EU Constitution is over, and we will stop having to listen to the Tory Party's phoney cries of rage about a treaty it would have signed without fuss had it been in office.

The Conservative pretence of hostility to the EU is one of the most shameless lies in politics. They have always been the most EU-friendly party, and adopted meaningless "Euro-scepticism" only when people realised what the EU really meant.
