Some "renegotiation" that will come to
nothing, but if it did would see its proposed result put to a referendum with
the status quo as the other option?
Even the Lib Dems could probably do better than
that.
Labour certainly could. Certainly must. And
certainly will.
Have you seen PH's blog post on the EU in the last hour? Assume you know about the rumblings among Labour MPs in anticipation of "the speech" on Friday.
ReplyDeleteOn the second point, I couldn't possibly comment. On the first, though:
ReplyDelete"The European Question is a very simple one. The EU is, and always has been, a plan to integrate its members into a single supranational state. The idea that Britain ‘originally joined a Common Market which was just a free trade area’ is the most abject tripe. There was never any such organisation.
The poor boobies who write letters to the papers claiming that this what they voted for back in 1975 are just that, boobies. They refused to listen to the correct warnings they were given at the time. Then, when the warnings proved to be true, these boobies forgave themselves by pretending that they didn’t know, when the truth was that they knew, but preferred to ignore the knowledge."
Quite.
Probably almost everyone in UKIP is just such a booby. For the people who have consistently seen through the EU, you need to look as far as you can beyond Thatcherism In Exile.
