EU forces Ireland into treaty

Well, I do so wish that I could say I'm surprised, but far from it. It looks like the Irish people will be given another referendum on the EU not-a-constitution.


After having rejected it in June, it would appear that the EU and the Irish Government have been in bed together, thrashing out details which will ensure that a "yes" vote is reached. Not that the EU doesn't have form in this kind of situation, asking and asking and asking until it gets the answer it wants. Will this dangerous, disturbing, abhorrent Nazi-like institution ever learn the word "no", let alone its meaning?

Well well well...

Well. Since I last updated, an extremely slimy not-black man has been elected as the next President of the United States - but more disturbingly, MPs are being censored and even arrested for doing their jobs.


Yes, on Thursday last week, Conservative MP Damian Green was arrested by counter-terrorism police and had his two homes and two offices searched and all electronic equipment siezed. His crime? Making public numerous pieces of quite disturbing information, including that illegal immigrants had been employed as security staff in government buildings.


And now it seems that meetings are being held on the matter, purely between the Government's ministers and parliamentary officials. Of course, Labour claim that the meetings are "merely about parliamentary procedure". But it strikes me that issues of how Parliament is run and organised are perhaps even more important that all parties are involved.


What happens next really is anyone's guess. Perhaps we'll see David Cameron and Nick Clegg arrested for opposing the Government.
