Personally

Personally I couldn't give a stuff about the extent to which the UK is to be subsumed into the greater EU. I'm bailing out at the earliest available opportunity. Sayonara suckers.

But in the meantime I'm stuck with Fat Gordy's bullying. He's on his hind legs before parliament making a statement to the house attempting to explain why there's no obligation to stick to the manifesto pledge of a referendum. The referendum commitment related to the dead EU constitution and as far as Gordy's concerned now it is called a Treaty and not a Constitution, and because the nasty, overtly pan-nationalistic and politically incendiary "flag and anthem" aspects of the late, unlamented document have been excised all's well and the people can sleep sound in their beds at night secure in the knowledge that Fat Gordy's on the case.

Promises, promises.

Whatever the document might be called further institutional changes, many of which the UK will not be able to duck out of, are inevitable. "Even when it is a constitution in other countries it isn't a constitution in the UK". Oh, please. How stupid do you think the voters are?

Blather about opt outs and red lines? This is the continuation of the Euro-March and absolutely the only good news on that front in the past 48 hours is that one half of the hideous double act that has been running Poland round and round in ever decreasing circles of absurdity and ridicule has been skewered, as an adequate sufficiency of morbidly christian Poles came to their senses long enough to elect someone with a greater interest in administration than moralising.
