French Constitutional Revision

To ratify the Lisbon Treaty France must first amend its constitution which requires a two thirds parliamentary majority. This is a higher margin than that required for the actual ratification of thepartly Sarkozy inspired "faux" constitution. One more slight hope that the people of Europe will be saved from yet another tyranny, the date to watch 4th February. Le Figaro reports that former PM Laurent Fabius will vote against the constitutional change. In the UK, meanwhile, PM Brown continued his bullying of the state broadcaster's employees, this time on the Radio 4 Today programme, once again with the EU subsidised BBC employee failing to mention the broken promise over a referendum on the clearly constitutional EU Treaty.
