Talking tosh and its backlash!
Yesterday, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, the chairman of the convention, also called for a referendum. He, of all people, understands the magnitude of what is being proposed, having often compared his work to that of the Philadelphia Convention of 1787. New states need a clear mandate from their future citizens. Yet, on television yesterday, Neil Kinnock made the assertion, apparently seriously, that the question of whether to have a mayor in Hartlepool was more constitutionally significant than Britain's incorporation into a European federation.
Why is Labour holding out so determinedly? After all, its intransigence is beginning to damage it on issues other than Europe. A politician cannot carry on talking evident tosh - even if only on one subject - without losing credibility. The likeliest answer is the obvious one: it fears losing. But honest Europhiles should sit down and ask themselves whether it is in anyone's interest for so momentous a step to be taken without wholehearted assent. The tactic of ignoring or, when necessary, deceiving the electorate has served well enough so far; but it cannot be kept up indefinitely without provoking a backlash.The results of the ongoing and deliberately ever-deeper deceptions of these Cabinet low-lives have resulted in their own almost complete moral degradation as evidenced by the same newspaper's revelations this morning as may now be read immediately below!Labels: Senior MP Maggots
