Iain reads…so you don’t have to

Iain Martin has done a great service to his readers and read the vomit-inducing codswhallop contained in Peter “Mandy” Mandleson’s latest speech in Brussels. You can read the thing if you want on the European Commission website. Here is an excerpt which rather sums things up.

It’s not a constitution – there is no anthem, no ancient Greek mottos. And although the EU’s pooling of some powers to give Europe greater weight in the world will always be objected to by British diehards, we need to remember that for the little bit of influence over our own actions that we grant others, we get an equivalent measure of influence over theirs.”

You know when someone like Mandy gives a speech like this one really needs to worry. The more the EU tell everyone that the treaty is not a constitution the more people think they are hiding what it really is.

One does have to wonder if Brown will be able to resist the siren call to give a referendum now being heard from behind him on the benches.
