It would appear that Tony Blair will have his revenge from beyond his tenancy of No. 10 – the Telegraph reports that Mr. Blair will sign the UK up the new European constitution treaty before he leaves, leaving Brown with a problem. That problem being (hopefully) thousands of hacked-off people who could have sworn they were going to have a referendum on the constitution treaty.
As usual, it’s been spun that it’s not a constitution, it’s a treaty (in case you hadn’t already picked that up), so there’s no need to have a referendum. We have enough crap foisted upon us by Europe which we’ve not agreed to, so there’s no change I guess. The whole ballyhoo about satellite tracking cars for road charging is due in part from the cack-handed european Galileo project, which aims to provide an alternative to the United States GPS system. Problem is, it’s cost so much, they need to get the money back somehow, so…
Anyway, I suppose I should not be surprised at Blair’s latest disregard for voters, but I hope Brown will have no such truck with it. Bwha-hahahahahaha, who am I kidding?
