            Some of these poems aren’t good enough
            They resemble a viper discarding his slough
            But those with value ,
            Might emerge from the slough

        No, the Germans wanted every EU country to commit suicide together, and for some picky reason Cameron declined. So the rest, run by servile little creeps who have submitted to German domination, are off to drink the hemlock together.

          I can understand it being call an opt out but not veto. All the media are saying Cameron vetoed it, so can someone please explain it?

          • The Paragnostic says:

            Cameron vetoed it as a full EU treaty. Logically, the 17 members of the Eurozone should now agree to a treaty amongst themselves, and the other 9 EU members should steer well clear of what will ultimately be a catastrophic failure.

            But their “leaders” appear to think that they can influence events in the Eurozone to their advantage, and so are going to play along with the Shortarzy / Hausfrau plan and make Rusty look isolated. They haven’t got a strong financial sector to protect, so think that by playing along they can look good for little cost. When the shit hits the Euro fan, though, they will be expected to clean it up along with the 17, and it will cost them dear.

        What exactly has Dave vetoed? We didn’t have a veto over changes to financial regulations last week (since they are passed by QMV) and we continue to not have a veto after last night’s summit. So if the EU wish to neuter the City (not that the Tobin tax was ever on the table) then we’d have to continue to bend over and take it up the chuff as we currently do.

        I think Dave’s played a canny game but not in the way the cheerleaders on here seem to think. If he hadn’t vetoed this then the nature of the subsequent treaty would have meant that he’d have to call a referendum or else have his head handed to him on a platter by his backbenchers. He took the path of least resistance. The spat is manufactured allowing Sarkosy to gripe to his electorate about “perfidious Albion” whilst giving Dave the figleaf of decisiveness and acting in Britain’s interest. Don’t be fooled, the only interest that this oleaginous piece of shit acts in is his own.

        • 262
          The Paragnostic says:

          Tax changes aren’t passed by QMV, so we would have had a veto on the proposed transaction taxes. No doubt you want to see all the tax take from the City go to Hong Kong, but it ain’t going to happen just yet.

      You’ve been played, sucker! I

      It was agreed with Merkozy last month that Dave would veto this treaty change, and why? Well, I’m pretty sure that Dave told them that any changes to the Lisbon treaty to accommodate fiscal union would have resulted in an unstoppable demand from his backbenchers for the referendum that Dave always “promised”. Now we all know that giving the people a say in EU land is a no-no so this was the best option – Dave nixes this treaty change and the 26 go off and agree a separate treaty. No UK referendum required.

      Simple question, what powers has Dave repatriated that you didn’t have last week? You’ve been played and you don’t even know it!

    Good evening Guido

    I just want to add to Cameron’s supberb two fingers to Europe by adding what Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart VC, Churchill’s personal envoy to Poland in 1940 said on crossing the Romanian frontier (in hasty retreat) :

    “There are only three sorts of Romanians : they are either pimps, pederasts or violinists and blood few are violinists”. He then repeated this observation in French for the benefit of the sentry, who saluted in blank incompehension and waved them through.

    Ed Miliband thinks Cameron has made a terrible mistake by not signing the eurofudge treaty.

    Would some interviewer please ask him if he WOULD have signed it, instead of letting him waffle on about splits and fringes.

    “You would have signed the treaty, even if it was not in the nation’s interests?”

    “This walking away was wrong while negotiations are still ongoing …”

    “He should have signed, or he shouldn’t? You say he’s wrong, so you must feel the treaty is worth signing?”

    “”While negotiations are still going on..this non signing was wrong.Cameron should get back round the table and …”

    “Yes or no, Mr Miliband? Would you sign it? Labour signed Lisbon, even though it was bad for Britain. Would you sign this and have hobbled the UK financial centres, whilst transferring UK taxes from financial transactions to the EU? That’s what you would sign?”

    “This not signing is are wrong whilst negotiations are…”

    “I’ll ask you once more..and if you don’t answer properly, we’ll cut this segment from the news, Ok?”

    Reuters quote... says:

    Napoleon dreamed of it, De Gaulle fought for it, but Nicolas Sarkozy may have achieved it — a Europe of Nations with France in the cockpit and Britain on the sidelines.
    By obstructing the wish of the other EU members to amend the bloc’s governing Lisbon treaty to allow closer fiscal union among the 17-nation single currency area, British Prime Minister David Cameron managed to unite Europe against him.

    He may be feted by Eurosceptics at home, but he emerged as the biggest diplomatic loser of the summit, leading his country into an isolation that all his predecessors sought to avoid.

    For centuries, a basic principle of British diplomacy was to maintain a balance of power on the European mainland forming shifting alliances with the main continental powers.

    Cameron not only failed to win a blanket veto right over EU financial services legislation. The illusion of leading a group of 10 non-euro member states like Sweden and Poland, committed to a more liberal, open economy, crumbled as his supposed allies threw in their lot with the euro zone.

      Top of the Pops (We Can Save The Euro) Special says:

      The top ten Indicators of a Euro delusion!

      1. The leader expresses an idea or belief with unusual persistence or force.
      2. That idea appears to exert an undue influence on the leader’s life, and the way of life is often altered to an inexplicable extent.
      3. Despite his/her profound conviction, there is often a quality of secretiveness or suspicion when the leader is questioned about it.
      4. The individual tends to be humorless and oversensitive, especially about the belief.
      5. No matter how unlikely it is that these strange things are happening to him/her, the leader accepts them relatively unquestioningly.
      6. An attempt to contradict the belief is likely to arouse an inappropriately strong emotional reaction, often with irritability and hostility.
      7. The belief is, at the least, unlikely, and out of keeping with the leader’s social, cultural and religious background.
      8. The leader is emotionally over-invested in the idea and it overwhelms other elements of their psyche.
      9. The delusion, if acted out, often leads to behaviors which are abnormal and/or out of character, although perhaps understandable in the light of the delusional beliefs.
      10. Individuals who know the leader personally observe that the belief and behaviours are uncharacteristic and alien to them.

      Drove up to London today so had the radio on. The BBC were explaining that the Euro-solution involved the UK signing up to a ‘Tobin-tax’. A mere 0.01% tax on every financial transaction. A trifling amount you would think

      Turns out this would raise cost 49bn quid a year across the EU. Of which 38bn quid would come from the UK. So the Euro-solution for the euro-crisis caused by Italians, Greeks and Oi*r*i*sh squandering money they don’t have to buy votes would be to take 38bn quid a year out of the UK economy.

      And for this sensible refusal to sub the Italians, Greeks, M*i*cks, and Portuguese the UK is portrayed as ‘isolated’.

      UK refuses to pay for Greeks and Italians to retire early and buy Prada handbags shocker.

      Oh do fuck off.

      Plus – as with VAT – once you’ve acquiesced to the notion of a tax you will find that it suddenly isn’t 0.01%. But 0.1% or 20%. The problem ain’t per se the trivial 0.01%. It’s the establishment of the tax in the first place. Which you can be certain can be varied by ‘qualified majority voting’.

        I’m sure everybody in Europe apart from the French would sign up to that.

        T’aint Billiards; ‘s Pool innit. Most boring game ever invented. I bet none of them could hold a to real snooker players (who have to use a full size table for starters). Steve Davis tried for a while but made a complete tool of himself.

    To Merkel the one most Germanic
    and Sarko the French Messianic:
    Your project is doomed,
    your money consumed -
    soon you will sink like the Titanic.

    Sir Reginald Titbrain [Decd.] says:

    Come on Ange. don’t take no sh1t from that Kameron. I’m right behind you Ange. We can take him, go an Ange, flatten him, we can do it. Distract him while I punch him in the knee. Go on Ange, tell Him whose boss.

    “Hello, Frau Merkel, how nice to see you. Bit late for the children to be up isn’t it? I would have brought mine if you’d told me it was that sort of do. Look, out, someone’s just trodden on him, better get him home, see you later; Sam sends her love.”

    Well done Ange, that told him. Creep. Lucky for him you held me back. I was all fired up. Pretty knickers by the way.

      Like we rebuilt the Comet and called it Nimrod, the Concord is a life expired plane , build a new design to replace it and call it sarky git or mangy merkil, time to put ourselves before that lot.

    Gooey Blob says:

    Lib Dems have had a lesson in EU politics today. You can go into an european meeting with the best intentions in the world, but if the French decide they don’t want the British involved, they’ll ambush you and force you out.

    Toxic French bile from the protectionist s h i t s who want to take our tax revenues and use it to subsidise French farms in the 19th-century CAP.

    There’s nothing dynamic about France.

    The reason the BBC are gutted is they take money from the EU and have longed to be the EU official state broadcaster.

      The BBC overloads it's indignation circuits as the wailing and gnashing of teeth reaches a crescendo says:

      Perhaps we should pass legislation stripping the BBC of it’s “British” title ??

    The Fourth Reich says:

    Things are progressing well –

    We have 2 x Gauleiters; Greece and Italy.

    Marshal Sarkozy has surrendered France is actively collaborating.

    Our Eastern European allies are also co-operating.

    The Scandanavians are too busy shagging eachother to give a shit, but are easily bought off anyway.

    Only the Brits are still holding out.

    Like 1940 all over again!!

    Well it's a thought says:

    This Euro charade is like a bankrupt con man selling a bad idea to an old lady and asking for power of attorney from her to allow him to get the idea working, with her family shouting don’t do it ,you will lose everything, thinking about it shouldn’t we inform the Euro plod a scam is in progress.

    Gordon Brown MP (part time) says:

    I used my veto today and decided to not do any work for another 18 months.

    I’m here to save Europe and the whole world. Still no phone call from the two Eds or from Angela. Never did like that Sarkozy chap so don’t expect to get in touch. Wonder if my Nokia is broken after I threw it at the nurse.

Andrew Pierce on Ed Balls…

“Porky Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls sweet-talked guests at a fund-raising dinner by saying if he wasn’t a politician, he would be a chef. That’s not surprising, since he was accused of cooking the Treasury books when he was Gordon Brown’s boot boy.”



UKIP Official Policy Dept says:

Bloody foreigners, coming over here taking all our twitter followers
