Comments on: German Verdict – Lisbon Treaty Battles On Against The Odds http://www.civitas.org.uk/wordpress/2009/07/01/german-verdict-%e2%80%93-lisbon-treaty-battles-on-against-the-odds/ Daily commentary from Civitas researchers Sun, 12 Feb 2012 01:17:19 +0100 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Ken Worthy http://www.civitas.org.uk/wordpress/2009/07/01/german-verdict-%e2%80%93-lisbon-treaty-battles-on-against-the-odds/comment-page-1/#comment-1098 Ken Worthy Sat, 11 Jul 2009 13:51:04 +0000 http://www.civitas.org.uk/wordpress/?p=1244#comment-1098 Excellent article - it goes a long way towards explaining why the EU always gets away with the most outrageous affronts to democracy. Do none of our politicians have the bottle to stand up to them, and say that this is no way to run an international grouping, and that if they insist on driving their project further by such means, we want no part of it? Cameron has said that he "will not let matters rest" if the treaty has been fully ratified by the time he comes to office. What that means we can only wonder. The omens are not good.

You can fool some of the people all of the time And all of the people some of the time, But not all of the people all of the time Advice for the Eurocrats to ponder. Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practice to deceive.

You can fool some of the people all of the time
And all of the people some of the time,
But not all of the people all of the time

Advice for the Eurocrats to ponder.
