"Sir Menzies, a 'pro-European', told the Financial Times the new EU reform treaty was 'sufficiently different' from the original constitution to avoid the need for a plebiscite."*
What?
1) It's not different, anybody who knows about this says so, on both sides of the fence.
2) MPs voted back in February 2005 that we ought to have a referendum. And it was in the ruling Labour Party's General Election Manifesto for 2005.
3) What does 'sufficiently different' have to do with it anyway (even if it were, which it's not - see point 1)? Does that mean, if The Goblin King signed up to a Treaty to make us a territory of Russia, that'd be OK, because it is 'sufficiently different' from the original Constitution?
So he's lying. Lying. And stupid. Because we know he's lying. And he must know that we know he's lying. And so on. And undemocratic, because of 2). And illogical because of 3).
Ah ... problem solved.

Just so you know
The good eye is the one on the left when you see him speaking on the telly
Ie his right eye
Good. If I only have one bullet I'll know where to aim.
I expect to be lied to by Ming. In fact, all members of the political class lie: that is their nature. The insult is that they actually expect me to believe them.
For instance - and this isn't an anti-Cameron rant - but who really believes that Cameron's ambition to "force" the referendum issue in the Commons according to this article will have the slightest effect? Cameron is bound to fail since Labour will be whipped, the LibDems will follow their leader and their own pro-EU inclinations and europhile Tories will vote with Brown. Unfortunately, on this and other issues, the Commons is the last place that anything can be "forced" against the will of the government. Cameron knows this, we know it and Cameron knows we know it - so why bother to imply that he can do anything?
