[Guardian]The mark of the fool, Cameron, is still there. Look at his grimaces.
Turn up the heat a little , and it's a gern-fest. Clegg , too.
He feels the pain of not being part of the continent he
loves. It’s a theoretical love of European history, Roman and so on.
He did the right thing for the wrong reasons. He was given orders by
the banks, who are in turn
ruining the British and EU economies, if not the whole world.
David Cameron did the only other thing he could have and
followed his banks' desires. Another reason for this is
that GB is fiscally vulnerable and can’t do a 3% limit on its
yearly defecit, because of the banks and the debt they’ve
shifted to their loosey-arsed sovereign.
I support most of what Ash says (below), but I also think
that, though fiscal control is good I’m more worried about
the accumulated debt. Also, I don’t go for the federal EU
because look what it did to Greece’s and Italy’s democracies,
just to save a few northern banks. That’s not the right
kind of union. In fact there’s too much money being
thrown at unelected politicians in the Commission of Barosso,
and van Rumpoy.
They’re profligate and beyond reproach. I think they should
have stuck to a trade union and a few laws to protect the
environment and labour.
Also all this recent bullshit will not turn the tide with the
current crisis. It’s like, there’s a fire today and instead of
fighting it, they’re ordering new fire trucks for 2 years from
now.
If you want good reasons for not signing the treaty,
look at the other Chuks'
(Czech Rep, Hungary, UK, Sweden) reasons,
particularly the Czech Chuks.
They just threw off the Russians, and were not wearing
rose-coloured glasses and were not enamored of the EU,
but merely a practical nation joining a customs union,
or so they thought.

“The Czechs are profoundly Eurosceptic and an observer said the domestic problems of Petr Necas's government were so acute that "it is unrealistic now to be part of some agreements of this kind". He added: "There are no real euro fans in the Czech Republic."Jan Zahradil, a fellow member of the Civic Democratic party and chairman of the European Conservatives and Reformists group, explicitly praised David Cameron and Necas for "defending the interests of their citizens" and refusing to surrender fiscal sovereignty."The leaders of the eurozone unfortunately missed the opportunity to transform the EU into a flexible, open structure, insisting instead on a narrow-minded and obsolete federalist concept, which leads the EU only in one direction: that of ever-closer integration," he added – welcoming a two-speed, two-tier Europe and insisting on protection for the single market.”
