It certainly doesn't exhibit an assured self-confidence, or indeed that he thinks the publics' intelligence is all that bright.

But he still loves his Bro deeply

Maybe Graham would like to explain if he thinks he constituents are to stupid to understand what the EU means for the Country and make an informed choice.

simple- they already know what THEY want to happen and they also know that the people want the exact opposite, therefore the only solution is to block the referendum

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?
OOoh! Now, well, Stop the press my deario's.
THIS MIGHT CHANGE THINGS A BIT>>>>>
You know how the delightful Mr Salmond of the Scottish National Party insists that within the next four years he will bring before the Scottish Parliament a Bill for a referendum on Independence for Scotland. And how the PC worthies are all bleating about how we must maintain the Union at all costs?
Well it seems that, if the referendum returns a majority in favour of independence, then at the point of dissolution of the Union each country, England and Scotland, will have to renegotiate their membership of the EU, because it will be impossible to determine which country, England or Scotland, would be the lawfull successor to the former United Kingdom and its Treaties.
An Independent Scotland has my vote! (or at least it would if I had one, but as I am English and not Scottish I am hardly likley to be invited to that particular bunfight)
Still, where there is life there is hope.

It sounds all lovely and 16th century-ish.
Will we be able to execute traitors again?

Ohh, if only, if only. No wonder the mandarins in Whitehall are not too keen on Mr Salmond and his referendum. Can you imagine the amount of work they would be landed with, in having to renegotiate every treaty signed and still effective over the last three hundred years.
Frau Doktor Merkel was right the other day when she indicated that the alternative to saving the euro and the eu was potential conflict. But as with most euro pols. she is months behind the curve. Change, conflict driven or otherwise is on its way and cannot be stopped. It will make no difference how much money is thrown down the gaping maw of the banking system. As Omar Khayyam put it in the eleventh century:
"The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it. "
And the words that the moving finger wrote...
" j' accuse! "
