Tapestry Talks - who disappears occasionally and then has a flurry of activity - has a post today about Bliar signing us up for the New EU Constitution. No referendum, no Parliamentary debate, no nothing. His arguement is that this effectively ends Britain as a Sovereign State.
This would be true, I think, except that to a large extent we are already circumscribed in what we can do. I'm not sure anyone,anywhere is any freer than we are. Most other places are much worse, and I have to say I would rather be a French, German, Dutch, Spanish ( you get the idea) rather than eg a Turkish citizen. Did I mention they want to join us?
What I do think is important is the fact there has been no debate. The EU is so boring, as TT says, that we ignore it. It's " over there" and nothing to do with us.
Except it is.
I no longer know where I would rather live than Scotland. I used to know. It was France.
I'm not so sure anymore.
