Been reflecting on the weekend media's response to David Cameron's policy statement following the decision of the Czech President, Vaclav Klaus to complete the Lisbon Treaty's ratification process. Not sure what to think. Best column, in my opinion, was William Rees Mogg in the Mail on Sunday . Like me, he thinks the sheer deception which has been employed by the EU to avoid any sort of democratic...

He said: “People say that the EU is not a country and only countries can have IMF seats, but that...

The EU has achieved the goal it has worked stealthily towards for so long - a supra-national government which is now beyond our recall, writes Christopher Booker So the trap has snapped shut. It was somehow apt that the politician who finally let the EU get the constitution it has craved so long should [...]
One of Czech President Vaclav Klaus's goals may be to have the Czech Republic regain its lost sovereignty, for example by its departure from the EU, Petr Hajek, deputy head of the Presidential Office, said on Prima TV Wednesday.
Czech prime minister Jan Fischer plans to deliver his country’s Lisbon Treaty ratification instrument to Rome next week, paving the way for the treaty to come into effect in December.
In a story yesterday Guido reported that Guido has been told that three weeks ago Margaret Thatcher wrote a personal plea to her great admirer Václav Klaus, to stand firm, in the hope of strengthening his resolve. It was to be delivered by William Hague. Lady Thatcher’s office say she did not. Apologies to Margaret Thatcher [...]
He's one of my heroes.... My views on the doctrine of global warming and especially on the role of man in it are relatively known. My book with the title Blue Planet in Green Shackles has been already published in 12 languages and, two and a half years after its original publication, I don’t have any urgent need to rewrite it. We should not forget how the doctrine of global warming came into...

Here are two very short, but inadequate, versions of Vaclav Klaus speaking after signing the Treaty. Possibly in the future, there will be better versions, but I don't see why they would be necessary. We know what happened, and how and why it happened. See my next post for an excellent essay by Paul Belien of The Brussels Journal on what this really means for Europe (and for America, if anyone in America...
A RANT A DAY.... I was talking with one of my neighbours yesterday morning and he told me that he hadn`t bought a newspaper for years and years. The reason? Because they were always full of bad news. So too is the news on television and radio; it seems impossible to avoid it and the really depressing thing is that the more you listen, look and read, the worse the news seems to get.
