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'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.

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.
