http://j.mp/eVamc Fraser Nelson on the welfare trap. The readers comments on the accompanying article show that folks don't get it - it is, as Deming would say, the system that drives the behaviour of the people.

... from the Social Chapter will be restored, and so on. Well, I’ll believe it when I see it. As Fraser Nelson has written on the Spectator’s CoffeeHouse blog, it is more than likely that the EU will be kicked into the long grass as a political issue and that superficially attractive measures like the proposed Sovereignty Bill will be largely symbolic.

The Spectator - or, at least, Fraser Nelson - is severely unimpressed with Cameron's new policy on Europe, and for good reason. He correctly pinpoints the holes...

... worthwhile policies must now take absolute precedence. Tim Montgomerie 6.15pm: The Spectator's Fraser Nelson has reached similar conclusions : "The package [Cameron] laid out today will scare precisely no one in Brussels.

... to push their European agenda; namely to get back many of the powers we have given away. Fraser Nelson has just predicted that in 5-6 years there will be an ‘in or out’ referendum.
