Stop the excuses and hold an EU
referendum
SIR - In April 2004, we sent a
PETITION of over
1,000,000
signatures to the Queen requesting
NO ROYAL ASSENT
to any
BILL
-authorising the proposed
EU CONSTITUTION
-unless approved by at least two
thirds of the
ELECTORATE
in a
REFERENDUM
Three weeks later, Tony Blair
promised a referendum, on which
HE and GORDON BROWN
have since reneged as being
unnecessary.
The revamped version of the
EU Constitution
-is virtually identical with its
predecessor, and Mr Blair's attempts to hide this is a shameful
BETRAYAL OF THE COUNTRY.
THEREFORE
If our elected politicians refuse
TO HONOUR THEIR OATHS
I propose that an
INDEPENDENT REFERENDUM IS ARRANGED
-funded and conducted without
further ado, preceded by a
FULL HONEST PRESENTATION OF THE
FACTS.
This would at least provide a
reliable un-spun indication of public opinion. We should also insist
that there is
NO GOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH
BRUSSELS.
until the outcome of the
REFERENDUM
IS KNOWN
The British people can then choose
whether they wish to be subjugated by
AN ALIEN POWER
OR
SET FREE!

[ Mr John Gouriet needs no
introduction as his eminent work together with his once close
colleague the late Chairman of the Freedom Association Norris
McWhirter whose life was brought to an end by his persisted hard
work on behalf of his country - has been on our front page since its
beginning.]
SIR - An Act of Parliament to
ratify a
NEW EU TREATY
not only alters the external
relationship between the British State and foreign states, but also
the internal constitutional relationship between the
BRITISH STATE AND ITS CITIZENS
The Irish Republic has a
CODIFIED CONSTITUTION
-which can be amended
ONLY
BY
REFERENDUM
That is why the Irish Government
has been
COMPELLED
to hold
A REFERENDUM
ON EACH OF THE EU TREATIES.
At one time, Labour politicians
were in favour of
REFERENDUMS
-to settle constitutional
questions-for example on whether there should be
DEVOLVED GOVERNMENT
IN
SCOTLAND
But their enthusiasm for letting us
have a say began to wane when voters in
NORTH EAST ENGLAND
threw out John Prescott's proposal
for an elected
REGIONAL ASSEMBLY
None the less, every Labour MP was
elected in 2005 on the
MANIFESTO PROMISE
of a
REFERENDUM
on the
NEW EU TREATY
-and they must not allow themselves
to be bullied
INTO BREAKING THEIR WORD.
