Stuart Wheeler’s judicial review of the British government’s refusal to give us the referendum on the EU not-a-constitution that it promised started today.
Wheeler’s QC provided evidence that the EU Constitution and the Lisbon Treaty are basically the same thing in all but name, including evidence from Valery Giscard d’Estaing, the eurofederalist who first came up with the EU Constitution.
No Mandate Brown’s QC claims that Wheeler is only bringing the case for the “inappropriate purpose” of getting a judgment critical of the British government.
The House of Lords, which has still been debating the EU not-a-constitution despite it being sub judice, is due to vote on giving away our sovereignty on Wednesday, the same day the Commons will vote on whether to institute the illegal and unconstitutional internment of “terrorist” suspects for a month and a half. That’ll be convenient for our new masters on the continent because Common Law is incompatible with the Napoleonic Code used in the rest of Federal Europe.

Wheeler is a Tory-backer, is he not? Wonder what he makes of Cameron’s wobbling on this issue?
The fact that only 1% of the EU population (that of the Republic of Ireland) are getting a vote on the renamed treaty tells you all you need to know about what the Eurocrats think of democratic participation…
True enough.
Our Europhile Establishment know full well what the result of a referendum would be.
No snouts in the European trough for them!
Maybe referendums were popular in the 1930s or whenever Eire was set up and it has gone out of fashion, hence none of the new countries have them?
