EU've got to be joking.....?


It could be charitable to say that the jury is still out on how Gordon Brown will prove to be as Prime Minister. It may however be fairer to say that with 5 months under his belt in the job and David Cameron enjoying a 15 point lead in the polls that not only did the jurors return weeks ago, but they've decided that Gordon is having a shocker.


And I'm afraid it is behaviour like yesterday's announcement that our PM won't be signing the EU Treaty ceremony that does him no favours.

Does he think we don't see what's going on? Does he really hold us all with such contempt that he has to conveniently fail to rearrange a less important committee meeting rather than sign the most important EU agreement since, well, the last one probably?

I accept there is a tiny possibility that Gordon Brown's excuses are legitimate but let's see how many of the Merkel's and Sarkozy's make it along to put pen to paper shall we.


It's quite simple Gordon, if you back this Treaty then take the lead, stand up for it and be seen to be supporting it. Otherwise you just look like a bit of an idiot, polls will plummet further and jury's will continue to be returning to their seats with solemn faces up and down the country.
The more you slither around on the subject of Europe, the more Eurosceptic we are forced to become.
