Now Bertie Ahearn has spotted that we have a spinelss Scot for a prime minister. Gutless Gordon lacks the courage to give the people of this country the referendum which the Labour manifesto pledged.

We all know that the red lines equate to Brown lies

Cameron has not got the bottle to promise a referendum .Cameron scared stiff of upsetting Clarke and Hesletine which will again split the Tory Party.Cameron is all bluster and spin.UKIP must be having a feild day with the weak Tory Leader.Camerons PR team will be working overtime to get him off the hook.

Bill Rees, Truro, Cornwall

Will Mr Cameron guarantee to set aside the underhand deal of Gordon Brown and then hold a referendum on this cosmetically altered European Constitution thinly disguised as a New Treaty?

Or are the Tories too timid and too tempted by the European Gravy Train as well?

It really doesn't matter whether Gordon Brown thinks he has secured Britain's interests or not ...... the Labour Government, in it's last manifesto, promised a referendum. He is now breaking that commitment .... he has no mandate to agree to the treaty without holding, and securing the agreement of the British people, in that referendum.

Donna Walker, Effingham, Surrey

Remember these words at the next election when you read the Labour manifesto.......


"The EU now has 25 members and will continue to expand. The new Constitutional Treaty ensures the new Europe can work effectively, and that Britain keeps control of key national interests like foreign policy, taxation, social security and defence. The Treaty sets out what the EU can do and what it cannot. It strengthens the voice of national parliaments and governments in EU affairs. It is a good treaty for Britain and for the new Europe. We will put it to the British people in a referendum and campaign whole-heartedly for a 'Yes' vote to keep Britain a leading nation in Europe".


.....because that quote is from Labour's 2005 manifesto. Going back on your promises again Mr Brown? How can we believe a word you say? No wonder the electorate find politics hard to swallow. It must be the only profession where lies, lies and more lies are the order of the day.

Everyone knows and so does Brown know that once
has signed this so called treaty everything will change and the European courts will over turn what ever the choose.

Barry Holmes, Christchurch, New Zealand

An unelected p.m. who has ignored his own party's unambiguous election pledge to hold a referendum on this quasi-constitution/treaty is now, along with his mouthpiece of a foreign secretary totally out of step with the whole country.Does he seriously expect us to forget this act of the betrayal of a nation or is he so arrogant as to assume that he alone knows best? If he is serious about change and learning lessons he would do well to remember the last occupants decision, to take us into a highly questionable war on a hunch, because he too knew best!

philip, Ipswich,

Gordon Brown's promise of no further institutional change or integration for the next decade after the Reform Treaty is ratified, are the most truthful words uttered from a politician in many a year. By then the Union will have its United State of Europe completed. It will have control of land, air and sea, and it will control all the people within its territory and all will be true Citizens of that State of European Union. It will have its own Army, Navy, Air-Force, Police and Courts with the continental system of Corpus Juris in place.. The EU flag will fly in every square and all will stand while the EU anthem is played.

What is happening now in our Parliament, the point scoring off each other, the smirks on the faces of the leaders as they faced each other, the Lib/Dem's rather silly attempt to turn the issue of a referendum on whether we remain in the EU, yet not back a referendum on the Treaty is the most disgraceful side-step of all/

MP's underestimate the people

Anne, West Midlands, England

What right has Mr Brown to go back on his word on giving the people a vote when the Irish Prime minister gives the Irish people a vote. That man was not elected by the people so what right has he got to dictate to us. I voted labour all my life.I never thought I would vote tory. I could never trust Brown again, And if labour mp's let him get away with this. Labour voters will desert in droves.The man Brown can never be trusted again. E MC Dermott.
