& taking them from the top …

1. Apparently the proposed constitution is too ‘Anglo-Saxon’ – whatever that may be, but clearly even the faintest traces of our Anglo-Saxon traditions must be eradicated as they have no place under the Nu European Brussels hegemony

2. It was a vote against globalisation – well it might have been, but if it was, it is about fifteen years too late because if the good citizens of France stopped reading Le Monde for more than five minutes & took the time out look beyond their own little boarders, they might see that the worlds economic markets globalised some time ago. Even if I say so myself, it’s a little late to vote against it, but there is always I suppose a Gallic version of the King Canute paradigm

3. The people of Frogland voted against their political class, in the finest traditions of the ‘Red Flag’ I do find it surprising that they turned up to vote, given their propensity for not turning up to work – I expect that this turning up for work thing is a nasty Anglo-Saxon habit as well

4. Apparently the proposed constitution is too free market orientated & that would never do for the good citizens of old Europe who seem to remain hell-bent on trying to create a protectionist workers paradise. The concept of freedom of goods & labour within a free trade area is one that clearly horrified true frenchies – because when they say free trade, they never never mean it. I just wonder if their 10% unemployment rate ….. no no, lets not go there just at the moment

5. They voted against the sun rising in the east, water flowing downhill & Father Christmas

6. It was a vote against les roast beefs because we drive on the other & incidentally the correct side of the road… etc etc etc

Now, faced with the prospect of another no vote to be delivered from the cloggies on Wednesday, witness Mr Blah & Jack ‘man of’ Straw – both backpeddling like a men possessed, trying to think of new reasons as to how they can avoid giving us a vote on the matter.

And while all of this is going on, Mandy Man-handle –son & his Euro bum chums; in the finest EU traditions are plotting to come up with new ways of forcing the constitution through regardless of the wishes of its citizens. Very sorry, but you gave us the wrong answer … & like a sadistic Latin master, the question will continue to be asked until such time as we, the EU-serfs, come up with the right answer. Either that, or the faceless & unelected bureaucrats will just carry on regardless. Bast*rds!
