Merkel and Sarkozy may need a change in the Lisbon Treaty (aka the EUSSR Constitution) if they want to trick German, Dutch and Swedish taxpayers into bailing out the bankrupt PIIGS (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, Spain). These gives Britain a once in a lifetime opportunity to use the treaty change as a bargaining tool to obtain concessions like an end to the EUSSR increasing its power, a 30% cut in useless. corrupt, overpaid eurocrats, disbanding the pointless European Court of Human Rights, reducing the EU budget by a third, scrapping the Common Agricultural Policy and taking away immunity from prosecution from corrupt MEPs and officials.
But our cringing coward of a PM seems terrified of confronting the Merkel/Sarzozy stitch up. Instead he may just ask for a few words about a slight loosening of the European Working Hours Directive. Oh Cameron, your cowardice in failing to stand up for British interests is going to make you the second most despised person in Britain – the greedy, careerist Nick Clegg, of course, being the most despised.
