Ah, that explains your admiration for Monbiot's support of Tony Blair as European President Smile

Did you read that? It was very good.

On Sunday in The Observer, David Owen said that it is a crime to deliberately mislead a court, but Blair has so far got away with misleading Parliament and this country over the reasons for war.

Like contempt of court, contempt of Parliament should always be a disqualification for holding high office.

I've met the man, and think him far too smart to get caught. Any European reactions - other than as noted by Walter in his thread >

> to the Afghanistan debacle, Iran impasse, Polish-Czech radars etc?

Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus signed the EU reform treaty, aka "Treaty of Lisbon" today after the country's Constitutional Court ruled that the treaty does not conflict with the country's constitution.
Klaus signed the treaty, despite maintaining his position that the court's decision was political and that the treaty interferes with Czech sovereignty.

The Czech Republic is the last EU member state to ratify the treaty.


Meanwhile, in the UK, "David Cameron will on Wednesday face down pressure from his Eurosceptic party to offer a referendum on European Union’s Lisbon treaty. The Tory leader will instead pledge to bring control of social and employment policy back to Westminster in his party’s general election manifesto." > UK Tories wary as Czechs sign treaty
