Bob FM: I would not presume to speak for Mr Wheeler, but perhaps he has more regard for Britain than has David Cameron.
I return to my original premise, that a victory in the courts, i.e. confirmation from the judge that both documents are substantially the same, would increase Brown's options, while diminishing Cameron's. All Brown need say, is that the Foreign Office and legal officers assured him that the EU Constitution and Lisbon Treaty, in law, were fundamentally different. That advice is not supported by the judgement in the High Court. I will, therefore, accept their Lordships advice, and invite Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg, to join me in granting a referendum to the British people, without further delay. Now that the legal position has been clarified, the presumption must be that a free vote would now be inappropriate.
Are you seriously saying, that Cameron would welcome an invitation such as that? The implications and ramifications would be profound. Pity that UKIP has not been supporting Mr Wheeler enthusiastically in his noble enterprise. However, considering that all our MEPs' declined an invitation from the House of Lords, to make personal submissions about the Lisbon Treaty, it tells us much about our leadership. The Cause, not the party must always come first. That is another lesson that Mr Wheeler has, hopefully, taught us!
