Under a cloak of secrecy, the Government finally ratified the Lisbon Treaty earlier this week and committed the country to a new deluge of European meddling.In a sign of the Prime Minister’s personal embarrassment over the betrayal, the historic step was only made public yesterday – 24 hours after the covert ceremony had taken place. The instrument of ratification was signed by the Queen, who had no choice. Because Mr Brown had signed the treaty, she was constitutionally forced to follow suit.
The document was then flown in a diplomatic bag to Rome and delivered to the Italian Foreign Ministry at noon on Wednesday. Mr Brown was last night facing widespread revolt and even the threat of further legal action after forcing the treaty into law without the promised referendum.

Labour were elected under a strong direct promise to the people to hold a referendum on this - Blair and Brown have renaged on that promise and committed us to the end of the United Kingdom as a country with its own laws. We are now subject to nameless politicians in Strasbourg who can overule anything we do, or say. Bye bye freedom and national identity. Big brother is here, and there is nothing, yet, we can do about it. I expect to be arrested and "disappear" for speaking my anti social mind.
