| Gordon Brown is preparing to break the law over IrelandÂ’s EU vote |
| 2008-06-17 |
| By their bullying treatment of Ireland, the powers that be in the European Union are openly threatening to breach the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. As Italy's finance minister said over the weekend, Europe risks degenerating into "fascism" in the next economic downturn. Indeed it does. Its actions over Ireland already smack of fascism. It will be resisted. The outpourings of fury in eurosceptic press/blogs in France (I have never felt so much at one with the French Socialists, or indeed the Dutch hard-Left) and in Italy (yes it exists, one Italian minister even congratulated the Irish) - not no mention Scandinavia, or the Czech Republic - lead me to suspect that the EU political class has misjudged. We may all have to tax our consciences very soon and decide whether to resist this Putsch by all possible means. |

| #1 The fact that some vomit-brained jackasses prefer to simmer in fascism rather than fry could thwart the freedom-minded opponents of this thug's bargain. |
