Ah, the best laid plans ... Despite David Cameron saying his new plans re: Europe would not result in a "bust-up" between the Conservatives and Euro allies, the Tory leader has been publicly slammed by French Euro minister Pierre Lellouche.
Lellouche one of the more pro-Anglo bods in Sarkozy's cabinet has called Cameron's new European policies "pathetic" and has suggested they'll amount to the UK being amputated from the European body politic.
Cameron *had* promised that should the Tories get elected, we'd vote on whether Britain signs up to the Lisbon Treaty or not, but has had to back track now that the Treaty is due to become law regardless. Laying out his slightly altered Conservative vision, Cameron now says his government would fight for various powers to be returned to Britain, inflaming Pierre's rage.
In a Guardian interview, Lellouche gave an insight into how meetings between himself and the Tories have gone in the past. He says; "They have one line and they just repeat one line. It is a very bizarre sense of autism." I love the idea of William Hague, complete with sad baseball cap, just repeating the phrase: "Europe bad. Pound good."
Should Dave give up on the steamroller that is our future in Europe? Or is he right to continue to defend the UK's sovereignty?
