It won't make any difference. Even if Ireland votes against the FU Treaty, it’ll be imposed anyway. It’s what happened when the country voted against Nice in 2001, and against Lisbon in 2008. Brussels won’t take ‘No’ for an answer. This time, Eurocrats won’t even need to demand a rerun (‘go away and try again, [...]

The United Kingdom joined the EEC on a false premise. In 1972, most British people believed that they were trading sovereignty for prosperity: in exchange for ceding a limited degree of democratic self-rule, they'd be joining a large and prosperous market. Does anyone still believe in that equation today? With every week that passes, it [...]

This morning we wake up to news that – finally – Eurozone finance ministers have agreed to bail out Greece for the second time to the tune of €130 billion.

How much worse do things have to get, for Heaven’s sake? Greek politicians keep repeating that leaving the euro would be an economic disaster. As opposed to what, precisely?

The Cousins have finally clocked the EU for what it is: a corporatist, protectionist, anti-American racket. Heaven knows it took them long enough.
