We fight for Westminster as before

'But Mr Barroso warned Britain not to block progress towards a treaty.
In an interview with the BBC, he said: "Sometimes I hear people saying that for Parliament to approve it would be by the back door.
"Britain is the country that exported Parliamentary democracy to the world. Do the British people consider Parliament the back door?
"Do the British people who killed their king to protect the rights of Parliament consider it the back door?
"Is that the respect some people show their Parliament, maybe the greatest Parliament in the world? I don't consider Parliament the back door."
He added that leaders had to stand up to the sort of "ugly nationalism" that traded on "imaginary threats" like the idea the EU was becoming a superstate.'

Back in the good old days, when Carney sideshows were common and much more titillating than they are now, midget fighting would often be on the bill. Sadly, we now have to limit ourselves to intellectual midget fighting.

What kind of an intellectual Goliath would conjure the vision of Englishmen stalwartly fighting for and defending their beloved Westminster parliament, but only because it legitimizes the institution he deems most malleable to painlessly remove Britain's sovereignty and independence? That would be the almost comically stupid Manuel Barroso. Manuel, you and your cronies may think us yokels too stupid to notice that this time, at this juncture we are handing over the last pieces of our national sovereignty. You are wrong. And there will be very profound consequences if you keep ignoring the perfectly rational anger of the people.

Gordon Brown- you have been warned. The point is: Englishmen have fought long and very hard for their parliament- why do you think we are going to stop now?
