More Tory 'Smoke & Mirrors'.

'Up to 70 Conservative MPs are to join a new group dedicated to "reversing the process" of closer European Union integration in a move likely to place fresh strain on the coalition.' - So states The Sunday Telegraph.

Naturally, they are trying to 'prevent further EU integration' and 'to turn things back a bit where matters have gone too far'.
                           Balderdash!   Have they honestly never heard of acquis commaunitaire or 'the EU's ratchet principle' which NEVER allows the national repatriation of powers?
It is redolent of Will Hague's 'In the EU but not of it.' This is not possible.
I could say 'in or out' but the other option is to withdraw to 'associate membership' - otherwise pretty much recognised as The Common Market we actually voted for in 1975!
It is possible - and not being members of the Eurozone, there is little to stop us.

There Is Certainly No Such 'Forgiveness Requirement' For A Court Judge.
