Sir,
Apparently a picture is worth a thousand words. In a
certain newspaper, several weeks ago, a cartoon showed a baleful Mr Cameron, walking out of the EU
parliament building dressed in naught but a fig leaf. Spot
on!
He had effectively made wild claims that he would
reform the EU single-handed. This a task which would have been patently
impossible for Clark Kent on a good day - and recognised by any who have the
most basic knowledge of the EU's policy of acquis commaunitaire.
(The what-we-have-we're-gonna-keep
principle.)
It is difficult to be sympathetic when someone has
begun with both arrogance and a clear desire to deceive the public.
This very same scam was not spotted by the electorate
in 1975 when Heath and Wilson conspired to con the British people in the last
referendum. He could perhaps have got away with it too - if his claims had not
been quite so outlandish.
The phrase done up like a kipper comes to
mind. The EU mandarins were far too good for him. (Wanna bet that he is
regretting his referendum now? After all, he had thought he had got real chums
in Brussels.)
Taking the kinder view of Chamberlain returning from
Munich back in 1939 - at least he may have bought us a few extra months to
prepare to fight Hitler. Cameron has only brought us trivialities with a few
extra ones yet to come in order to display his negotiating genius.
