The EU = China 1989

This appears to be Daniel Hannan's latest point.

On the referendum (a bad idea although one I think the pro-treaty faction would win) I don't really understand the issue about Cameron breaking his 'cast-iron' guarantee of a referendum. He's been hinting that he wouldn't hold one if it had been ratified since the day he made the pledge. I think the worst that can be said was that he was too cowardly to admit explicitly that it was only if it hadn't already been ratified, and has avoided making a policy because of an eagerness that something might turn up. A ditherer, but that's no bad thing.

The Shame of the Left

May I pre-empt Nick Cohen by noting that with the honourable exception of the Social Democratic Party and the Green Party, no-one on The (German) Left has denounced the decision of a German judge to not grant a women a quick divorce because violence was to be expect and allowed as noted in the Koran (English mini-translation here).
