Anger at Blair's 'secret deal' to sign new EU constitution

Tony Blair has been engulfed in a row over Europe after it became clear he is under huge pressure to sign a "son of constitution" treaty next week.

A leaked letter by current EU president Angela Merkel revealed that a deal is being drafted to revive almost all the controversial elements of the flopped European Constitution.

The disclosure sparked demands for a UK referendum on the new treaty - and angry claims that EU leaders were trying to smuggle in a massive new extension of Brussels power "by the back".

...

But the Merkel letter, which was leaked in Brussels, made plain that there is already broad agreement that "much of the substance" of the defunct constitution should be resurrected.

...

It was abandoned after being rejected in referendums in France and Holland. Britain had promised a referendum but Mr Blair says the new document will be just "an amending treaty" and need not be put to a vote.

He is expected to demand an opt-out from the Charter of Fundamental Rights and No 10 insisted that nothing had been agreed yet. "This document is a private report and we should not read too much into it at this stage" said a spokesman.

However, German officials were yesterday boasting that the new deal would give the European Union a "single legal personality".

Apparently the only people who are against this new constitution are terrorists.

Critics of the EU’s secret plans to bring back the failed European constitution by stealth at this week’s summit were blasted by the Italian President, Giorgio Napolitano.

The Italian head of state told a news conference in Siena last week that "those who are anti EU are terrorists".

And he attacked eurosceptics who warn that the promised new EU treaty will go too far in eroding the powers of member states, saying: "It is psychological terrorism to suggest the spectre of a European superstate."

Wow....They're not even being careful anymore in their abuse of this tactic. I am opposed to people calling people terrorists who are opposed to the EU constitution. I would speculate that in the eyes of certain world leaders, this makes me either a "psychological terrorist", an "Islamofascist" or "the artist formerly known as Prince". Their absurdity knows no bounds.

Just like Bush said anyone against his immigration reform wants the wost for America. It's a world-wide conspiracy, I tell ya.
