Remember when David Cameron, the archetypal lying, fake, principle-free-zone politician told us about his 'cast-iron guarantee' that we would have a referendum, and how that 'cast-iron guarantee' turned out to be a lie, and how we were then promised a referendum 'next time', in other words sometime never that a similar treaty handing over whatever's left to hand over of our sovereignty to the crooked politicians, former communists and Hegel-worshipping bureaucrats of Brussels, with a knowing wink to the wings, as there will be no new treaty, Lisbon being the capstone on the pyramid?
Now Cameron is rubbing it in with his championing of Turkey's membership of the EU. Such a change would constitute a large enough change to warrant a referendum. What do you reckon the chances of that happening? Also, to further underline how he is nothing but Blair with a bigger forehead, he is threatening war against Iran.
What a cunt.

two things about Cameron's call for Turkey's membership:
1) He's on a sales mission and is saying exactly what Erdogan wants to hear.
and more importantly, 2) it is exactly what France and Germany don't want to hear.
Britain has always supprted Eu expansion because it dilutes the power of the core Franco-German alliance. It is a continuation of the classic 'balance of power' principle, which has led British foreign policy in Europe for 200 years.
Cameron's speech may sound pro-EU. In fact, it is the opposite. Turkey is the Trojan horse. If Turkey joins, the EU ceases to be 'European' and less of a 'union', more a trade pact -and certainly more unwieldy/ineffective.
I'm more pro- than anti-EU, and I certainly don't want turkey in there. And it's a bit daft to start talking about referendums on the subject. Even skeptics would be scratching their heads at that one.
As a Europhobe, you should hope Turkey DOES join. Morocco and Tunisia too. You should be cheering Cameron to the rafters. I groaned inwardly when I heard him banging on.
"As a Europhobe, you should hope Turkey DOES join. Morocco and Tunisia too."
On what basis? That it brings the 'inevitable' collapse that much closer? I don't favour such reasoning, it has a poor track record.

The EU has all the power it needs now, thanks to Lisbon. All the negative aspects of Bismarkian statism will grow. Cameron may well mean little by his words in Turkey, but he is showing himself utterly untrustworthy in dealing with the EU. Besides, that's not the biggest deal, that is what he's saying about Iran and Pakistan. He seems to think he's one of the big boys now, and just as eager as Blair to spill foreign blood.
