Is the Parrot Dead...or Just Stunned?

Sir,
Political commentators are saying the EU constitution is dead and the British do not need a referendum. Like the parrot, can we be sure it is not just stunned?

According to Dan Hannan MEP, even before the constitution has been fully ratified, the commisars of Brussels are already:

• Turning EU Trade Delegations into Embassies - we need a referendum on that.
• Setting up an EU Foreign Ministry - we need a referendum on that.
• Harmonising criminal justice - we need a referendum on that.
• Incorporating the Charter of Fundamental Rights - we need a referendum on that!

The EU is a monument to Stealth. It is time the people of this country had their say.
Yours sincerely,
Tony Woodcock (Cllr. Civic Centre, Poole)
