Don't you think that this would in fact be the case, though, with a

read it until hell froze over.

Your argument is soooo predictable. Lets talk about balance in the press.
Yes newspapers like the Sun and Mail are populist anti european, so what?
The granuiad, independent and mirror are quite strongly in favour of the EU,
and the BBC which has more influence over news output, then every other
newspaper and tv station put together has a very very strong pro eu stance.


That still does not change the fact that 99.99% of the population of this country is not competent to pass judgment on this treaty. And I gladly include myself in that 99.99%.
