Thread Name: BS: Nice Treaty
Subject: RE: BS: Nice Treaty
It appears that Ireland has had its neutrality guaranteed, and that in return the rest of the EU seems set to chug along with integrating everyone from the Urals to the mid-Atlantic.
(Oops - I sound like a Europhobe there, and I'm most definitely not. Interestingly, despite the dire and dread warnings of the little bald Tory chap, Wossname, about "European superstates" and "rule from Brussels", the EU directorate in Brussels employs fewer bureaucrats than Manchester City Council. But I digress...)
