"I'm pleased to see you admit that, without our influence, the EU will do stuff of which we do not approve. I have no confidence that an unwanted veto could not be circumvented."

You may have no confidence, old chap, but you can't point to a single instance during our forty-odd years of membership in which any "unwanted veto" of ours, or of anyone else's for that matter, has been circumvented. It's just more twaddle, isn't it, Stanron?
