"Vous avez chaud ?" demande le Président ... "Ok ... ghinhinhin !!"

.Selon le dictionnaire:
« Le sectarisme est l'attitude d'un individu ou d'un groupe qualifié de sectaire, c'est-à-dire faisant preuve d'intolérance et d'étroitesse d'esprit en matière de politique, de religion, de philosophie... »

Précision faite,
Qui est sectaire quand on apprend que des députés, représentants du peuple, ont subi des « menaces », des « chantages » pour les obliger à voter une réforme qu'ils ne voulaient pas?!

Qui est sectaire quand on sait que cette réforme constitutionnelle réservera l'ordre du jour à moitié pour le gouvernement et à moitié pour la majorité, soit toujours à la même sensibilité politique?!

Qui est sectaire quand on sait que la dite réforme ne permettra pas le débat lorsque le Président de la République s'exprimera devant le Parlement?!

Finalement, qui fait preuve d'étroitesse d'esprit quand on voit tous les jours que la politique de ce gouvernement ne change pas, alors même que le pouvoir d'achat stagne, qu'il y a 8 millions de pauvres dans ce pays, que les prisons sont en grave surpopulation, qu'il manque 500 000 logements pour résoudre la crise en France...

Pour conclure, avant d'accuser qui que ce soit de sectarisme, "chacun devrait balayer devant sa porte" comme dirait un certain Jack Lang...

Le sentiment général tend vers une trahison, plus ou moins importante, des représentants du peuple, nos fameux députés, toujours avides de "La Place" et d'un traitement gargantuesque(le salaire des fonctionnaires) qui va avec. Promesses et bons sentiments avant les élections, Pouvoir, Argent et Complaisance après.
Alors des associations souvent apolitiques et qui prennent notamment racine dans le corporatisme, se forment ici et là pour attirer l'attention du reste de la profession sur telles ou telles réformes ubuesques ou plus globalement pour alerter l'opinion publique.

La vidéo qui suit en est le parfait exemple. La scène se déroule le 14 juin 2008 au théâtre des amandiers de Nanterre, un "débat" pour le moins vivant est organisé sur la réforme de l'école primaire. L'invité principal est Xavier Darcos, ministre de l'Education Nationale. La plupart de l'auditoire est constitué de professionnels et un vent de révolte souffle progressivement au fur et à mesure des propositions du ministre. 8 minutes 45 de parlé vrai.
Sont abordés notamment les sujets des options, de l'art et de la culture à l'école, la suppression des heures de cours le samedi, de la diminution des budgets et des postes et de l'expansion de plus en plus importante des sociétés privés, véritables sous-traitants de l'Education Nationale.

Un grand merci à Aurélie pour le signalement de cette vidéo "collector"

Le pouvoir actuel - mais aussi ses prédécesseurs - détricote l'Ecole publique et laïque de la République pour favoriser par des textes de lois et des aides financières, l'Ecole privée (souvent religieuse) et les entreprises spécialisées dans le soutien scolaire (Acadomia, Completude, KeepSchool,Profadom, Anacours). Et ce sont ainsi les fondements même de la République, avec le principe fondamental de l'éducation pour tous, riches ou pauvres, qui sont atteints.
Quelques exemples du pillage des fonds publics vers le privé: ici et là

Parce que rendre les futurs citoyens aussi stupides que des moutons, c'est également les rendre aveugles sur leur propre monde, impuissants sur leur avenir et dociles pour chacune des prochaines élections. Un objectif malheureusement compréhensible et déjà réalisé machiavéliquement aux USA. Etats-Unis admirées et annoncées comme modèle par notre nouveau président de la République.

Pour rappel: Xavier Darcos, un homme bien sous tout rapport, a été inculpé en 1982 pour fraude au baccalauréat. Une relaxe a ensuite prononcée. Pas "joli, joli" de donner les textes en avance à ses propres élèves... (Voir ici)

Cette mauvaise nouvelle pour tous ceux dont le régime religieux en réprouve la consommation a été donnée par la direction générale de la concurrence, de la consommation et de la répression des fraudes (DGCCRF) dans une enquête publiée lundi dernier.

Les péripéties versaillaises du couronnement du petit roitelet Sarkozy avait relégué l'information au second plan.

Les soubresauts qui agitent le ps depuis ces péripéties risquaient de la faire tomber définitivement aux oubliettes.

Aussi, je remercie le hasard qui m'a fait croiser l'article du Monde à propos des saucisses falsifiées.

Et j'espère que la DGCCRF aura l'idée d'une autre enquête pour aller voir ce qu'il reste de gauche dans la pensée socialiste.

Moins de 47%, j'en ai bien peur !

A second vote would have to take place in an attempt to reverse Ireland's rejection of the treaty in June by a margin of 53.4 per cent to 46.6 per cent, the French President told MPs from his party at a private meeting.

Mr Sarkozy, who is acting as President of the EU while France holds its presidency for six months, has denied in public that there is a secret plan to force a second vote and has said that the solution must be proposed by the Irish Government at the next EU summit in October. “The Irish will have to vote again,” he Details emerged in Paris of a plan to stage a rerun of the vote backed by guarantees that Ireland will keep its EU commissioner as well as its military neutrality, its veto over tax policy and its right to set its abortion laws.

Pressure on Ireland has been increased by the continuing pace of ratification by other parliaments. Britain passed the document the weekafter the Irish “no” vote, followed by Cyprus, Belgium and the Netherlands.

The treaty, which was intended to streamline decision-making in an enlarged EU, cannot be implemented until it is ratified by all member states. It has yet to be passed by the parliaments of the Czech Republic, Italy, Spain and Sweden, and is awaiting formal presidential signature in Germany and Poland.

Senior EU politicians have called for a second vote in the spring because they want to conduct next June's European Parliament elections under the more streamlined rules.

An official in Paris confirmed that Mr Sarkozy made the remark, while the French President's office declined to comment. Mr Sarkozy's office said that he would not present a plan to the Taoiseach, Brian Cowen. “The President is coming to listen to the Irish, to listen to what Brian Cowen tells him. He is not coming to make proposals,” one adviser to Mr Sarkozy said.

As soon as he had been elected, SARKOZY reduced taxes and offered gifts to his rich friends (those who invited him on their yacht and planes). And he quickly changed his speech, speaking to the working class with those words :

"About the purchasing power, what are you waiting from me, to empty the yet empty State cash box?"

SARKOZY is an inside out ROBIN WOOD: stealing money in the poor people's pockets, for give to the rich people, the money they don't need at all.

I hope people will dance on that tektonic song this summer, taking force for fight against that disgusting President.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Probably the best record ever made by a first lady, better yet probably the only record ever made by a first lady.

The album has generated massive interest because it is the first by the Italian-born former model turned pop star since her whirlwind romance with President Nicolas Sarkozy, whom she married in February less than three months after they met.

The new record, entitled Comme si de rien n'etait (As if nothing had happened) and released under the first lady's maiden name Carla Bruni, hit the shelves on July 11 in a blaze of publicity.

The SNEP, an industry group that tracks record sales, said that in the week starting July 13 the album knocked Viva la Vida, the latest offering from British band Coldplay, off the top spot in the charts.

Bruni-Sarkozy has said she wrote the lyrics of the new songs partly before she met Sarkozy and partly since they fell in love. This has prompted intense scrutiny of the lyrics by French media obsessed with the presidential love life.

"You are my drug, more lethal than heroin from Afghanistan and more dangerous than Colombian cocaine," she sings in one of the songs that caused a minor diplomatic incident between France and Colombia.

In another song, she seems to dismiss criticism from some of her left-wing friends who were bewildered by her romance with the right-leaning Sarkozy.

"It's not correct, but it's good nonetheless. Let them curse me and I don't give a damn. I couldn't care less, I take all the blame, you need to know, you need to understand, you are my lord, you are my love, you are my orgy," she sings.

In fact, Capone is far from the worst or loudest in this department although it does seem to be something that particularly afflicts Staffs and similar breeds.  I sat in the vets the other day and this poor animal sounded like it was being slowly strangled, gagging and panting as if on the point of death.

You have to be so careful when you leave them in the car in this weather.  Tescos provides very little shaded parking and even with two front windows left wide open, I have to be in and out in a flash.  The only alternative is to tie him to the hitching post outside (you know, where the cowboys tie up their horses) but Capone, being the superstar that he is, attracts so much attention, so many "oohs" and "aahs" that it can take twenty minutes to break out of the conversations and escape.

Other than the arrival of summer, there is some truly momentous news to impart.  Capone has a friend, a companion, a permanent partner.  She arrived just a few weeks ago and has the same provenance as him, rescued by special forces extraction from the hellhole known as West London.  Only nine months old, she too had spent her life locked in some grotty flat for twenty-three and a half hours a day, released only for a short walk to the fag shop and back.

Allow me to introduce you to Carla.  Yes, if President Sarkozy can have one so can I and she struts and preens and prances as any good supermodel should.

On arrival Capone thought I'd finally found him the teenage sex slave that we've both been hoping for but being a gentleman he soon relented and has given her a warm and loving welcome.  It has to be said that this is not always entirely deserved for she can be a right little bitch at times - and I am moderating my language as much as possible within the bounds of accuracy.

After a few weeks proper exercise with a little discipline and training she has developed into a delightful member of the family.  All credit has to go to Capone for his wonderful temperament, forbearance and patience.  Even when they are both exhausted from a lengthy walk, the exuberance of youth still causes her to clamp his leg in her jaws, chew on his cheek or plant her nether regions in his face in the hope of a little playtime.  They playfight and tumble, chase each other and fight endlessly over sticks but they are now firm friends.

At first, when the obligatory rich tea biscuits were handed out, Carla would snatch, grab and my fingers would be in great danger.  Now she accepts these sweetmeats with all the delicacy and elegance of Madame Sarkozy taking a spoonful of foie gras.

Capone has taught Carla to swim.  At first she would try to jump on his back, then after a few frantic paddles she would panic and return to shore.  To Capone's consternation she has now become a faster swimmer than him and she delights in letting him set off then plunging in and overtaking him to retrieve the stick first.

There is a remedy for this which has to be applied regularly.  It involves a trip to the end of Hayling Island, out of the calm waters of Chichester harbour, to where the surf thunders in and for my best boy and girl, the waves are twice or three times their height.

Here Capone's great bravery and strength triumphs.  He will go out through anything, rising and falling in the swell, capturing the stick and returning to the shore through the white water and massive undertow where a frantic, near hysterical Carla promptly steals it from him while he recovers.

Just like a woman - but she is our little girl.

Carla Bruni finde ich übrigens, nachdem ich ihr letztes Album noch gerne gehört habe, inzwischen leider unsympathisch. Liegt wohl an der Assoziation mit Sarkozy. Schade. Damit ist das neue Album konsequenterweise erstmal verpönt.

Et j'arrête là avec les mots dont je suis obligé d'aller vérifier l'orthographe dans le dictionnaire où vous irez regarder la définition.

Bref.

En cherchant des questions pour un quizz cinéma, j'ai pensé aux Ch'tis, dont on nous a assez rebattu les oreilles qu'à force de records ils avaient fait plus d'entrées que La Grande vadrouille et dépassé les 20 millions de spectateurs.

Au point qu'après avoir été fait chevalier des Arts et lettres en juin par la ministre de la Culture, Dany Boon a reçu la Légion d'honneur pour le 14 juillet.

C'est que sous le sarkozysme, le talent se mesure au chiffre d'affaires. C'est une manière de voir les choses qui ne me donne pas plus envie que ça de me précipiter au cinéma pour faire comme tout le monde. Même si j'ai corrigé quelque peu mes tendances à la singularité systématique, je me souviens de m'être bien emmerdé en voulant faire des efforts de conformisme en allant voir La Vie est un long fleuve tranquille ou Les Visiteurs, entre autres…

La Grande vadrouille, j'ai adoré. C'était ma première séance de cinéma à Paris…

Bref.

Peu de chance donc que j'aille voir Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis avant qu'il disparaisse de l'affiche.

Surtout quand ça devient une cause nationale, un enjeu de chauvinisme déplacé.

Et que pour dépasser le record absolu de 20,7 millions de spectateurs détenu par Titanic, le prix des places est abaissé à 3€ pendant une semaine.

Sans vouloir faire de mauvais jeu de mots, pour le coup c'est dans le ridicule que l'on sombre.

Et pour atteindre le fond, Pathé déplore les condition inégales du record, sous prétexte que Titanic n'a pas souffert de piratage sur Internet à l'époque de sa sortie en 1998.

Voilà une peine de substitution toute trouvée pour les quatre Montpelliérains qui viennent d'être mis en examen pour contrefaçon de Bienvenue etc. : aller voir le film jusqu'à offrir son juste record à la France.

Si vous croisez ce dvd avant le 29 octobre
soyez de bons citoyens : dénoncez les vendeurs !

The newly adopted article 88-5 states that unless a 3/5 majority is reached in favor of a new country joining the EU, then the issue is required to be decided by referendum of the people.

It could have been worse. France's ruling party, Union pour le Mouvement Populaire has been stolidly against the adhesion of Turkey to the European Union and tried to push through a provision with 88-5 that would require a referendum for any country that would represent more than 5 percent of the EU's population (therefore, Turkey and Ukraine).

This is significant because in addition to French lawmakers being generally against Turkey as a member of the EU, the people are not sold on the idea either. According to polls, the French are one of the countries the most strongly against the Turkish addition. Furthermore, the sentiment that the E.U. Constitution might make it easier for Turkey to join was one of the principal reasons the French voted down the Constitution by referendum in May 2005.

Or, le chef de l'Etat vient de s'illustrer auprès du propriértaire du magazine Le Point, François Pinault, en voulant débarquer Franz-Olivier Giesbert. D'un autre côté, on pouvait se réjouir de ce débarquage dans la mesure où, FOG, avait mouillé le maillot pour l'actuel locataire de l'Elysée, en brocardant Jacques Chirac. Au grand jour néanmoins, on voit bien l'ingratitude du président.

On ne le dira jamais assez et beaucoup de personnes qui portent des oeillères le comprendront tardivement, la France entre peu à peu en dictature. C'est un fait.

Au-delà de toutes les accusations fantaisistes dont nous sommes la cible avec quelques blogueurs, nous dirons toujours la vérité, quelque soit le prix à payer.

Ce prix peut être lourd. Dans une république bananière comme la notre, il est forcément clair et évident que la machine de la censure est forte et est prête à tous les excès, pour mettre hors d'état de nuire, tous ceux qui refusent d'entrer dans un moule, en disant la vérité, rien que la vérité.

PARALLAX.

The last time I was in Paris, I had the good fortune of witnessing the presidential election that thrust Sarkozy into office (a good decision on the part of the French people). I got to go to an election night party (which was awesome) and generally feel the vibe of a world capital on election day. It was beyond exhilirating.

Oh, the poster above translates (as well I as I can) to: "We won't survive this ... and you won't any more."

I always have adventures in Paris. Every time I step onto the streets, which is where I feel very much at home, something cool happens. I'll see something interesting, have a wild experience or just get some great fucking writing done. i wrote my article for Boink magazine, which seems like it was published so long ago (before I hooked up with XBIZ, let alone AVN). I remember the cafe vividly; it was right around the corner from the Intercontinental Hotel in Place de l'Opera, where I was staying (on my first trip).

Here are some shots of the campaign signs from the hotly contested Sarkozy/Segoline (I hope I spelled that correctly) bout. It was insane! The first one? "Together, anything is possible." (again, to the best of my limited abilities)

The way they scratch the eyes out just shows a level of brutality-- and commitment-- that we just don't see here. Some see it as degrading. I call it true democracy in action.

Written over Sarko's face in the campaign posters to the right is "ETAT NAZI." That's a pretty powerful statement. These signs, if I remember correctly, were up in Montmartre. I spent a good week in that part of town and absolutely love it. In a way, it felt like my neighborhood, the Upper West Side. So, the next time I go to Paris, I'll probably stay in Montmartre again, though not at the same hotel.

Okay, enough of the politics. It's not really my thing anyway. I want to move to the crazy Parisians I ran into. That's where I had the most fun. For me, Paris is all about the people. I think I'm the only American who loves Parisians, but that's fine with me. I think they are nice, open, polite folks, and I have always felt welcome in their hometown. I've spent about three weeks in Paris over the past few years, and I can't wait to get back. I'm still exploring other places, but the pull of Paris remains quite strong. For now, it'll have to wait, but I do plan to go back soon.

This chick's deal was pretty straightforward. Her favorite storyteller believed in sharing his intimacy. So, she decided to move her bed into Place des Abesses in Montmartre (where I was staying) to share in the dead guy's experience. It attracted weirdos. What a shock ...

Of course, she wasn't the only nutjob. I now introduce you to "the fiancee." A nursing student who is struggling to pay for her honeymoon, she was led around the Quartier Latin by her friends. Those willing to help fund the experience dropped cash into the coffin around her neck.

I guess she wanted to go on a honeymoon pretty damned badly, because this is further than I'd go, and I really don't have a whole lot of shame. I wore a dress to a movie theater once, though.

This is part of the reason why I dig Paris. The people are nuts, but in the happy way. You can walk the streets and always see something.

I thought this girl's project was pure genius. It is equal parts clever, pathetic and entertaining. How can you not donate? I threw her a couple of Euros, adn I got to take a few pictures in trade. So, I think it worked out pretty well.

This wasn't the only picture for which I paid. I liked keeping track of the various beggars around the city, as they seemed particularly organized. On one occasion, I saw about 30 of them gathered outside Gare du Nord (one of the big train stations). It was like they were gathering before their shift.

Hey, even the beggars are unionized!

There was a pretty big concentration of them at the Eiffel Tower, which is the only reason why I found the tower interesting.

The pitch is pretty typical. A girl comes up to you and asks, "Do you speak English?" Regardless of how you reply, she holds a card open. It contains a sob story about being a refugee from Bosnia, the burden of several children, the absence of a husband, etc. Well, I'm not above paying for what I want. For the rich price of EUR2, I was able to get a shot of the card that she uses to pitch. But, when the camera was turned on her face, she became quite upset and tried to hide.

Whatever your feeling on that election, and the issue of gender and security that took place in the minds of the french polity, one cannot argue the rammifications of this action in an increasingly xenophobic nation. I personaly have no personal experiences with the burqa or the lifestyle it entails, but this condemnation of culture as not worthy for French citizenship is a staggering step in modern immigration doctrine. It is interesting that we here in the United States are going through some of the same growing pains with concerns over employment, immigration, as well as struggling to maintain a "American" identity in the face of large scale immigration. France, like the United States, has established its culturally unilateralist credentials.

Nous sommes le jeudi 16 octobre 2008. 

Après que l'hélicoptère CH-146 des Forces armées canadiennes se soit posée au domaine de Sagard, Nicolas Sarkozy entre dans le grand salon afin d'y être dignement reçu par son hôte, Paul Desmarais.  Demain, débutera le sommet de la francophonie à Québec et le grand manitou de Power Corporation en profite pour recevoir quelques amis. 

PD : Bonsoir Nicolas, heureux de vous revoir.

NS : Mes hommages, Légionnaire de la Grand-Croix.  Vous semblez en grande forme!

PD : Merci Monsieur le Président.  Je sens que je pourrais faire des ravages ce soir!

NS : Vous savez, être membre de l'aristocratie peut rendre la jeunesse éternelle.  Vos sujets ont pu le remarquer lorsque Sir McCartney vous a visité cet été.  Et quelle bonne idée que de l'avoir invité aux festivités.

PD : L'événement a dépassé toutes les attentes.  Non seulement une grande partie du royaume a pu s'amuser, les nationalistes ont dénoncé la présence d'un britannique et se sont révoltés devant une prestation en anglais.  Ils sont amusants...

NS : Vous savez Monsieur Desmarais, rien ne vaut un petit scandale ethnique pour faire oublier les problèmes politiques et économiques!  Pendant que l'opposition investit ses énergies dans la fierté nationale, nous pouvons brasser de bonnes affaires sans réelle opposition.  En passant, comment vont les négociations avec Gazprom?

PD : Ça va.  Les livraisons débuteront dans quatre à cinq ans.  On ne peut pas dire la même chose des opportunités médicales.  Pas facile de privatiser certains services.  Ça viendra, John est tenace et les gens commencent à s'impatienter devant les problèmes que connaissent les hôpitaux publics...  Vous savez, grâce à la concentration des médias québécois, nous pouvons convaincre les gens que les services publics coûtent cher, que la compétition est souhaitable et que la richesse collective augmentera si certains services sont privatisés...

NS : Ouais, c'est une recette qui fonctionne à merveille pour Berlusconi...  Et la gauche, elle ne réagit pas?

PD : La gauche québécoise est déchirée.  Elle ne sait plus comment prioriser ces énergies.  La question linguistique, l'accession à l'indépendance, l'environnement...  Mais elle se fait assez discrète sur la conduite des affaires.  Même la réduction des impôts des entreprises et l'enrichissement de l'aristocratie ne semble pas trop la froisser.  En autant que Bombardier décroche quelques contrats et tout le monde est content!  Quelle bonne idée que d'avoir donné Canadair au Québec!  C'est maintenant une fierté nationale!  De toutes façons, la gauche est représentée par une féministe et un iranien...  aucune chance!  Ah, tiens, bonsoir John.

JC : Bonsoir Maître.  Bonsoir Monsieur le Président.

NS : Bonsoir John.

JC : Serait-ce possible de m'appeler Monsieur le Premier Ministre?

PD : Encore un mandat et tu pourras joindre l'aristocratie John.  Sois patient.  Ensuite, tu pourras passer chez Heenan Blaikie, siéger sur quelques conseils d'administration et t'en mettre plein les poches.  Tu n'auras plus à quêter de l'argent au Parti!  Rien de plus gênant pour un aristocrate que de manquer de fric.  Ça ne t'arrivera plus, je te le promet...  Général Moubarak, quel plaisir...  

Beep beep beep...  Ça m'arrive toujours lorsque je bois de l'eau de source avant d'aller au lit...  Quel cauchemar... d'yeux merci, jamais de telles choses ne pourraient se produire!

I was also talking about Nicolas Sarkozy's visit in English, a few studios away. Did Sarkozy convince the Irish that they were fools, that they should come into the fold? I'm not sure. Did Sarkozy hold Brian Cowen's head down a toilet and tell him to get his act together? This is entirely possible. Watch it here

 Que peut-il bien y avoir dans la tête des types qui ont fait chuter de près de 10% l'action Google parce que le géant du web avait eu la mauvaise idée de venir au rapport avec des chiffres désastreux? Jugez plutôt : + 39% de CA et + 35% de bénéfices! Et dire qu'ils jouent avec la même désinvolture à faire grimper ou s'effondrer le prix des céréales. 

Que peut-il bien y avoir dans la tête des types du PS qui ont voté non comme un seul homme ou presque aux modifications de la Constitution? Juste le principe de refuser tout ce que propose L'Elysée? Quelle est donc, de toutes les modifications proposées et adoptées, celle qui pourrait heurter la sensibilité d'un démocrate et qui même ne va pas dans le sens d'un mieux? Avaient-ils même compris que leur ennemi sortirait gagnant à tous les coups de cette histoire? Que si le vote avait finalement été négatif, ils en auraient été tenus pour responsables? J'ai beaucoup de mal avec Berluskozy mais là, pour le PS, c'est le pompon de la connerie!

Tout ça me rappelle la fameuse phrase de Konrad Lorenz : «J'ai trouvé le chaînon manquant entre le singe et l'Homme : c'est nous !»

I was in a debate on France 24 about Nicolas Sarkozy's visit to Dublin, to convince the Irish as to their foolish ways. This one is in French.
Regardez ici

Click here to read the statement by the CAEUC (to which the People Before Profit Alliance is affiliated)

French President Nicholas Sarkozy has proposed to the Irish prime minister that a second referendum on the Lisbon Treaty be held on the same day as elections to the European Parliament next June.

Mr Sarkozy made the suggestion during a private discussion with Prime Minister, or Taoiseach, Brian Cowen, according to reports in the Irish Times, during a six-hour whistle-stop trip to Dublin to meet with government leaders and campaigners from both sides of the treaty battle.

At the same time, publicly, the French president denied that he had said Ireland must vote again.

"I never said that Ireland had to organise a new referendum. I said that at some stage or another the Irish had to be given the opportunity to give their opinion."

Lying much Sarkozy you little sh*t? Just typical of the attitude of these Corrupto-crats. As far as they are concerned, you either vote as they tell you, or you vote as they tell you. A quote from Henry Ford is appropriate;

"Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black."

Last week, he told a private session with deputies from his UMP party in Paris that Ireland would have to hold a second referendum, according to an attendee of the meeting.

However, in Dublin the president said he accepted that there could be no resolution to the issue under his country's six-month presidency of the European Union, due to end in December.

"We don't want to push you into anything," said Mr Sarkozy at a joint press conference with Mr Cowen.

The No campaigners, for their part, felt that the French president was not listening to their concerns.

"The most worrying thing about this meeting is the fact that clearly the message is not properly being heard, perhaps not even being heard at all. We have said no,'' said Declan Ganley the millionaire backer of Libertas, whose arguments against the treaty focussed on taxation and regulation as well as democracy issues.

"That this process should continue, this wish to force through this agenda. There is just something fundamentally wrong and broken with that," he added.

Not if you view the EU as a dictatorship there isn't.

Do not forget, the Lisbon Treaty contains a self amendment clause (known as Article 48) which would empower the unelected EU rulers to change the consolidated Treaty without having to present it to the people of Europe as a referendum. Then of course there is the small issue of Declaration 17.

Why of Earth would any Government that actually serves the interest of its people, believe the country would be governed better by a bunch of faceless socialists in Brussels? What can the EU do for your country that you own government could not do for you?

Nothing. That's what. Absolutely nothing. All it does do is give a smaller number of people an increasing amount of power over a larger number of people. The totalitarian dictatorship of the EU is already apparent in documents NOW, imagine how bad it could get down the line? Read this Euro-creep bulletin to see what the EU wants from Britain.

We are running out of time.

It all goes back to Tony Blair's botched relationship with the US.  Blair's strategy did have some logic:  Maintain influence in the region by way of an extremely close relationship with Washington, the main player.   This was logical as long as Blair was willing to demand concessions from Bush when it mattered. But he was unable or unwilling to do this and the British basically became American groupies.  Do rock stars usually have respect for what their groupies think?

On the other hand, France played its cards quite well.  Chirac's vocal opposition of the Iraq war maintained French street cred in the region.  And by refusing to subvert itself to Washington and  "playing hard to get," the French government earned respect and credibility  from the Americans and other Middle Eastern governments. 

The result?  Sarkozy has the heads of state from 40 Middle Eastern countries visiting him in  Paris.  Brown goes to the region and noone blinks an eye.
