the lisbon treaty is scary! take some time and read it
france voted not to join eu, but agreed the lisbon treaty,macron has admitted he dare not hold a referendum as they would be out in a flash,dutch are complaining,italy aint happy,eu while a brilliant concept has been ruined by inept self serving political fatcats
After all the talk about the Good Friday Agreement and it being broken if there is a hard border across Irelend, I decided to read the GFA, only to find that there is nothing specific in it about the border, how it operates, hard, soft or non-existent!
In fact the border is only mentioned a couple of times in relation to the setting up of cross border cooperation bodies.
So a hard border might break the spirit of the GFA, but it cannot break the treaty itself as there is nothing in the texts to be broken by a hard border.
I've started to wade through the Lisbon Treaty for my bedtime reading. Juncker has described it as a 'Treasure Trove' and a 'Sleeping Beauty'!, so there must be some disturbing stuff in there!
