Britain & the EU - What's Happening?

[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

Guys, it's time to bring us all up to date on this whole EU thing. It's all over the news today that your Uncle Tony is going to put forth a public referendum on whether to accept and endorse the upcoming EU constitution - and I am presuming this includes the sacrifice of the UKP as well as a degree of political independence, in favour of domination by the lords of the EU (France & Germany?).

Just what's happening here? What's the REAL story? If this goes through, does it mean the practical end of Great Britain as an independent entity? In that respect, are the Yurrupeens about to win through the vote what they couldn't win militarily for the last millenium?

Enquiring minds want to know your opinions, and those you perceive as being from the proverbial 'man on the street'.

I personally find this both scary and fascinating at the same time.

Cheers,

Geoff
