Let the backlash on spineless Cameron commence!

And already, they're off and rolling. The backlash against David Cameron over the apparent back-pedalling on the "cast-iron guarantee" of a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty seems to have started.

Having been betrayed by Labour and the Lib Dems on the issue, those of us who value our national identity and sovereignty - while not necessarily Conservative supporters - had hoped that the Conservatives would at least give us our say via a referendum... not, we still contend, that a referendum is required anyway.

However, as seemed to have emerged yesterday, Cameron's "cast-iron guarantee" was of the same value as Labour's referendum promise and that of the Liberal Democrats. Worth absolutely f*** all.

This country's political class seems to be over-run by the spineless, the meaningless, the corrupt and the out-and-out treacherous. Very few amongst them would know the truth if it poked them in the eye.

Bill Cash MP - the Conservative patriot who is labelled as "eurosceptic" in the media - has already insisted that David Cameron must stick to the referendum promise already made. "No if or buts," he says in The Guardian.

The newspaper also quotes the Bruges Group, who are apparently on record as saying: "What is the point in David Cameron upending one pledge on Europe, but promising he'll offer us yet more European promises in his general election manifesto? Why will they be any more credible than the 'cast-iron guarantee' he has just broken? David Cameron's future European policy is now incoherent, disingenuous and utterly unconvincing. This is a dark day for the Tory party, but a worse one for Britain."

Open Europe are quick to point out exactly how Labour have betrayed us on the EU, digging out Gormless Clown's promises to the electorate of a referendum.

And, as those of us who were paying attention will know, Labour were only able to betray the people and deny us a referendum with the complicity in the House of Commons and in the House of Lords of the Lib Dems.

UKIP leader Nigel Farage strongly criticises all three of the established establishment parties. He says: "We can now see how gutless and dishonest the Conservative Party has been about their intentions on a referendum. First we had the Labour Party withdrawing their promise of a referendum, then the Lib Dems and now we have the Tories showing they are not to be trusted either. UKIP is the only party to be trusted on this issue and will continue to fight for this crucial referendum that all the other parties promised but will never deliver."

Fantastic Nigel. But why do we need a referendum anyway? The referendum issue is a con. We don't need one. We have a perfectly good constitutional document that has served us perfectly well for 321 years and that document says the Lisbon Treaty is not valid here - nor is the sway of any foreign power.

So, in the words of the Grange Hill Cast, 'Just Say No'. Or, to coin a phrase from the words of Boris Johnson, just tell the EU to get stuffed.
