Via the BBC: Straw sees ‘no point’ in EU vote
Foreign Secretary Jack Straw says there is “no point” in pursuing plans for a referendum on the EU constitution after France and the Netherlands voted “No”.
Indeed.
Said Shadow Foreign Secretary, Dr. Liam Fox:
“Yet, the political dinosaurs at the helm in France and Germany and the army of Eurocrats whose careers depend on the gravy train act as though nothing has happened.“What is it about ‘no’ they don’t understand?
“I may no longer practice medicine, but I can tell a corpse when I see one and this constitution is a case for the morgue if ever I saw one – this is a dead constitution,” he told MPs.
Indeed again.

It’s not pinin’! It’s passed on! This document is no more! It has ceased to be! It’s expired and gone to meet it’s maker!
It’s a stiff! Bereft of life, ‘e rests in peace! If you hadn’t nailed it to the polls it’d be pushing up the bleedin’ daisies!
Its metabolic processes are now ‘istory! It’s off the twig!
It’s kicked the bucket, it’s shuffled off ‘is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisibile!!
THIS IS AN EX-CONSTITUTION!!
Sorry about that. It was silly, but somebody had to do it.
