THE BACK TO BRITAIN REFERENDUM MOVEMENT,

Hi Ed,

Frank told us you’ll head up the campaign for us - The British Conservative Party will do ANYTHING for Ireland, we just have to name what we want after how we told the Frogs what to do with Lisbon. Cheers, Michael,

On behalf of the new Southern Irish Gentlemanly Conservative Party.

(Who needs Europe with friends like we have back in the UK !).

Whew, like Frank I am relieved that my vote did not banish the Irish back to the Hungry Fifties -

what a relief to hear the Italian Foreign Minister say that he believes that Ireland only gave Europe a cold shower.

And even better, the British through their Foreign Secretary today swore to defend us !

Thank God for that with all our Army Officers out on their nearest golf course…

On second thoughts I might hold you responsible.

And then set up my own Government. The TUPPI party. (The Upstanding Peoples Party of Ireland) And we would show lots of films about the EU. Every night between 7 and 10. Accompanied by Beethoven’s ninth, the wendy carlos clockwork orange electronic version. And frank would be my alastair campell PR man, whether he liked it or not.

The French fella Domnic de Villepin gave a great lecture about the European project on the BBC’s dimbleby lecture programme. Cant find it online, but it explained a langerload of stuff previously very murky. Why didn’t our government attempt to educate us in this way? They’ve no fucking imagination at all.

Actually, I have come to the conclusion that the no vote came through because nobody actually knows anything about the European project at all. How many people know how the EU parliment actually works? (myself included) How many times it convenes? How decisions are made?

‘Europe’ is totally faceless. If they had got there arses in gear, produced a short tv piece explaining what it is they are planning for Europe, with real faces and voices, people would feel less afraid. Who wants to vote for some kind of faceless entity, it’s like voting for the freemasons…

Well I wont hold you personally responsible if this little nation of ours becomes the backward, isolated outpost it once was.
