As usual, there’s plenty of good stuff over at the EU Referendum blog. Most interesting today, perhaps, is the discussion of comments from a minister in the German government that the draft EU constitution will be the launch pad for even deeper integration. True enough, but not very helpful for Tony Blair who is busy telling Brits that signing up for the constitution will represent the end-stage of the process of European integration.

It’s worth noting that one of the reasons for the bitterness of the EU debate in the UK is the sense among many Brits that they have been consistently lied to over the nature of what it is they have signed up for. At almost every stage of the EU process, going the whole way back to the accession debates in 1972, ‘pro-Europeans’ (inaccurate description, but it will have to do) have downplayed the possibility of any further integration.

And at almost every stage of the EU process they are later shown to have lied.
