I will stand agog if Cameron has balls to do this


The Open Europe think-tank suggested last week that the Government faced a "one-off opportunity" to repatriate 130 EU laws on crime and policing. A provision in the Lisbon Treaty means ministers must decide before June 2014 whether the entire package should continue to apply to the UK, it claimed.

The MPs, including former shadow home secretary David Davis and the chairman of the backbench 1922 Committee Graham Brady, said the Open Europe report offered a "pragmatic alternative" to European Commission plans for "a pan-European code of Euro Crimes".

Declining to sign up would still leave open the option to opt back in to any individual element deemed vital on a case-by-case basis, they wrote.

A Downing Street spokesman said: "The Government will be looking closely at these laws and whether they benefit Britain before making a decision about whether to opt in. In taking any decision we will act in the national interest."

Which means that Cameron will do nothing but accede to the wishes of the EU.

    Yep, you just know that it isn’t going to happen, Cameron is a committed Europhile. He’s not fit to have the title of Conservative.
