Baroness Kinnock of Holyhead confrims Irish Lisbon guarantees are meaningless

category international | eu | other press author Saturday July 04, 2009 09:03author by Blacbloc Report this post to the editors

Game up for the Yes campaign

A politics.ie poster has retrieved the text of a House of Lords debate from Hansard in which Kinnock says the guarantees are not legally binding. The whole yes camp are caught with trousers down by their ankles! Here's what she said: "Those guarantees do not change the Lisbon treaty; the European Council conclusions are very clear on them. The Lisbon treaty, as debated and decided by our Parliament, will not be changed and, on the basis of these guarantees, Ireland will proceed to have a second referendum in October." She added: "Nothing in the treaty will change and nothing in the guarantees will change the treaty as your Lordships agreed it."

The discussion on p.ie is instructive in one way: we can see already the sort of lying, brazen fronting-up of this monumental faux pas that we're going to have to listen to.

Read more of what Kinnock said here. It's unequivocal.
