So the French have voted Non in the referendum on the EU Constitution. This means nothing changes for a while, as the existing treaties carry on.

Peter Mandelson, the British commissioner, in best weasel wordsmithing, menacingly suggests the French should think carefully about the debate from now on, and in six months time vote again. Sort of Robert Mugabe stuff, but without the violence!
The EU Commission appears wedded to only one version of the truth, one version of democracy, and one version of internal accountability. I think the French people have rumbled them. The Brussels hierachy would do well to listen and learn. Something Tony Blair says he is doing!
When will the government understand that growth requires us to make things?
