We have had enough heartless EU bureaucracy

FIANNA Fáil MEP Brian Crowley is touring Co Cork at present, continuing to promote the official Lisbon Treaty line — that a no vote was a vote against Europe.

But alert voters have already seen the leaked memos, published in the national press, instructing the yes lobbyists to peddle this precise line, muddying the issue.

Possibly, Mr Crowley has not read the 1,000-page document — deliberately obscure, as the yes side have already admitted — as carefully as those he accuses of scaremongering.
