Time to rein in the Trojan horse

THE only reason I can imagine for voting in favour of the Nice referendum is its potential for encouraging a European superstate which might balance an out-of-control American superstate.

Perhaps this is the real, but unspoken, reason all of our great and good are desperately trying to persuade us to reverse our democratic decision of last year.

But the only person who, as usual, is bluntly honest about the matter is our Tánaiste

It was reported from Washington that on September 5, Mary Harney gave out the clear message (in Washington, of course) that we should vote ‘yes’ principally to assist the growth of American influence in Europe.

How come? Our voting ‘no’ would displease American multinational investors who continue to use Ireland as an economic Trojan horse to invade the EU.

Never trust Greeks bearing gifts. I shall vote ‘no.’
