Well done, the Daily Express.
For once, a crusade launched by a national newspaper has actually produced a result. Whether this will prove to be a valuable result remains, of course, to be seen.
On Monday, the Express delivered a petition with 373,000 signatures demanding that the UK be given a referendum on whether we should remain part of the Fourth Reich. Mr Cameron did say during the course of his election campaign that he wanted a Big Society which reflected the will of the people. Now he has the chance to prove that he means what he says.
The petition has the support of several MPs including Kate Hoey (Vauxhall), Peter Bone (Wellingborough) and Douglas Carswell (Clacton).
Kate Hoey said "This shows that a huge number of people believe we should leave the EU. Politicians of all parties need to take note." Not often I agree with a Labour politician, but this issue transcends party politics.
What should happen now is that there is a debate in the House leading to a Bill for a referendum. I'd like to think they could hold a vote alongside the additional vote referendum later this year, but just look at the way they are arseing about on that one.
I sincerely doubt that anything will come of this. So much for democracy - but then Third Reich was never big on that either...
