"There is a very bad case of denial in this chamber this morning, a total refusal to accept that the euro project is failing.

Greece is on the verge of a default, the bailout fund is creaking, the credibility of the European Central Bank itself is now being called into question. It's all on the verge of going belly up, and yet, when the credit rating agencies tell the truth you try and pretend it's not happening.

Indeed Mr Brok and others were suggesting it was some dastardly plot by the Americans and the British and the Anglo-Saxon markets to bring down the euro.

The rating agencies are nothing more than the canary in the mine. They are telling you the truth. And please listen to Standard and Poor when they say austerity alone will not work. You are driving these countries into depression just to save your euro project.

But I must acknowledge that you have lost absolutely nothing when it comes to your powers of deception. No, that's still very much on course. It was Nick Clegg that gave us the clue; Clegg - a man who I suspect is rather more popular here than he is back at home these days.

Clegg was asked, 'Should there be a referendum on the forthcoming treaty?' He said 'Oh No', 'there's no need for that because it's all going to be folded in to the existing treaties.' And I thought, what the Dickens is he talking about?

Well, now I've learnt. Mr Cohn-Bendit made it clear - it's to be the Community Method, it's to be legislation where you know you got a majority in this parliament and you know under qualified majority in the Council you can get everything through. And why are you doing it this way?- well it's simple isn't it? It's to avoid referendums because you know if a treaty was put to Ireland and many other countries the answer would be 'No.'

The peoples of Europe do not want this sado-monetarist package. The peoples of Europe need, particularly in the case of the South, to get out of the euro, to have a devaluation and a chance to re-establish themselves again. You are denying them that chance and by pushing the Community Method you are destroying democracy in Europe. I hope you are all very proud of yourselves."

curious if Barroso saw that page full of bullshit before he read it.

[cama9103]

God this is really sad we can do really nothing :(

[SirWinstoneChurchill]

Nick Clegg is a fucking homo...

[Licmycat]

Send ur military in to arrest them or blow them away if they resist like we need to do to our crooks here. Be careful, I know U.S. sent a base there and I just found out they are in cahoots with the vatican gov. to take universal control over this planet and are using bases in all lands as starter colonization sites. I wouldn't blame u if u sent our people packing out of ur land, in fact I'd agree!

[2010butchd]

anyone have any trust in the eu or belive barosso gives a flying fuck about anyone but himself

[rinseoutdrycleaner]

what the fuck was baboso talking about, how can someone who tries to make a point like that not have another agenda? i wonder which elite banking mafia will end up controlling this european central bank.. i assume it will be Rothschild. Perhaps once this treaty is implemented the family will be able to reward the politicians of the european parliament with a brown envelope rise.

[MrWompz]

If Europeans overthrow this diseased government, I'm sure Barroso's house will be one of the many stops to throw these gangsters into prison.
