AFTER President Chirac's speech to the Reichstag in Berlin, in which he couldn't have made it clearer that Germany and France intend to create a country called Europe, can Blair and Hague now pretend to have any doubt as to what the real EU agenda is?

For the single market and the single currency to work there has got to be a single government with power to raise taxes, namely VAT.

For Blair and Hague to pretend otherwise is a crime against our society.

We, United Kingdom citizens, must demand a proper debate and referendum on our future before it is too late.
