Delegates at the TUC conference earlier this week have demanded the Prime Minister give the British people a say over EU membership in a national vote.

This is a major embarrassment for Labour, as the TUC now looks set to form an alliance with the Tory party due to Labours constant refusal of a National Referendum.

Bob Crowe, general secretary of one of the unions at the TUC, the RMT, said: "If it is good enough for the Irish to have a vote in the referendum,it should be good enough for British workers.

The vote came as it was discovered that Britain has been involved in emergency talks in Brussels to ensure that European judges are not able to challenge our Foreign policy as EU officials have "watered down" a key Blair "Red Line", removing Britain's right to control our own Foreign Policy.

David Cameron, Tory leader, has promised to force a vote in the House Of Commons when MP's return from the Summer recess. Cameron called on opposition MP's to back the motion calling the treaty "the wrong constitution for Europe"

Crazy Britain Update

Britain's health & safety continues to go crazy. A builder who broke his ankle in three places has been refused surgery until he quits smoking.

John Nuttall, 57, snapped the joint whilst at work in 2005 and has had to have two morphine injections daily to control the pain.

John, a smoker for 40 years says that he's paid his National Insurance for 40 years, along the additional cigarette taxes, but the NHS are shutting him out until he quits.

This follows a ruling by the then Health Secretary, Patricia Hewitt, in June, giving doctors the right to refuse surgery unless smokers give up for at least 4 weeks.

Proposed New NHS Guidelines

The Government hasn't thought of these - yet. How's this for a few more "Useful", life enhancing, strategies:

Drug Overdosers: should not be treated until free of drugs for 4 weeks minimun

Alcoholics: should not be treated until free of alcohol for four weeks

Traffic Accidents: Should not be treated until proven that they have driven any vehicle for 4 weks

DIY Accidents: Also deemed to be the fault of the casualty - therefore won't be treated.

Old age complaints: Also the patients own fault - should not be treated.

BUT:

All patients found to be working for the Health and Safety departments, in any capacity, will be immediately admmitted under the Mental Health Regulations.

EU to let in 20Million Africans

European Commission bosses are vowing to open European borders to 20 Million Africans and Asians.

EU Justice Commissioner Franco Frattini has made the proposal, and critics fear the immigrants will flood to our country as oppose to the rest of Europe. Frattini's proposal also includes making skilled workers British Citizenship after two years here; and unskilled workers would qualify for citizenship after 5 years.

Shadow Home Secretary David Davis said: " Since this would be likely to be in addition to already large scale (EU) immigration, the stress placed on housing, public services, and community relations in Britain would be enormous.

It is vital the Government retains control over who is let into the UK and should not allow the EU to create loopholes that would make a mockery of a well balanced immigration system.

Evidence already shows the UK bears the brunt of EU immigration, with our population due to grow by 20 million by 2050.

Migration Watch said that the UK needs the plan "like a hole in the head".
