Have my say

This EU constitution referendum thing, the Beeb have been kind enough to set up one of their Have your say resources where, you know, people can have their say. You really should go and read some of them:

The EU is a forward thinking entity that looks ahead to a bright and prosperous future. The UK has become a backward thinking, stick in the mud that still harps back to the good old days when we had an empire. It's time to join the modern world and realise that "they" are not out to get us but we can all enjoy an exiting future together. - Simon Gould, Brighton, England

If you want an exciting future, together, vote Yes! All that lovely constitutionally encouraged bright and prosperous future fun. Without it the British stand no chance of being forward thinking. Just because.

The public shouldn't be given a vote, because the public can't be trusted to make the right decision. There's too much arrogant pride, and not enough knowledge about the key benefits that are involved. - Tony, Beds, UK

That's great Tony. We can rely on you to let us know who should be allowed to vote on what. Stick it to those stupid people. Arrogantly.

We need to be with Europe for political and economic reasons. It seems that we are a nation of europhobes and that the Atlantic Ocean is smaller than the English Channel. Show me where I can join the Yes campaign! - Dave Macey, Bournemouth

Dave, the English channel is part of the Atlantic Ocean. Anyhow, shouldn't we start referring to it as La Manche? You know, for political and economic reasons. Only joking, you're right to bring the Americans into this. They are worse than Europeans, somehow.

There should definitely not be a referendum. Until the general public stops relying on the narrow-minded red-top newspapers to feed them an opinion on Europe, I believe that the government is right to overrule their wishes. - Marco, St Albans, UK

Overrule the wishes of the people. I like it Marco; it sounds so nasty.

Tony Blair, after dismissing the prospect of a referendum for years, has just returned from the USA and decided he wants a referendum. Who is he really listening to? - Mike Gascoigne, Camberley, UK

Dear God! It's all Bush's fault.

I was just about to open comments on this posting but decided against it. You people out there are too stupid and backward thinking to have any kind of say on this. Oh yeah, America sux!
