The Irish: telling it like it is

Thank God for the Irish. Instead of the nonsense that gets talked in the UK, Taoiseach Bertie Ahern is telling it like it is:

"I think all the changes that we've made are all changes for the worse but thankfully they haven't changed the substance - 90 per cent of it is still there."

On the change of name for the EU Foreign Minister he said: "It's the original job as proposed but they just put on this long title - High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and also vice President of the Commission. "It's the same job - it's to avoid the rest of the world not having an easy contact point [for the EU] - it's still going to be the same position." (Irish Independent)

Oh, and he also promised to hold a referendum.

We're going to move to Dublin...
