Blair is getting seriously worried about opposition to the proposed EU constitution, if his reaction and the reaction of his government to the rising criticism is anything to go by. Let’s face it: he’s never going to convince enough people that a document publicly referred to as a ‘constitution’ has no constitutional implications for Britain. But I do like the way he keeps bringing up the exit option, even if it is to describe it as “disastrous”; this reminds people that withdrawal is an option to think about.
And I’m not even going to get started on why withdrawal from the EU would not be remotely “disastrous”, on why this is a laughable claim, and on why Blair is a mendacious creep. Because you probably know the reasons for all three.
