Gordon Brown, David Miliband and the rest of the Labour Government never tire of telling us that the shiny new EU Treaty is nothing like the old EU Constitution, they are as different as "fish and fowl". I blogged some time ago about the percentages that various EU figures had given as to how similar the EU Treaty is to the Constitution, Mr. Giscard d’Estaing said that more than 90% remains and Jean-Luc Dehaene, the former Prime Minister of Belgium, says that the figure is 95%. Now Giscard d'Estaing has said that "Looking at the content, the result is that the institutional proposals of the constitutional treaty … are found complete in the Lisbon Treaty, only in a different order and inserted in former treaties," He continued "Above all, it is to avoid having referendum thanks to the fact that the articles are spread out and constitutional vocabulary has been removed,""
What do you say to that Mr Brown? Is Giscard d'Estaing lieing or are you and your cohorts?
So BBC will you cover this story or will you stick to questioning any policy that the Conservative Party comes up with?

Just discovered your excllent blog! It's nice to know I'm not the only blogger who thinks Gordon Brown is lying through his teeth about this awful Treaty!
Then again, does anyone actually believe a word he says about anything these days?
