EU Referendum question decided


British politics is now set to face a public referendum on the EU. In an unprecedented move the question for the ballot has been decided and published early to start an "open, frank debate without jingoistic prejudice", said one commentator.

The question is, "Do you think we can trust the French?"


"it is great to see that a modernising attitude has swept the nation, a multicultural nation of Britain ready to embrace a new identity as Europeans, as well as our rich and much envied traditional notion of nation", said eddy izzard, pro European lifestyle genius.


The Daily Mail has set up an expected NO vote campaign, and aligned itself with most the of Conservative Party. Their front line anti foreign spokesman said, "for a long time now we have taken a complex issue of EU integration and explained it in terms couched in thinly veiled racism and prejudice." Mr Brampton continued, "I asked one man if he wanted to join Europe and he said 'no i don't like garlic' - he is now heading up the EU report task force".


Tory leader David Cameron is said to be angry at Tory party hard liners who want the question to include the much more complex issue of the Germans. Desperate Dave said, "I have a BMW can't we forgive and forget. I'm not going to send back my bang and olufsen hi fi either- no matter how much lord cashcroft bullies me".


Lord cashcroft, paymaster general of the Tory party, said, "I have told him that bang and oflusen are danish".


It looks like the question of the EU will run and run, with many Britain's embracing this new philosophy of open minded debate - with no problems whatsoever.
