The news this morning:

The public will be confused by police community service officers having a similar uniform to the police.

There should be a referendum on the new EU treaty.

Is this the same public? because the guys confused in the first story are not competent to vote on the second.


EDIT:
Reform Treaty is here:

Well, in the second case the public will have time to consult their newspaper to find out which way to vote. In the first case they might not have time to get to a newsagents...

I haven't read the treaty, so I'm pretty sure no one else has either.

I feel that someone needs to, who isn't getting elected or sales on the basis of it. Not that I'm enthusiastically volunteering... Mind you, right now I would support every aspect of a treaty that tied us deeper to Europe, if it meant cutting the same level of ties to - well, guess where.
