Miliband signs Britain away

FOREIGN Secretary David Miliband signed the hated EU treaty - hours before Prime Minister Gordon Brown arrived in Lisbon.

Due to the PM's delayed arrival, Mr Miliband was the only foreign minister to attend the televised ceremony alone, amid a stream of prime ministers and presidents from the other 26 EU states.

Mr Brown also later signed the document in a low key ceremony.

The news will be a blow to the country's voters - The Sun's EU petition has received 28,000 votes saying no to the Treaty.

Today’s ceremony took place in the beautiful surroundings of Lisbon's 500-year-old Jeronimos Monastery.

Country by country, presidents, prime ministers and foreign ministers of the EU nations were called up to put their names to the document.

Only Mr Miliband went to the podium alone to inscribe his name on Britain’s behalf.

He also took part in the official “family photoâ€

Mr Brown faces a bitter Commons revolt in January when he tries to force the treaty through Parliament.

Hopefully Parliament can revoke this and stand up for the people of the UK.

England can retreat from this treaty, if it wants to. What's the rest of the EU going to do? Nothing, they can't. I say England will be the first to pull out of this evil treaty, eventually.

Is that the way it will happen here?

Well, with more secrecy, but are they stalling on enforcing the law until they can get the treaty signed with Mexico.

Is that why they are 'detaining' them rather than deporting them?

Will this be the 'parting gift' from this very destructive President?

We have to get serious -
