From the moment the Irish vote Yes to ratification, we don't live in a country at all - we live in a REGION. We will all find out soon enough that our regional government (which owes its allegiance to the EU) has actually been in place for a while now, but the gloves will come off after tomorrow.
The Sun today says that Tony Blair will become President of Europe very quickly after the Irish vote, and that has the ring of truth to it. But despite the fuss people will make about him, the job is all about image, not substance. It is the European equivalent of Jim Hacker becoming Prime Minister - Sir Humphrey will still be in charge.
By the time the next election is over, the doings of the British parliament will begin to fade from the news as the BBC wakes up to who is really in charge. We will start to see Westminster as it really is - a comedy soap opera and nothing more.
All this is already done and dusted. Nothing can change it. We let it happen. I don't care whether anyone believes me or not.

Dear Mrs. Harman,
I have a few points to make regarding your recent remarks regarding my website and your fantastic demand that the Governor of California close it down.
Firstly, PunterNet is not violating any laws. If it were, then surely the many websites catering to the US prostitution scene (where sex for pay is almost completely illegal) would already have been closed down.
In the USA, there is a concept called freedom of speech which is considered the most important personal right guaranteed by the Constitution. It exists specifically to prevent the sort of abuse of power that you are attempting. The Governor (indeed, even the President) has no authority with which to shut down a perfectly lawful enterprise such as PunterNet.
PunterNet was not the first, and is certainly not the only, website in the UK with the same subject matter. Rather than creating the demand for commercial sex, sites like PunterNet are a response to that demand, which has existed since the dawn of mankind and certainly long before the advent of the Internet!
One of the missions of PunterNet is education - to provide information and guidance in hopes that the commercial sex scene is limited to consenting adults and those who choose of their own free will to engage in it.
If sites like this one did not exist, and if prostitution were outlawed, then it would effectively be handed to organised crime on a platter - just as happened with liquor during Prohibition. If, on the other hand, sexwork is recognised as a legitimate, honourable profession, then there will be no market for the criminal elements, and the truly despicable aspects of the scene such as sex slavery and trafficking will die out. Surely that is a far more desirable goal than driving it back underground where it will then consist only of criminals and victims?
In closing, I would like to thank you for the huge influx of traffic to my website which your actions have caused. I am sure that the ladies who are a part of the PunterNet community thank you as well, as they will no doubt benefit financially from the many new clients who might otherwise never have found them.

Thought the title would have made it clear.
