We in the UK have been much taken by the reaction elsewhere to the Cameron speech, vaguely promising a referendum on EU membership if (
and there's a lot of ifs), he wins the next election, and if he can't negotiate new terms of membership .... in fact he's tied now to hold it regardless, of the terms, because if they offer no terms we can't just stay in with no vote. However its the
interference of our supposed friends which bugs me and many others in the
UK.

Take the reaction in the US for example, one would suppose they would be sympathetic to the idea of throwing off the '
absolute Tyranny' of a foreign power' (
well at least towards us thinking of it),
but they have been lukewarm towards even the idea of the UK
demonstrating democracy in action, with the President's press secretary,
Jay Carney welcoming '
Cameron's call for Britain to remain in the European Union' ....
