Are there parallels to be drawn between the EU and the late, unlamented Warsaw Pact? Czech Republic president Václav Klaus puts the case.
Klaus tells Peter Robinson of the Hoover Institution that the leader of one country, which he declined to specify, told him that a referendum would not be possible in his country as the people would overwhelmingly vote against it.
He alluded to the kickbacks 'earned' by the traitors who sold their countries to the EU.

Dear Fausty
Last week you were kicking old Vaclav - this week your singing his heroic praises. Some consistency, please! Regards etc.
Dear Julian,
I don't believe I've ever posted anything negative about Klaus. Can you enlighten?
Thanks.
Dear Fausty
Did you not give him a rather hard time immediately after Lisbon was ratified (unfairly in my opinion)- I seem to remember a certain amount of consternation when the kitchen sink was launched??... I do hope that I have not confused this blog with numerous others ! Regards etc.
Dear Julian,
Not to my knowledge, Julian. I spluttered and turned a deep magenta when Cameron announced we'd not get a referendum, but I don't think I said anything negative about Klaus. He's a hero, IMV.
Must've been another blog!
Welcome to the Selectocracy, even Meritocracy is too good to describe modern Europe.
Such is the way of Marxists, banned. Mandy gave us a glimpse of the EU's chosen future when he referred to the coming "post-democratic age".
Klaus is about as good as it gets, politician wise. It is indeed a shame he signed in the end, but rather than hoping the Irish will save us or Vaclav Klaus, the people in this country need to get off their arses.
Here's a transcript of a speech by Klaus, which the interviewer quotes to him at the beginning of the vid - it's worth a read:

Thanks for the transcript link, Trooper.
We should fight out own battles and not expect anyone to save us. Cameron's reliance on Klaus has not shown him in a favourable light. That the populace of England were reliant on Klaus says more about the lack of leadership or true scepticism in the Tory party than it says about Klaus.
