    Groundhog Day - Lisbon ll date set at Cabinet

    But they haven't announced it yet

    Six One news so.

    Early October - any predictions on the actual date?

    That's right 860,000 people who voted last June are nutters. None of us understand anything about anything.

    The YES voters, on the other hand, are all super intelligent and have read and understood the treaty from cover to cover. Also, none of them are associated with, or voted for, FF (the party who flushed this country down the jacks) or FF Lite, who would also have done most of the same things if they were in power for the last 12 years.

    Arrogant pr!ck.

    Minister E Ryan on Q+A last night says the date would be set at today's Cabinet meeting. Are they playing games with us again?

    If the date has been set why wont they tell us? The contempt these swines show for the people of this Country is shocking.

    Does this mean I get to sleep with Andy Macdowell when the Lisbon vote is finally over?

    Looks like you may have hit the nail on the head.

    Reading this, it fits with the date having been set yesterday at Cabinet, but being deliberately withheld from us for tactical reasons, as we saw last time round.

    Some tactics.

    Last time they announced the date after I booked my holidays and I'd have voted yes!
