Businessman Stuart Wheeler, a major Conservative Party donor, claimed he had "a legitimate expectation" that Gordon Brown would hold a vote on the Lisbon Treaty and the decision to go back on their promise should be declared unlawful.

Mr Justice Owen ruled that Mr Wheeler, 73, had "an arguable case" that should go to a full hearing.

Mr Wheeler made more than £30m from spread-betting firm IG Index and raised £150,000 from 150 donors to pay for his High Court battle.

He said: "I am absolutely delighted that we won the case".

On a further take on this story, it would appear that a supposedly anti EU political nasty party is rather miffed that this wheeler chap has the audacity to legally challenge the establishment, they say on their nasty website

“A breakthrough on the block on legal challenges to the government over the EU? Or a red herring that may waste a little time, and swallow up precious resources allowing the establishment to call a biased referendum to complete our captivity. Remember, any such referendum would be in contradiction of our own constitutional laws.”

“Why? Because our constitution prevents anyone from giving away our freedom. And one generation making a decision that would enslave the next is certainly not acceptable. In other words each and every one of the EU Treaties is by British Law illegal. The problem is that the Courts no longer obey Laws that the establishment find inconvenient.”

take a long hard look at the last line “The problem is that the Courts no longer obey Laws that the establishment find inconvenient.” ???......

It is for that reason we suspect wheeler is challenging those laws and so far he has been successful, and who knows what will happen in this uncertain political climate, the courts often smash the government proposals and ill thought out policies on crime, immigration by throwing human rights and other nonsense back at the government, just maybe, this guy may get lucky, not forgetting opening a can of worms for the fence sitting no policy Cameron.

Should Wheeler be successful, then the EU will become paralysed once more, and just maybe, the penny will drop when the politicians start tearing themselves apart and start asking should we ask the ultimate question, In or Out.

Our only conclusion to the nasty “pro EU” BNP is that they don't want to be isolated from their far right chums in France, Germany and Italy who are dreaming of the day they can huddle together, wear long leather coats, sing songs and form the European wide forth Reich.
